11.5 weeks, she's getting too big!!!

I LOVE this picture of Brian & Adalynn. He had propped her up between the couch cushions and when he looked at her she stared at him with such intent. She gives us this look a lot. She digs her chin in her chest and looks up at us, it's a heart melter. Brian talks to her all the time and she really loves it. She tries so hard to figure out what you are saying and has such expression in her eyebrows. She smiles so much now, and is so close to giggling. She sounds more like she is coughing, but will soon turn to laughing. I can't wait to hear a deep belly laugh.
She is so loved by her mommy and daddy!

She is enjoying all her stroller rides and actually likes the carseat now. Getting in the carseat doesn't always mean we have to get in the car anymore. I take her for stroller rides a lot now. The vibration puts her right to sleep, however, (just like when I stop at a red light) if the stroller stops moving...we wake up. She's my ambition to keep going and to not stop short!
She has had cradle cap really bad so I've been putting baby oil on her head and brushing her hair all the time. It is slowly going away, but it also takes out a little hair. Not that she has none to spare, but Brian calls it 'male pattern baldness' because it's on top of her head. Sad!

10 weeks

Hanging out in her beloved swing.
Peeking out of her blanket on the boat.
So here is our innocent daughter working her magic on daddy. She starts to get worked up and watch out. It's hilarious now, but when she's 25 it might not be! ;)
We stayed down on our boat for a few nights and she did really well. She is such a thinker...from day one. She'll just stare at something and all of a sudden fart really loud. It's great.

2 months already!

Happy girl, squeaky clean.
As you can see...she wasn't a happy girl!

Addy just turned two months on the 5th. I had to take her in to get four shots. Poor baby! She lay on the table not expecting to be stabbed four times, twice in each thigh. I couldn't watch and she screamed so loud. I felt horrible and she continued to scream all day. Thank goodness for that wonderful thing called Baby Tylenol.
Brian goes back to work Sep. 13th. Bummer! We have had such a great time during these past couple months together as a family. We are so blessed for him to have so much time off work for us to learn as much as possible about Addy. She is so close to laughing, I can tell she is trying. She still is so impressed with her new found voice, she coo's all day long. It's the cutest thing, I just stare at her all the time in ah of our little angel.

Eight weeks old already

Our baby girl is already 8 weeks old. I can't believe it! She is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced and we are so blessed God chose us to be her parents.

She has started to suck her thumb and sometimes it gages her. She still doesn't have control of her arms so she shoves it down her throat practically. Addy also talks all day long and will mimic our mouth movements. She coos, oohs and ahhs to us when she sees us.
We took her in the pool for the first time and she loved it. Her face doesn't look very happy, but she looks that way a lot. She's a deep thinker! :)

Brian is still on sabbatical and won't go back until September 13th. It's been so wonderful to have him home during this time. I am a lucky mommy!
