Addison is One Month Old

Christmas is now over. Grandpa and Grandma Willmore came for 10 days after Christmas to get to know Addison. We had a great time with them. We traveled to Pennsylvania to visit Grandpa Rod's mission, we visited a wonderful couple that he had baptized and are still active in the church. It was wonderful getting to know them and their kids. We also spent a day in Washington DC and visited the Air and Space Smithsonian, I couldn't believe how much we could see there. Oh, we also spent a few minutes viewing the hope diamond, my favorite!!! I must convince RJ to buy if for me some day!

Addison has now turned one month old. She is a "perfect" little baby. At least her dad and I think so.

RJ has returned to school and is working hard in his new classes. He is already as busy as ever, and I hardly ever see him. I do get to see him when he comes down for study breaks to snuggle and kiss Addison. It is no longer me he wants to kiss and snuggle, oh well.

I have been having a good time with Addison during the day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get much done around the house. Addison was much too spoiled during her first month of life with grandma's and grandpa around. Addison loves to be held, she can't even sleep without being held, so the house isn't as clean and tidy as I would like it, but I have loved being with Addison. Our little Angel is already sleeping great at night. I get at least three to five hours at a time, yeah! I just hope that it lasts.

Gizmo has had a rough first month. He has had a skin problem from the change in weather and half of his hair fell out. Of course it happened when the lover of inside pets was at the house, my mother. But he is doing much better now. He is still a little curious about Addison when she cries. He is great at alerting me if I don't hear her right away. He would love to give her lots of kisses, but of course RJ and I haven't let him get his fill in yet. Perhaps when she if Five or Six.

That's all for now, it will take me a while to get a hang of this "blog stuff." I am really bad when it comes to technology, and RJ is really busy with studies and can't help me as much as I would like. lots of love, RJ, Joelle, Addison, and Gizmo

Joelle,
Mom and I are trying to figure out this blogging thing. We are both novices. We sent you an earlier comment on your beautiful baby and can't wait to see and hold her. Let us know if you received it. Love Granma and Barb

Yes I got your comment. I am so glad that you are figuring out how to use this blog. I am trying to figure it out as well! I feel like an idiot sometimes, but it is coming along, slowly. Can't wait to see you both in February.
love, joelle
