3 Months!

I turned the big 3 Months on Sunday. I'm continuing to grow, grow, grow. I like to smile and try to laugh a lot more, and am definitely more interested in playthings on my activity mat. Even started understanding peek a boo. Dad is still training me to be a great dancer, and I do a mean MC Hammer impression. I started Daycare this week and am doing great. I sleep well there and have lots of new friends to play with. My teachers think I'm adorable!

Boston Trip

Just got back from Adele's first trip to Boston and the Cape. We had a great time as usual and she got to meet SO many different family members. We ended up taking over 400 pictures, so these are only a small sample. She was a great traveler and slept almost through all the plane rides and slept the entire way to/from the Cape. She especially loved playing with her cousin Izzy and getting lots of good Grandma and Grandpa time in. It was amazing to see how she calmed down anytime she was around someone young when they were holding her. She got to wade in Great Pond which is where Dave learned to swim and we can't wait till next year when she's bigger and can do more swimming!

4th of July

On Sat we went to Ft.Mitchell, KY to celebrate with Andrea and her family and watch their town's parade from the front yard. We had a great time and she even got a stuffed polar bear from one of the floats. Sunday Jason and Casey came over for dinner and Adele was fascinated by the Sparklers. Even the neighbors loud fireworks didn't scare her.

2 Months Old

Hard to believe, but Adele is now a big 2 months old. She does continue to change everyday and like everyone says, its hard to believe how fast they grow up. She's definitely become less fussy and is more alert when awake. She learned this week how to stick out her tongue and is starting to "talk" (not a grunt and not a cry). Her biggest improvement is sleep time. Yesterday she slept a whole 7 hrs, and last night slept 6.5. She's also growing like a weed, and we're finally phasing out the newborn clothes. We've had a busy past week. Leah came down from St. Louis and spent some quality time with us, and the Hollidays spent the night late Thursday on their way to Cincinnati. She got to play with Matthew who is a few months older but double the size! Enjoy the pictures, and the video of her learning to stick out her tongue with Dave.

1st Roadtrip

This weekend we took our first road trip to Owensboro for the Fitzmaurice wedding with all our friends from Madisonville. Adele did well and slept most of the time in the car and was easily pacified with her bottle when she woke up. Before the wedding we stopped by Camp Pennyroyal where I spent several summers as a camp counselor. It was so nice to be back but we were roasting in the 98 degree heat! Adele was a good girl and slept through the ceremony, cried nonstop on the way to the reception, and calmed down again at the reception. She had a blast dancing with her dad to some black eyed peas and of course "billie jean". She still loves water as seen by the happy face in the bath picture, and last night Dad turned her bib backwards to make her into a superhero!

1 Month Checkup

Yesterday Adele had her 1 month checkup (although she's 5 1/2 wks). She gained 3 lbs and grew 1 inch so far! She's doing 1/2 rolls and does a good job pushing up on her arms and trying to crawl. Getting much more alert when she's awake and is trying to take everything in. Still is fussy at night but slowly getting better. Last night she even slept 4 hrs straight!

1 Month

Hard to believe, but Adele is already one month old. This week we've been busy. We've gone to our first Louisville Bats Baseball game, been on a lot of walks, and have been working on developing a double chin. Grandma and Grandpa even babysat last Friday so Mom and Dad could go out to dinner. Memorial Day we spent over at Uncle Drew and Aunt Kristin's with lots of family and good food. We also got a swing the other day which I seem to like most of the time. I still have't gotten in much of a schedule yet. Somedays I sleep well during day, not at night, and the next day will be the opposite. We got the vinyl wall clings from my aunts uppercase living company so I'm finally putting pictures of the nursery up.
