4 weeks old

I can't hardly believe that Addilyn is 4 weeks old today! She has already changed and grown so much! The past week she has decided that she really likes to be held and has started to cry more when put down. It has made it a more difficult week for me as Kinsley decided that she wants to be potty trained! It's a little hard to hold an infant and help a toddler go to the bathroom, but I'm making it work so far! I may be calling in the reinforcements soon! Addilyn is sleeping good at night and usually gets up twice per night, but typically goes right back to sleep after eating! She seems like she's gaining weight and is even starting to get fat rolls (so cute!)! She also really likes her pacifier, but we've caught her sucking her thumb too! Today was hot out (in the 80's) and the girls wore matching dresses! Kinsley was so excited to match Addilyn and talked to me about it several times today! Here's pictures from today...

Introducing...

Addilyn Gail Johnston!!! She joined our family March 26th at 8:26pm! She was 6 lb. 6oz. and was 18 1/2 in. long! We couldn't hardly believe that she was even a day early! Last Thursday (March 26th) I started to have contractions at 12:45pm and had strong contractions all afternoon. Around 6:30pm we decided to leave for the hospital...and that was a very smart decision! Little did we know that our girl was coming quick! We arrived at the hospital around 7:00pm and it took them a long time to get us into a room. About 7:30pm we were finally into a room and Addilyn was born less than a hour later!!! It all happened so fast, but it was perfect and we couldn't have asked for any better labor and delivery! So far she has been a very good baby and has even been sleeping good at night!!! We feel so blessed to have our second daughter here look forward to all our family and friends meeting her!! Here are some pictures of our sweet Addilyn!
