2 months old

Adelynn is now 2 months old and starting to have her own personality. She is full of smiles and knows who mom and dad are. I would say she is the happiest right in the morning. She just lays on her changing table and kicks and smiles. We went to our 2 month baby exam last Thursday and she is growing like a weed. She is now 13 lbs and 14 oz. She is almost 24 in long. The Dr. said that she is as big as a 5 month old. Seems very big, but in reality when she was born she was already as big as a one month old. She is proportioned throughout and right on schedule on the growth chart for her age since she was so big at birth. The picture shows her right as we were about to leave the house to go to the Dr, she was so happy that morning and full of smiles. If she would have only known that she would be getting 3 shots. It was so hard for me to take her to the first appt that involved her getting poked 3 times in the leg. I gave her some tylenol before we went. She screamed when the nurses gave her her vaccinations. I had a bottle all ready for her when her shots were done. I got her calmed down right away. We had heard of all the horror stories that she may be in a lot of pain after the shots. By suprise she was perfect after that and the shots didnt seem to bother her. Matt and I really lucked out with that.

Adelynn 7 Weeks

We took Adelynn to her first professional portrait sitting on Saturday at Portrait Innovations in Middleton. She cooperated for the most part. As the photographer had said it is not the easiest thing for a 7 week old baby. We had many pictures to chose from. It helped us out that many of the pictures didnt turn out due to her crying or simply not looking at the camera. We still had a hard time picking out the pictures. We will get her next pictures done when she is about 3 months old, those pictures should have a lot more smiles and facial expressions, we hope:) Here are a few pictures that were taken on Saturday. Our little girl is growing up so fast already!

One Month and Growing Like a Weed

Adelynn will be one month old tommorow and she is eating us out of house and home, which is good she is a healthy baby. Every day she looks a little bit bigger to me. She is also becoming much more aware of her surroundings. Dad was playing a little too rough last night and got puked on. That should teach him.

Addy's First Trip to the Zoo

Mommy is trying to enjoy the last few nice days of summer and took Adeylnn to the zoo for the first time yesterday. I am not sure if she even noticed the animals, but one thing is for sure she loves being outside and feeling the warmth from sun on her skin. Dad cannot wait to take her to the beach when she gets older.

The Intro

Addy, is nearly 4 weeks old now and mom and dad are starting to get used to this parenting stuff. She is growing like a weed, and the Dr told us at her last visit that she is in the top 90% for both height and weight (10lbs 7 oz), not suprising when seemingly all she does is eat. She is no longer in newborn diapers or clothing because she has gotten so big. She is sleeping well, almost through the night, though I know mommy is being run ragged by her unwillingness to take more than cat naps during the day. All in all she is a near perfect baby and mom and dad couldnt be more proud!
