So I figured an update to the blog was in order since I have a few minutes today. Unfortunately, I have no pictures because I am unable to find my camera!! To be quite honest I haven't really even taken the time to look for it because I have been too busy.

Addison is doing great! She is smiling and cooing up a storm now. She will be 6 weeks on Thursday. It seems like Addison is right on track as far as development goes. I would say that she is growing in leaps and bounds but according to my mom, every mom thinks that and what she is doing is normal for the stage she is in. What a party pooper my mom is. The funny thing is that if Addison had her way, she would be walking and talking right this minute. She loves to have any kind of attention that she can get. She will coo and smile and blow bubbles at you to her heart's content. It is SO adorable. Also, Addison has rediscovered her baby swing. She loves it. I feel kind of like a bad mother sometimes because it is so convenient to just put her in her swing and get stuff done. I feel like I'm not paying enough attention to her. I know she is getting enough attention though because she is eating 10+ times a day so I make sure to give her extra love and attention during those times. She is down to taking just 2 to 3 bottles a day unless we are out somewhere. That is GREAT news.

As for me, I am back on the job hunting train. I have applied for a TON of jobs and I am hoping to find a job from one of them. We shall see. Also, I am feverishly working on my online class. It has become top priority now that Ralph is home from school. I am able to focus on it now because he is available to take care of the baby. It is nice to get a small break from being a mommy all the time and it has really given Ralph more confidence in his skills as a Daddy. I must confess too that it has given me more confidence in his skills as a Daddy too. Sad, I know.

As for Ralph he is keeping busy as best he can. He just finished spring term at Chemeketa Community College and is off for the summer. He is just waiting until he gets his work permit and/or his residency so he can get a job also. His number one priority is Addison right now, as I have said, but he is also keeping busy with the gardening around our house. He will spend hours working outside (even if it's pouring rain) just working away. We should have some good veggies this fall. Too bad I won't eat any of it...lol. I am not a big veggie fan.

On another note, this Saturday is our 1 year anniversary! I am very excited to get this mark behind us. They always say the first year is the roughest and I believe it! We have plans to go to Multnomah Falls if the weather is decent and to explore up in that area. Of course we will have our party crasher, Addison, with us but that is alright. We will be building memories. Anyways, more about that later.

That's it for now. HOPEFULLY I can find my camera soon. I especially need to find it before Saturday...
