One Month

I can't believe how fast this month went! It's amazing seeing how much Addison has grown and changed, and how much we both have learned! Some things Addison has learned this month are:

• Smiling - a lot, but at nothing in particular, usually in her sleep.
• Finding her mouth with her fist so that she can suck on it - she used to miss her mouth most of the time.
• Holding her hands - this is the cutest thing. She will hold one hand with the other when she's nursing, or when she breaks out of her swaddle, but especially when one hand is in her mouth, her other hand looks to be holding it there.
• Pushing up with her legs. She has some strong legs, and will push off of my stomach if I am trying to hold her against my chest and she doesn't want to be there.
• Looking at the mobile on her swing. She just started doing this last week. I put her in her swing and she became mesmerized with the little toys on the mobile, they weren't spinning, or making noise, but she loves to watch them now.
• Turning her head to find me when she hears my voice. As a new mom, this makes everything worth it, to know that she knows my voice and wants to find me.
• Following Brad and I with her eyes. We have to be pretty close, but she will be able to keep her eyes on us if we move...most of the time. :)
