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!
