Welcome to the world!

Hi everyone!!

I've finally made it here, and just in time for tax breaks and bowl games! My name is Addyson Wing Whipple.


After being squished by contractions that started at 8:00 am Saturday morning, I managed to make my way out by 5:48 am the following morning, December 30, 2007! My mom is fine and we came home yesterday afternoon. I weigh 7 pounds, 8.6 ounces and am 20.5 inches long and everything else is fine with me.



I've been spending the past couple days just sleeping and enjoying my family. In fact, I'd rather sleep than eat, which seems to bug my Mom a bit, but I don't mind much. I've already figured out that though they may be bigger than I am, I can pretty much make them do whatever I want, which is cool for me. In fact, I've worked out this neat system where I squeak and the big gray-haired one picks me up, changes my diaper, burps me, gets me new clothes, swaddles me, rocks me, pats me, and gets me to Mom to get food! This is going to be fun! He even seems to be getting the hang of this whole swaddling thing, which I enjoy breaking out of as quickly as possible!



Everyone seems to really love me around here. I think I'll enjoy it. I'll try to get my Dad to keep this web site current so you can see what I'm up to.

Since this is the first update that he's done in a while, I also cried until he mentioned that Aunt Melissa and Uncle Andy had my cousin, Lia Beth Moore, just a few days ago (December 21). I can't wait to see her so we can swap parental control methods!

Bye for now, Addyson

Amy & Matt - Wow...what a way to spend New Year's, huh? Congratulations on such an adorable little girl (ahem, Mike and I will have to get her a new outfit...)! And, Matt, don't worry...we never, ever figured out how to swaddle Kate in the year of her existence. You better believe that is what the Swaddle-Me is for. We used ours for the first 7 months!
