Addelyn Marie




Addelyn is here and is already one week old! She was born Friday, Nov. 21, 2008. 12:33pm. Weighing 8 lbs. 12 oz and 21 in long! Addelyn is an adorable baby. She has blonde/brown hair - quite the change in this family! She is quiet and content so far. I love snuggling with her and smelling that baby smell. Even in just one week she has already changed. She stays awake for a little bit longer these days before drifting back to sleep. Last night she slept in her bassinet for 4 hours on her own! I was proud and rewarded her by snuggling with her for the next hour. I am cherishing these days with her so tiny and don't want her to change too quickly!
Mackenzie is an awesome sister. She is so in love with Addelyn. She came running in from school this week yelling, "Addelyn...I'm home!!" She will teach Addelyn everything she knows and love her in the process.
Nate is a great brother too! He is sooo gentle with her. I'm proud of my not even two year old boy! He pats her head, kisses her, and wants to be near her. He loves to hold her - runs to the couch and gets into position!
Ryan is the best Dad I've ever seen. He oohed over a milk bubble in Addelyn's mouth the other day and that made me laugh! It was cute to see him so in love with our third...as if he hasn't seen all this before! He is patient and always willing to get up in the middle of the night just to hold her.
We are blessed. God is good. All the time.
