Pumpkin Carving!

Tonight we carved Adilynne's first pumpkin. 

 Adilynne can sit in her Bumbo chair now!

She didn't like sitting in the pumpkin.  Can't blame her!

3 Months Old

    Adilynne is 3 months old!  She is getting so big and learning so much.  I love to watch her as she watches different things closely and tries to figure out what is going on.  She smiles so much now.  It brightens my day to see her smile and be happy.  She is also starting to talk quite a bit to us.  We can sit down on the floor with her and have a "conversation" with her.  She is getting stronger and can hold her head up good by herself now. 

Good Morning!

     Last week I walked into Adilynne's room in the morning and this is how I found her.  It made me laugh!

She likes to sleep in a Swaddle blanket then I put two blankets over her.  She managed to wiggle one arm out of the Swaddle blanket and got her other shoulder out of her pajamas.

"GOOD MORNING MOM!!!"

Jazz Game!

     Saturday night David and I were able to go to a pre-season Jazz game.  A few weeks ago, David's work did a job for the Jazz and instead of being paid, they traded for tickets.  Everyone in the Ogden branch got 2 free Jazz tickets.  They were good seats too...row 25!  We were really excited to go but as the day got closer we starting having a hard time when we thought about leaving Adilynne for a few hours.  We decided it would be good to get out and do something fun so David's mom watched Adilynne for us.  Before we dropped Adilynne off at Grandma's, we ran some errands and went out to eat.  Adilynne was great at the restaurant and just slept peacefully.  After dinner we dropped Adilynne off and headed to the Front Runner station.  We got to the game and after about five minutes we looked at each other and said, "Let's go home!"  We stayed for the whole game but we realized how much our little Adi really has changed our lives.  Instead of being out on a hot date we would rather be home playing with the baby.  Here are the two pictures we took while at the game.

 

Adilynne's Blessing Day

     On Sunday, October 14, 2012 Adilynne was blessed by David.  What a busy day!  I'm glad our church wasn't until 1:00.  It would have been really rough if we would have had the 9:00 time.  We left our house at about 12:35 to go over to the church and save some benches.  I had decided that I would feed Adilynne a bottle when we got there and get her changed into her dress, all before the meeting started at 1:00.  She usually finishes her bottle in about 15-20 minutes but of course, since we needed to hurry, she was eating slow slow slow!  Five minutes before the meeting started I decided we better get her in her dress and then let her finish her bottle.  Even though she had only eaten half of her bottle she was happy.  We were hoping she would stay that way during her blessing but that didn't happen.  As soon as I handed her to David she started crying.  David took her binkie with him but put it in his pocket!  I don't know why he didn't just put it in her mouth since she was already crying.  David had a hard time concentrating during the blessing with Adilynne crying and screaming but he did a great job.  After the meeting our families came over to our house for a little get-to-together.  It was fun to visit with everyone.

BEAUTIFUL!

2 Months Old

     On Friday Adilynne turned 2 months old.  The time is flying by!  Today I took her to her 2 month appointment.  She did really good, even with the shots.  This evening she had a small fever and I think she was kind of sore from all the shots so I gave her a little Tylenol and after a half hour or so and a full belly she was feeling much better.  She is 10 pounds 14.5 ounces and 23.5 inches long.  The doctor asked me if she was sleeping for at least 4-5 straight hours at night and was very surprised when I told him she sleeps for 11-12 hours each night.  He told me I was a very lucky parent for having such a young baby sleeping that long!

Getting so big!

 LOVE HER!

 So strong

 She loves to sit up and be able to see what is going on.

 Oops!  This is how she looks most of the time in her carseat at church.  She wiggles so much that her bow falls down and covers her eyes. 

 Smiling before church.  She is starting to smile more and more and it is a lot easier to get her to smile at us now.  I love walking in her bedroom in the morning and seeing her smile big and play with me.

  We went to the park for a walk a few evenings ago and it was a little chilly so I put this jacket on her.  Gangster! She didn't like it too much but I thought it was pretty cute.

Growing Up

     My little girl is growing up so fast.  The past week and a half has been full of milestones for her.

• Last Wednesday she held her head up nice and big for several seconds while she was doing tummy time. 
• Last Friday night-Saturday morning, she slept through the night!  10:30 pm-6:00 am.  The past three nights she has slept until 7:00 or 7:30 am.  It is wonderful to get a full nights sleep!
• Last Friday she also rolled over all by herself from her tummy to her back.  We couldn't believe she would be rolling over this early but she did it for us 3 times and continues to do it every once in a while for us now (mostly when she's mad).
• On Mondy she gave us a great big smile.  She was laying in her crib after nap time and I went in to get her and she gave me a big grin.  It melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes.  I love seeing her big toothless grin.  

This is the best picture I have been able to get of her smiling so far.  She seems to be a little camera shy. 
• Yesterday we used the last of her Newborn diapers.  It was kind of sad to throw the last one away and put on a size 1.  
• The past few days she has become so alert.  As we walk around the room when she is laying on the floor she turns her head and watches us and turns her head to look for sounds.  She is getting so fun to watch and play with.  

     I'm so glad I get to stay home and see her learn all these new things.  Being a mom is the BEST!
