Our first couple of weeks as four







Our first couple of weeks as four family members has been a bit challenging to say the least but we have adjusted well. Addison is still acting out and trying to get some attention. We are constantly working on behavior and having Daddy and other family and friends come and take Addie to the pool, park or just run errands so that she feels special. We still go to the gym every day for play and we have stuck to our routine pretty well for play, lunch and nap. Jesse has only once not decided to sleep at the same time as sister. He is a good baby. He is up most nights at 1am and 5am and that's about it. We put him down around 10:30 every night. Every day gets a little easier. Thankfully, Addison doesn't mind his crying and Jesse doesn't seem to wake from Addison's tantrums. We are trying to get back on track with potty training Addison again. Not much success but still working on it. Jesse is going to eat us out of the house. He is now 9 pounds at 2 weeks and was 8 pounds 6 ounces at birth. He is a great baby. He spits up some but we have learned just to burp him regularly so that he doesn't spit up. Addison says and does cute things every day. Except yesterday when she locked me out of the house without keys, cell phone, and both kids inside the house. She turned the knob lock on the garage door and giggled the whole time. What seemed like an eternity was only 3 minutes and she unlocked it. We spent quite some time in time out for it and hopefully it doesn't happen again. She seems remorseful at times and then two seconds later her attention is diverted to something else. Jesse was crying in the car earlier this morning and she told him, "Don't cry buddy, Daddy is at work." She cracks me up. She loves surprises of the littlest kind and especially loves spending time with her daddy. She is very literal right now. She crawled in bed the other morning and got centimeters from Jared's face and said, "Daddy wake up, It's me Addison King." Anywho, she is a trip and we are loving our newest addition. We will surely keep you folks posted and enjoy!
