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!

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...

Eye to Eye

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to know that Matt & I don't always agree on everything. For example, I think Matt should appreciate what a bargain shopper I am. Matt doesn't think I should shop. Clearly, someone's mistaken. But when it comes to parenting we really have been in agreement on every issue (yes, I know it's only been 6 months) but one...Diapers. Now before you think to yourself "I wonder if they're using cloth diapers?" let me just tell you that we completely agree that money should never be saved on 3 items. Toilet Paper. Paper Towels. And you guessed it, Diapers. So what's problem? It's the size of the diaper. If it was up to Matt, Adelyn would still be wearing the newborn size. (I think he's in denial about the fact that she's actually grown since being born). I however, the head diaper changer, fully understand the importance of a well fit diaper. In Matt's defense, he has never actually changed a blow-...

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...
