A little behind...

Well it's been almost a month since we last posted. While not much happens in a month for boring old adult life, with Addie, it's a whole 'nother story!!! She is getting to be so much fun. In fact, Uncle Andrew--who is NOT a little baby person (he refers to Adeline as the worm) was overheard saying, "She is actually kind of enjoyable to be around now." Addie smiles at everyone, even admiring strangers at the grocery store. She's discovered her toys and has become somewhat good at entertaining herself.Samson's become much more careful around her when she's on the ground and the two can often be found lying close together keeping each other company. Addie is a little chatter box and loves to talk and laugh with Mom and Dad. John is already worried about the distractions she's going to cause him when he should be studying because she is just so fun to be around!

We finished our move the Charlottesville, VA and John is nervously anticipating the beginning of school! More on that to come :)

Smells so sweet

Our happy Adeline!

Look what I can do!

Sweet Baby Girl is learning new things everyday! She is super nosey, always looking around trying to figure out what's going on and who's talking. This week she has been getting so strong holding up her little body. She also discovered her feet! Her personality has really been shinning as she holds on to and grabs everything, smiles ALL the time, and is even starting to laugh on a daily basis. Adeline really is such a doll :)

Suppose to be napping with CiCi. Look how big she's getting!

Summer Fun

The summer is flying by quickly and Addie girl changes every day. As a 3 1/2 month old she is talking, holding her head up, playing with her hands and sometimes feet, and even laughing occasionally (okay, only like 3 times). She is still a bit underweight because of her acid reflux, so this week we have begun supplementing feeding time with formula. While this tends to make her poops stinkier and her spit up stain, we want our baby girl to gain the weight necessary to keep her healthy. She also started on baby Prilosec to calm her tummy down and we have seen a happier baby already! We have all enjoyed spending time relaxing with her this summer. Adeline has so many people who love her and will miss her to pieces when we move to Virginia in just a few weeks!

Big girl holding her head up all by herself! We broke out the bumbo seat and she loves it.

Relaxing at home. Doesn't she look just like her Daddy in this one??

Hanging out at the pool with cousin Emma. This time she actually liked the water!

Fourth of July

Emma liked the fireworks!

Addie could care less....she slept through the entire show!

Daddy's girl

John and I cannot believe we have a 3 month old! How has it already been 1/4 of a year that we have had this sweet little addition to our family?? Wellit's probably quite obvious from my many blogs and facebook posts that I sure love this little stinker. But John's a little more reserved with expressing his feelings, so I'll do it for him.. He LOVES being a daddy!

In the mornings you can find him pressing the snooze button a few times so he can spend "just 5 more minutes" snuggling up with his baby girl. He loves the big smiles she gives him before he leaves for work each day. After he gets home from a long day he usually goes straight for Addie, even when she's crying. As they spend more time together, John figures out just what she likes and how he can make her laugh or calm her down when she's upset. He even changes poopy diapers--what a man! Adeline sure loves her Daddy!

Daddy's father day present, locket cuff links so he can always have his loved ones with him!

School's out for the summer!

School is finally out and Addie has already gotten a head start bringing on the summer fun! She has been up to all kinds of activities like swimming, going on family walks, watching her Uncle Shayne play ball and much more! Adeline is very alert and loves interacting with others. She's awake much more often and we all enjoy her lots. Momma is so excited to spend more time with this sweet girl!!!

Her first swim with Johanna, Carson, and Savannah

She thought the water was still a little cold for her liking!

Adeline's first family crawfish boil! These guys were flown in all the way from New Orleans to celebrate Uncle Frankie's birthday!! It was John's first crawfish boil too, he ate until his lips burned. Too spicy for Addie girl, maybe next year.

Becca taught John how the real tough guys suck the heads!

To top it all off, Addie went to her very first major league baseball game! She watched the Washington Nationals defeat the Baltimore Orioles. She was such a good girl and didn't even mind the noise and the crowds even though it was a little past her bedtime. One of the workers gave her a first game certificate and Nationals pin to save for when she gets a bit older!

We are looking forward to lots more fun in the sun this summer with our sweet angel girl!

Tonight's entertainment

Our little girl is changing every day! She has been much more generous with her smiles, giving friends and family glimpses of her precious grins. Not only is she smiling more, but she's also started to try to giggle! She isn't quite there yet, but boy, almost never sounded so sweet. She's been talking up a storm and using her hands like crazy. At home we no longer watch tv, instead we watch Adeline :)
