2 Month Recap

Adalyn,

  I have never wanted to pause life more than I do right now!

  I can't believe you are almost 5 months old and I am just now getting to your 2 month post!!!

  You reach new milestones each day- some small and some big- and I don't want to forget any of them.

  We love you more and more each day, and with each day that passes you get more and more "fun".

  You truly light up our world and we are so so thankful for you!

You got your first set of shots and it was the saddest thing ever.

For both of us. 

I even had tears in my eyes, which I totally didn't expect!

You were a trooper though, took a nice nap and woke up a happy girl!

We dedicated you to the Lord.

We are so honored that the Lord chose us to be your mommy and daddy.

It is a big responsibility and we gladly give back to God what he so graciously blessed us with!

We are thankful for prayer, the Bible, friends and family to support us, keep us accountable and guide us as we do our best to raise you to be the best you can be for Jesus!

You are doing well on Similac Sensitive.

You eat about 5 ounces every 3-4 hours.

And you are packing on the sweet little rolls.


You sleep through the night and just wake a few times for your paci.
You go to sleep after your bath and bottle around 9:30/10.
You love love love tubby time.

And you wake for another bottle around 5:30/6.
You take that bottle in bed with mommy and sleep until 9 or 10.

You are always the happiest girl in the mornings.

You became a lot more alert and were smiling away at your doll.
You've seen this doll many times before, but this night she was the most exciting thing for you.

And two days later you discovered Gia in your room.
Again, she has been there the whole time but you just noticed her..

 

and loved her!
You love to stand- your legs are really strong.
You've also noticed your hands and try so hard to get them into your mouth

1.31.12
You used the exersaucer for the first time and did great!

You didn't last too long, but you did enjoy it.
We got you a special pillow to help support you and you thought it was the comfiest thing!

You are wearing mostly 3-6 and even a few 6 months.

Nana bought you a cute outfit for Valentine's that was size 6 months....

And too small!
The buttons unsnapped every time you moved your legs.
It was pretty funny!




The winter weather has been so "warm" we've been taking a few walks outside!

You love to smile

You love to sleep

You take 3-4 hour naps in your swing in the morning and the afternoon.


You spend every day with mommy, but we got to go on a special date to Rachel's bridal shower.

2.19.12
Your first time sitting like a big girl in the highchair

We got ready for your first trip to Colorado and you helped mommy pack to move to our new place

You are typically a very happy baby, and although you can't tell in the pictures- this month was actually our hardest with you!

There were days when you would randomly start screaming bloody murder and we could not figure out why.
You seemed to be showing some signs of separation anxiety even though it was a bit early.
I left you at the farm with Mimi to get a manicure and pedicure with my friend and you screamed almost the whole time. 
It was so not like you!
Then it became more than that, you would go to sleep and wake up around midnight screaming in pain.
I think you had acid reflux for about a week??
I took you to the Dr., before we left for vacation, to see if you had an ear infection..but you were healthy!
Thankfully this phase only last about two weeks though!


We were so thankful you returned to your normal self.
It was really sad to see you in pain and not know why or what to do.


We love you so so much. 
You are growing up way too fast.
