"The Chair"

Dorian can now get on the furniture around the house. She no longer is interested in any toy that we have bought her and no toy will keep her attention anymore. Getting up and down off of the chairs is fun enough for her! She honestly could do this all day if we let her!

She makes me so nervous with all of the new things that she is learning, but I guess that is a part of being a mommy and the start of her getting older! If she can't do something she will sit there and do it over and over again until she gets it right and can do it perfectly. It took three straight days of trying to get on the couch...but eventually she did it all by herself. She is a persistent little thing! ha ha ha But I guess that will be a great thing to have somewhere down the road...

So here is to the next blog of something new that She has mastered in her year and 2 months of life! ha ha ha :)

Trying To Adjust

Dorian is continuing to adjust to the new changes in our house of four.

She MUST know where her sister is at all times!

She does NOT like to share her chair or her swing with her sister!

She absolutely does NOT like to share her mommy and daddy!

and

She has become overly sensitive to EVERYTHING!!!

But yet she is interested in her, and wants to be around her as much as possible...even though we forget she is there sometimes (can't remember everything!).

She really does think Addy is her doll and has tried to pick her up...hahaha

She is learning the difference between nice and bad touches...so she doesn't poke Addy's eyes out ha ha ha

All in all...we are learning well and need a lot more time to fully get used to the new edition!








Addy A's First Week

Addeline Anne Putnam

Addeline was born on September 5th at 4:01 pm. She was 19.5 inches long and weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces!! She is sooo Tiny!!!

I only stayed in the hospital for 24 hours but our stay was memorable!! Addy was born on the bathroom floor because she came so quickly there was no time for me to get into a bed for a normal delivery!!! She came within two pushes, yay!!! Addy was a little bruised up because of how quickly she came but within 24 hours she is as beautiful as they come!

If you compare Dorian and Addy's pictures from their first days out they are completely different. Dorian didn't have any hair at all, and really is JUST now getting hair at a year old, and Addy has a huge head of hair. AND it is brown!!! Dorian was huge and Addy is very slender. Dorain took over 28 hours to come into this world, and Addy only took two pushes and an extra hour of labor! Totally two different babies...you would never suspect they are sisters! Very interesting!!

During our stay our very good friends (who kept Dorian overnight for us) brought Dorian up to visit! She ran around the room for a couple of hours and really doesn't get who Addy is yet. She isn't jealous and she isn't obsessed. She is in her own little world of exploring and playing right now. Later down the road she will be more interested but as for now we are just going with the flow. The hospital brought us a fancy breakfast with flowers and fancy gourmet decorations...it was super yummy! And at 4pm today we were allowed to come home!

So as of right now we are relaxing with our new baby girl and Dorian is in bed...and tomorrow is another fun filled, stressed out, exciting/exhausting day! I will post more pictures later...we have tons..I'm just really tired and am going to bed now! ha ha ha More of Addeline to come..PROMISE!
