A Day in the Life

Well, I know I say it every time, but I can not believe how quickly Adelyn is growing & changing! She is 51/2 months old and I feel like there are days when she changes between naps. One of the sweetest things she does now is give kisses. They're a little wet but I love them! It's not too exciting but a typical day for us looks a little like this... Sleeping. Adelyn is doing a great job of sleeping through the night again & I am so glad. We had about a month where she digressed and was getting up once a night to eat. For some reason those weeks were harder for me than when she was first born. I need sleep! She's also making the transition into being awake for longer between naps and then sleeping longer during naps. This morning she slept for 2 1/2 hrs. I don't know why but for some reason that morning nap is the most important of all.

Eating. Cereal is a new development. We're on the 4th day & Adelyn still doesn't get that you open your mouth & the spoon goes in. She's not really a fan of it but doesn't cry in protest or clamp her jaw shut either. So we'll keep trying.
Playing. Adelyn is so good at rolling & tummy time now. She is also obsessed with feet. Hers, mine, yours, it doesn't matter. All I have to do is wiggle my toes and she laughs. She loves to go for walks and has taken a sudden interest in other people. While David & Elaine were here we went to Downtown Disney one afternoon. Adelyn squealed in delight at getting to see so many people. She also squealed in delight as we walked into Bloomingdale's the other day. I was so proud. ; )

We do have some pretty exciting days too. Last week we got to see the Wildcats play in the SEC Tournament. Sadly, they lost but Adelyn still had fun at her first UK game. On Sunday we got to watch the Shuttle Launch with Uncle Ryan.

The Terrific Two's

Adelyn officially hit the 2 1/2 mark a couple of months ago and oh my, this kid is a mess! She is just so full of life, personality, words, thoughts, opinions, energy, did I mention words? There are days when I'm pretty sure she's trying to reach her 5,000+ words used for the day quota before lunch time and it wears me out! She is also the sweetest, smartest, funniest, most charming 2 year old in the whole world. (In my humble opinion as her mother of course.) Don't get me wrong, she is by no means perfect. The past couple of weeks she's been in rare form but we think the two's are far more terrific than terrible. She is very much into the details and notices everything. She sees those decorative ball things that go on car antennas everywhere. One day she saw a red Mickey Mouse head and told me the reason it's red is because his overalls are red. It's been so neat to hear her start to use logic and reason or give explanations. Adelyn is quite the tease an...

The Chinese Calendar

In less than a week we will find out if Baby Lilly #2 is a boy or a girl. We are excited, anxious, nervous, and can hardly wait! As I'm sure you know, there are countless wives tales people use to predict a baby's gender. My doctor predicted a boy based on the baby's heart rate and Matt's prediciting a girl because "the Lord knows what he needs." When I was pregnant with Adelyn women would tell me I was having a boy because of the way I was "carrying" (even though we already knew she was a girl) and recently I saw a pee on the stick gender predictor kit at Target. One of the more "reliable" gender predictors someone told me about is the Chinese Calendar.  It's based on the mother's lunar age and there are two different calendars to use. So, click on these links, see what it says about your child/children, and come back to vote in my polls (in the left column) about how accurate it was for you! Make sure you vote for each child if yo...

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."
