It’s hard trying to lift up and bobble that head!
Addison found her first friends – the little lambs on her swing’s mobile. She “discovered” her friends over the weekend and is completely mesmerized with them every time she sits in the swing.

One of Billy’s favorite days of the year is the Sunday before Memorial Day because he can watch the Indianapolis 500 and the Charlotte 600 races. To get in the spirit of racing, we dressed Addison in the outfit her Uncle John gave her last Christmas. Notice how unhappy Addison was wearing the outfit. She would much rather wear a Kyle Busch onesie to support her dad. It took lots of comforting to make her happy again (with a promise never to make her wear the outsie again).
To make the day even more special, we decided to barbeque some meat with his new smoker. We made some brisket and a whole chicken. Billy manned the grill for 7 hours to make some delicious smoked meat.
Look at Addison holding up her head while doing tummy time with daddy.
Yesterday, Billy and I received the proofs from Addison’s photo shoot. They are so cute, and we can’t wait to share them with all of you. First, we will need to choose which shots we want and then we can order the prints. Doesn’t she just look so sweet in this picture?
Addison has become more and more alert over the last week. She is beginning to sleep less during the day and look around while she is awake. So we decided to get out the play mat to see if she would like it. I don’t think it will be long before she gets the hang of it.
Addison had a busy weekend meeting her great aunts and great uncle from West Virginia. To meet them, she got all prettied up in her new dress from Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike. She was excited to be held all day on Saturday which led to a restful Saturday night and Sunday.

Last night, Addison’s umbilical cord fell off (yay!) so that means she can now get a real bath. So out came her bathtub, which belonged to Cousin Brady. And look how much happier she is compared to her first bath. I think she likes having her bum in the warm water. What a big girl!
Addison had her first photo shoot yesterday. It started a little rocky, but she got into her groove about a half hour in. We should get the rest of the pics in the next couple of weeks, but here is a sneak peek of our little angel. I can’t get over how precious these shots are!
