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. ; )
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...
