Three Months Old!!

Adelyn is now three months old. Where did the time go? She's discovered her hands and just glanced at her feet last night. She's still really verbal, which is fun!

We are now preparing for both her baptism and her three-month photos. My mom and I (mostly my mom) finished the baptismal gown. We tore apart my wedding gown and reconstructed it for Addie. It has the same beading on the front skirt as my wedding dress. It's a bit big, but it will do the trick. I will be sure to post photos after Adelyn's baptism on May 17th.

As far as Addie's three-month photos...the dress has been a bit more difficult. I always thought finding dresses for babies would be easy. Aren't new moms the easiest target market? Well, I found out while looking for an Easter dress that the baby designers cater to the one-year plus crowd. So, for Easter Addie wore a dress that was a bit too small that she had received as a gift before she was born. I am determined to find her a new dress for her photos. I've found two. One is the white one with stripes in the photo above. It's a bit casual, but it might work. I have another that is a bit frillier, but it might be too big. We shall see.

Not much else is happening. Adelyn is still full of smiles and giggles. She has started going to bed around 8:30, which has opened up a whole new world of productivity for Mark and I! Who knew that such a bad sleeper in the beginning could turn into a three-month-old that sleeps from 8:30 to 7am?! I love it!

Twelve Weeks Today!

It has been quite some time since I've posted. You can tell that I'm back to work full time again. It has been interesting trying to balance Adelyn and work, but I'm thankful for my flexible schedule so she and I can spend mornings together.

Addie has gotten on a good routine. She's still eating every three hours throughout the day, generally takes a good morning and afternoon nap, and is basically sleeping 10pm to 6am. It has been a dream! Thank God for Colic Calm and white noise!

It's amazing to watch her develop day by day. She has continued to grow like crazy, mostly in the cheeks. She is also verbalizing and enjoys having conversations. She giggles, she plays well on her gym mat, batting at all the dangling toys. She continues to love to watch light, and has started watching other kids. We visited some friends of ours, the Vegas family, with two girls ages 4 1/2 and almost 2. They liked Addie and Addie enjoyed watching them and listening to them. We didn't have to calm her all night, which is amazing because it's generally her crabbier time. She just liked all the action.

Everyone always says, enjoy every minute because it goes so fast. I just can't believe it! It seems like yesterday we started the journey of trying to conceive followed by the devastation of infertility. Now, here I sit, with a beautiful baby girl who is twelve weeks old! We just love her so much and are thankful every day! God has really been watching out for us!
