Settling in

As you can imagine, things are busy busy busy around the Sander Home.  I have some exciting news to share.  I casually mentioned in a post earlier that Mommy and Daddy had purchased a new lot to build our new home.  Well, I wanted to make the official announcement, WE'RE BUILDING!  I kept complaining to mommy and daddy that Addie and I didn't want to go upstairs to our bedrooms and that we wanted all of our toys on the same floor so they finally gave in.  We hope to break ground at the beginning of July and will hopefully move in before the new year.  How exciting!

Now you may be asking yourself, where?  Well, mommy and daddy aren't too adventurous so we are building approximately 6 minutes from where we live now, it's probably only 1/2 a mile as the crow flies and it's caddy corner from Nonna and Papa's house.  With Papa being retired, I can't wait for Addie and I to fill his free time with tea parties and princess parties.

Addie had her first doctor's appointment yesterday.  When she left the hospital she was 6lbs 8oz and she weighed in yesterday at 6lbs 13oz.  She's already starting to gain some of her weight back, YAY!  And, they re-measured her because they thought she looked longer than 19.5" and they measured her at 20".  Not that big of a difference but every 1/2" matters on the volleyball court.  :)  And, her bilirubin levels were in the normal range so no crazy alien baby for Addie, WOOT!

Here are some pictures and videos since last time I posted.  Mommy is still trying to get a picture of Addie and me together, but I'm really squirmy and not exactly gentle with the baby.  I just want to touch her eyes, just once!  :)

 Just like me, Addie got an Ice Cream cake from Aunt Emily, she however, looks HUGE relative to the cake where I looked tiny!  Go Addie!
