Thursday the 10th you took your first trip to Target. Auntie Jill was so proud.
Friday the 11th you had your first photo shoot! Newborn photos at 4 days old, the photographer had the patience of a saint. How she works with and "styles" newborns all day long, I have no idea. You did great up for almost an hour and a half until you pooped on your final set of the day. Whoops.
Sunday the 13th you took your first trip to Barnes & Noble. YES.
Sunday the 13th was also Mama's first Mother's Day! I was all prepared to give Daddy an out, considering we had only been home from the hospital for a few days and all, but he pulled out all the stops. He helped you create a homemade card with the outline of your hand (You even wrote on the inside, Addy girl! You're so talented.), took us to the Plaza to cruise through B&N, bought us a new scarf (a girl can never have too many), and with the assistance of sous chef Auntie Jill, cooked us a fancy dinner. Pretty great day.
Wednesday the 16th you received your first pieces of mail. Seeing something in the mail box with "Addy Sorensen" on it was kind of odd, but fun. :) I think that first day you received a request from the hospital foundation for your donation and your new SS card. Score! Let me know if you'd like to donate, ok?
Wednesday was also the first day that you decided you were ok with the option of eating directly from Mommy. Took you long enough, girlfriend. You must have finally gotten tired of the repeated attempts I put you through and gave up fighting. A friend of mine equated all the work I was doing to that of a Mom of twins or triplets. Spending time trying to get you to feed, spending time pumping, and spending time actually feeding you via bottle. I'm eager for you to get even better at eating with me and to knock one or two of those responsibilities off my (and Daddy's) list.
Other firsts you crossed off your list in the past week...your first "gas smiles" (Grandma P is CONVINCED that you have a dimple. We're working on the photographic proof.), your first diaper blow-out (you have since had at least one every day, oh the laundry!), and your first nap in your crib.
You have been sleeping (Ha! Hahahaa. Haha!) at night in the bassinet in our room and napping mostly downstairs in the swing or bouncy chair. The first time we put you down in your crib in the nursery, we laughed. You make the thing look enormous, child.
More firsts to come, little A. Can't wait.
