These are a few of our favorite things

Well Adda is officially one week old today. In just one short week our lives have changed completely, but we LOVE the change! These are a few of our favorite things about Adda...

She brings such a wonderful spirit into our home.
She has a personality all her own, and she keeps us laughing and smiling all the time.
She also smiles all the time. I know that people say babies this young can't smile and that it's just gas, but we don't believe it. She smiles way too much for it to all be gas.
She is already working on building her core muscles.  She does her ab exercises every day. She lays on her back and stretches out her little legs and then lifts them about 4 inches off the ground and just holds them there. She's going to have a 6-pack before she can even hold her head up.
It takes her a good 30-45 minutes to wake up to eat. She has to do all her stretches and make all her faces before she will open her eyes or mouth to eat.
She loves her bouncer chair! That thing has saved our sanity a couple nights this week. She prefers it to her bassinet some nights, and naps in it often during the day.
She looks so cute wrapped up in her towel/bath robe after getting a sponge bath.
She likes to give us big hugs while we burp her. She stretches her arms out wide as she's laying against our chest.

We sure do love our little Addalynne!
