Bed Time Stories & New Tricks


While at first glance it may just look like Matt is holding Adelyn while browsing Southern Living he is actually reading her a "bed time story." I know, her childhood is ruined. But she is very knowledgeable about the natural springs in FL that are great to visit.

We hit the 3 week mark today & Adelyn has several new tricks. She's been able to hold her head up for a couple of weeks now and turn it from side to side during tummy time. But the other night while I was burping her she held it up and looked around the room for about 3 minutes. She has also figured out how to use her legs (although she doesn't know it yet) by putting her feet on the changing pad and pushing back. As you can imagine, this makes changing her diaper a breeze. And yes, there is a voice inside my head saying "be afraid, be very afraid!"

Here are some more pictures from the week...

Thank goodness, someone gave us Pat the Sleepy Bunny. Now Adelyn doesn't have to read Southern Living anymore. I know this looks like a weird way to hold her, but it makes her stop crying which is our #1 goal of the evenings!

Aunt Corrie comes to visit!



Thanks for my big bunny Aunt Corrie!




Adelyn loves to look at the baby in the mirror!

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."

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...
