Updates on Addison

Addison looks so healthy she is starting to look like a regular newborn. I think she is advanced to what a regular new born is too, when we brought her home at 4 weeks she was starting to lift her head and hold it for short times, now she does this all the time. She scoots herself around too, we will wake up in the morning and her head will be up against her bassinet bars and she'll have indention's on her head because she scoots around, she also has started almost rolling, a few times she has ended up on her side and I don't know if these are fluke accidents but she has done them. She is also smiling a lot more and turns her head to look at me when I'm talking to her. I can't wait to get her smile on camera it is so cute, it always makes me cry when she looks right up at me and smiles. We just love her so much, she is the joy of our lives and we couldn't imagine our lives without her, they would be so plain and boring. It is hard to not take her out and show her off especially for Thanksgiving.



I had to post this. It looks like she is going on a safari! Now doesn't she look healthy to you?

I guess we are staying here and having our very own Thanksgiving just the three of us, it will be just fine I'm sure. I don't have any groceries for Thanksgiving and I won't have a chance to go shopping until tomorrow night so keep your fingers crossed that there will be some Thanksgiving food left for us! I can just picture my experience tomorrow and I hope it isn't like Christmas with the Kranks where the mom goes to get a ham and it's the last one so she struggles with another person and wins the battle and then as she gets out to her car the ham falls out and gets ran over by a semi-truck. I'm just hoping that there is plenty of food, I know last year the city had ran out of yams and things got ugly. Hopefully it will be a quiet calm experience, I'm not looking for a turkey I'm just looking for a ham a very small ham so we should be fine. It will nice to be able to have all this family time. I'm thinking come April you will not be able to keep us indoors we are going to be gone all the time making up for the six months we were on lock down.

She looks great! Very healthy. I admire you for being able to stay home with her so much, that is really hard to do. I am so sorry for not being able to do Amanda's hair, it was last minute that I decided to go back to SLC for training. Anyway, I hope all is well. My family is all sick right now so I don't want to be the carrier of germs to your house! Happy Thanksgiving!

So when are they moving? Dan didn't say, he just said something about "around Christmas time" or something like that... Bergen will be better off for having them!!
When Addison is running around charming ice cream off of everybody she knows, Norway will be your next destination, right? ;) You're always welcome!! We've bought a farm, we're moving in Feb. 1st.. By the way, it's a six bedroom house. So we've got plently of space for house guests!
