Pretty in Pink

Addy has had a great week. She is a petite 9 pounds, 2 ounces at 6 weeks old. She has been a dream sleeper this week, going down without any crying each night for Dad, and even sleeping from 11 PM to 5:30 AM one night without waking for her middle of the night feeding. She is growing out of many of her newborn clothes, and starting to fit into some really cute outfits, like her overalls above.
Every morning begins with about 10 minutes of smiling and some really entertaining stretching exercises that she does. Mom and Dad are hooked on watching Season One and Two of Grey's Anatomy, a show that Caroline got us into when she was here. We have been trying to catch up to the current season at night as a way to unwind.
Family Date night tonight to a local Pizza joint that we both love. Hoping Addy sleeps through dinner for us.
Spring Has Sprung! (Its under the snow, but its there)

Something to Smile About
We had an exciting weekend in the Ritner home. Dad got to preach at the Chapel on Sunday for all three services. (You can download Jon's sermon as an MP3 here.) But more importantly, Addy is now old enough to be able to go in the nursery, so Mom was able to come to church herself. Then we left Addy with the McKinnons and had a great date night at the new Tropical Smoothie restaurant in town and really enjoyed seeing Failure to Launch.

Here is Addy after she heard that her Dad mentioned her in the sermon.

I Wonder Where She Gets it From
For two weeks we have been laughing at how Addy contorts her body when she sleeps into a ball. It never looks comfortable, but it seems to be her default sleep position, since she won't sleep on her back. Well today, Dad caught Mom and Addy taking naps together and tell me if you don't see the resemblance.

The End is Near
Jon and a couple of friends are working on another blog, since parenting obviously isn't time consuming enough. Check out This Week's Sign that the Apocalypse is Upon Us at http://plague8.blogspot.com/

Ear Muffs, Addy, Ear Muffs

Mom and Dad had their first disagreement about Addy's continual eye gunk problem. Mom was sure it was normal, Dad thought it was a clogged eye duct, and since this blog is written by Dad, you already know who was right. Turns out she has a clogged duct and some other form of ___- tivitis (not conjunctivitis, but some other thing like that) No big deal, a couple of eye drops a day makes it all go away.
Addy is up to 8 lbs 6 oz and growing more each day. She has turned into a great night sleeper, but doesn't like to settle down for more than 30 minutes between day feedings, making Mom a little nervous about going back to work from home soon. Dad is already getting ready for his sermon next Sunday at church, just in time for our move to 3 services. We will have to find a way to use Addison as an illustration of something.

Dad is busy working each night on his new part time job with Church Communication Network (www.CCN.tv) building the website www.leestrobel.com which will officially launch this Wednesday with over 25 video clips that I have selected and our team has edited and posted on the web. Bookmark it and check it out on Wednesday. I am now working on videos for upcoming websites in the works for Henry Cloud and John Townsend (authors of Boundaries) and John Maxwell.

Addison Ritner Boyer: +++ Addy sure to learn how to fire a shotgun and make crepes, Father in Law will build stellar wedding website, and Mother in Law can teach her the finer points of the scissor kick ---Marrying into a Redskins Family
Addison Ritner Lee: +++Long summer days for Addy with future grandparents in Virginia Beach, wedding guaranteed not to be held during a major sporting event, and Braden sure to have his parents great sense of humor ---Marrying into a Yankees Family
Addison Ritner Cook: +++Petey's pro sports paycheck will set Addy for life, endless hours of fun hearing GrandPapa Cook stories, a lifetime of trips to Hershey Park---Parents will never be able to agree on a church to hold the wedding...and marrying into an Eagles Family.
Well, I guess it's a toss up for now. We will see who has the gumption to ask her out first...
