Catching Up

Whew! It has been a busy month...between a trip to the beach, her 6 month check up, growing, & flying to Kentucky, Adelyn has had a full schedule.
Our really big news is that she started crawling last week! She's getting faster every day & has already mangaged to pull over laundry baskets, eat our shoes, & find electrical cords. I love these two pictures because they show how sweet & curious she is. There are days that I laugh and think, this kid is all girl. But lately I'm not so sure. I feel like I've joined the wrestling team! It doesn't matter if she's eating, sleeping, being changed, or playing, she is constantly moving. It makes me feel really bad for the mother's of boys because I hear that they use 50% more energy than girls do. I can't imagine!
A few weeks ago we went down to the beach with my mom, dad & Aunt Corrie. We had a great time & enjoyed being able to get away to relax. Adelyn could have cared less about the sand but she really studied the water. It was still too cold for her to get in though.

Last weekend we flew to Kentucky for Uncle Ryan's graduation. Adelyn did great on the flight & confirmed our decision to never drive again! A whisk, broken pair of sunglasses, and cheerios were our secret weapons for keeping her busy. We had lots of fun with everybody & would like for you to note that the girls are taking over this all boy family! ; ) We're looking forward to seeing everyone again next month at Uncle Ryan & Aunt Lauren's wedding.

We also celebrated Mother's Day while we were in Lexington. Matt was so sweet to surprise me with a beautiful ring! I love being a mom and have really enjoyed the past 7 months a lot more than I was expecting too. I feel so blessed and grateful that I am able to stay home with Adelyn & that God chose me to be her mommy. She is a such a sweet girl and joy to be around. It was a very special day!

Well, all that really is enough to wear a girl out! We've decided to rest up and take some extra naps before we do it all over again starting next weekend with another trip to the beach!

Are you ready for this?

Monday was a very exciting day at our house. I celebrated turnig 29 (Yikes! I'm getting old) and we had a fetal echocardiogram to check on Baby Lilly #2. We didn't get any great shots because once again this little baby had their hand right next to their face. A very comfy position apparently. I'm happy to report that my birthday this year was a million times better than last year  and Baby Lilly's heart looks great! But that's not what you want to know now is it. Nope, you want to know what our name list looks like...So far Matt has suggested Jelaine  and Lapchild (for traveling purposes) and Adelyn has suggested Adelyn, Susie, Martha (if it's a boy), and Baby Scruffa Muffin. Still not what you're looking for? Hmm, how about that Baby Lilly #2 is a... BOY!!! And while we are so not ready for a boy and a little shocked we're really exicted too. Thanks to everyone who voted, commented or left me messages on facebook about the Chinese Calendar. Both i...

"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."

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9
