Weeks 6 and 7

They say a dairy intolerance can cause sleeplessness, so I am trying to eliminate (or at least cut back on that). It must be working (or she's just getting older) because she is napping a bit better. She smiles a lot more, which makes it all more fun. She really likes her books (we have bedtime ones, and daytime ones). She is fitting into her little outfits now (at first, she could only wear the tiny sleepers). Isn't she a great early Christmas present to put under the tree?

Weeks 4 and 5

Here is a picture of Addie smiling on the changing table at four weeks, and with her second cousins Sam and Claire at five weeks, The thrush is gone, but Addie still doesn't nap much. She sleeps about four to six hours fewer than she is supposed to, most days. We may just be the lucky parents of a kid who hates naps! Luckily, she sleeps (usually) pretty well at night - two shifts of 4 hours each. This means fewer updates here! She smiles more and is starting to 'talk.' She did really well on our road trip to Iowa for Thanksgiving, we had such fun!! Pity I can't drive to Iowa every day.
