Adelyn's Updates

I have been horrible about Adelyn's monthly photos and updates...so here we go... :)

We are almost at 7 months. Ahhhh mama is about to cry thinking of how far you've come since the day in the hospital when I first held you.

I just went through your clothes AGAIN today to pack away some of your clothes that are too small and it's crazy thinking of how fast you are growing.

Life Highlights:

~6 month check up you received all of your normal immunizations. Nana went with us because daddy wasn't able to get away from work that day. After your shots you held your breath soooo long before you cried out this huge cry. :( Made me so sad. You weighed right at 16lbs (50%) and were 24 1/2 inches long (75%), head 16 1/2 (:)) taking after your dad. The doctor said you looked great and just advised us to start baby proofing the house. :)

~speaking of baby proofing, you are starting to get mobile. you are so funny. you now only want to be on the floor because you know now that you can kinda move around. you push up on your arms and knees and push backwards. you can't crawl or move forward yet. you roll everywhere you want to go (normally towards me or daddy)

~you always want us to hold your hands now so that you can stand.

~you get super excited about the hot dog song on mickey mouse clubhouse

~you have made it through the nursery at church. the first time you did great and fell asleep in the stroller. last sunday you didn't like it too much. they said you cried the whole time and had a hard time falling asleep. :( not sure how to remedy this.

~when we are in public everyone comments on your beautiful blue eyes and your lips. :)

~whenever you are riding in your car seat you cross your little ankles... it makes me smile every time I see it.

~when we are riding in the car you make sounds like you are singing.

~you still love stroller rides through the neighborhood

~I started sitting you in the shopping cart this week with one of the cart covers and we don't have it down yet. you seem to feel more free and get frustrated when I don't pick you up. if I am holding a drink with a straw you can forget it. :)

~size 3 diapers, you poop all the time (hehe) slowed down a while with solids but now it is ummm enough :)

~you nurse 7am, 11am, 3pm, then after dinner/before bed around 8

~you eat cereal, veggies, fruit at 7am, 11am, 6pm

~sleep 9 or 10pm to 7am, 2 or 3 naps during the day

~you love veggies, HATE bananas, LOVE apples and blueberries

~you can hold your sippy cup pretty well we put a few sips of water in there at a time. you are always interested in whatever anyone is drinking

~you smile ALL OF THE TIME. you really bring us so much joy.

~just this morning I think you really recognized "dada" to be Daniel... so sweet.

We love you miss Adelicious.
