Happy Easter From Our Big Girl!!

Anyone that has been around babies very much realizes how much babies grow/change/develop in one year, but as a first time parent, it is amazing to me how our little one has changed since last Easter. We spent most of the day with my family, which includes my 8 week old neice. Adelyn seems like such a big girl now!

Adelyn and her dada!

Jazlyn with Jessica (her mommy)

God Bless my husband! Adelyn was a very fussy newborn - maybe it was colic, maybe she just wanted back in the womb. In any event, Seth walked Adelyn around in the position (above) for hours at a time. She loved being held like that. Poor Jazlyn was tired and a little fussy several times today. Seth put her in the "go to" position and she went right to sleep. Josh (Jazlyn's daddy) gave it a try to. She looks peaceful, huh?
Yes, Adelyn had 2 bows for Easter - a big fancy one for wearing at home for pictures (which we didn't get many of) and one for wearing to church. And, yes, I bought another Easter dress for Adelyn, but Grandma Pam bought these dresses for both of the girls and the dress she bought for Adelyn looked better with Jazlyn's dress than the one I bought for her. We'll use the other one during our next fashion show!

Grandma Pam likes to bring Adelyn goodies every time she comes over. In addition to "stuff" Adelyn has Grandma Pam trained to take off her rings and let Adelyn play with them. It's a funny habit they have.

In closing, it was really nice to spend the day with everyone. I love you all! Thanks for all the Easter goodies you brought for Adelyn. I'm sure you could tell that she loved it all!

She Likes Hats and Shoes... More Cute Pics - 2 Posts in One Day!

Adelyn loves this hat! She puts it on herself and will wear it for it for a long time.

She also loves to GO! She constant wants to go bye bye. She ran to the door the other day and said bye, bye, bye! Look how cute those little shoes are. Adelyn loves cute shoes!

Look at Mommy's little sailor!
She likes these shoes a lot. They look like they'd be uncomfortable, but she fussed everytime I tried to take them off.

This Girl is Never Still!

Adelyn likes to play in the street! Look at her running!
More running!
Making friends with a little girl statue on our deck.

Venturing out on her own. I was sure she'd roll down the hill, but she didn't!

Look at this great smile!

Give me your best smile

Adelyn has many "tricks"! She knows how to bark and moo and what animals make those sounds. She "helps" with the laundry. She is the best banana eater in the world. She turns off the TV if she's decided it is time to leave the room. I could go on and on. She's also started giving us this super happy grin on command. If we tell her to give us her best smile, she gives us one of these... It cracks us up everytime!

Our Sweetie Likes to Pretend

I think I forgot to post about how Adelyn gets a purse on her shoulder, walks to the door and waves bye to Seth and I, but here are some pics of her pretending with her kitchen stuff. She likes to stir it up and then taste! She'll even give Seth and I a taste if we ask her to.

Here she is "stirring it up!"

She pulled her bow off, and she was trying to put it back on. Adelyn got this outfit for Christmas from Grandma Debbie. It was huge on her at first, but she's finally putting on some weight and it is fitting pretty good now!

I love my little sweetie, but boy does she know how to throw a fit... She throws her head back and everything.

Remember when this girl wanted nothing to do with a pacifier?? At her 6 month pediatrician appointment, the doc suggested we use a pacifier to get her to sleep through the night. We started offering it to her, and she decided that she'd keep it!

Some snow fun!

Adelyn had one 2 pairs of pants, 1 long sleeve shirt, 1 hoodie, 1 winter hat, 1 winter coat, 2 pairs of socks, shoes and mittens! She's such a little trooper - we have an upward sloping driveway that she loves to climb. Even when it was wet and slippery, she charged up it!

From 50 degrees and sunshine to 6" - 10" of snow!

I'm going to keep this blog on topic - as my mom would say, it's all about the princess! Here are a few pics last weekend when the weather was sunny and beautiful. Now we have a winter storm warning with predictions of a ton of snow! I'm ready for spring!

Adelyn wanted to put this piece of mulch in her mouth.

Please Pray For My Family

My grandmother (on my mom's side) passed away last night. Please keep my family in your prayers. Thank you.
