First Camping Trip

This weekend Adele went on her first camping trip. We headed an hour away to General Butler State Park and met Jon, Jamie, the dogs, and "Rusty", their new 1979 RV with orange shag carpet. She enjoyed hiking and looking up at all the trees and that night was completely mesmerized by the campfire. The weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot, not too cold :)

Adele's Baptism

On Sat, Sept. 18th, Adele was baptized at Our Lady of Lourdes. She did great and we were so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family. Afterwards, the party spread to Mom and Dad's and we had a perfect night to eat and drink al fresco

4 Months

It's been a busy month and haven't had much time to post due to our robbery early this month, and the thieves taking our camera's and laptops. All have been replaced now, and the Iphone helped out while we were camera less. Miss Adele is up to around 15 lbs now. Getting bigger and having more of a personality everyday. Daycare is going good. A little boy named Carter held her hand when I picked her up last week. Also had my first case of pinkeye! She loves standing and bouncing in her excisaucer. She rolled from her back to stomach on the bed (with a slight dip). We set up the high chair and will probably try some rice cereal sometime this week. Hopefully that will also help her sleep longer at night. Spent Labor Day Weekend playing with Avery and we went to the International Festival and the zoo!

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.
