Big Girl in her Bumbo!

I thought this pic of Adalynn sitting in her bumbo was adorable!

Technically, it's her cousin Will's bumbo. (Hence the blue). He's letting her borrow it until he is big enough for it. What a good little sharer! :)

Sadly, Adalynn is sick with her first cold. She caught whatever her mommy and daddy have. Daddy recovered quickly, but mommy is having a tough time! Adalynn seems to be handling it okay. Her nose is kind of stuffy. So far, no fever! If you look at this pic closely, you can tell by her little eyes that she's not quite feeling up to par. Hopefully we will all be healthy by the end of the weekend!

How Time Flies

It's hard to believe that our precious Adalynn is 3 months and 10 days old! How time flies (especially after you have a baby I've noticed). We feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby girl. She has brought so much joy to our lives. Here are some recent pics!

Sleeping cousins

Addy and Brinklee love eachother!

Happy baby!

Don't you love that little round face?

Mommy is pleased to share that Adalynn is a great sleeper. She has been sleeping through the night for some time now and takes 2-3 good naps a day. She joined the right family since she likes to sleep. Her momma loves naps!

Back to School!

Wow! What a behind blogger I am! My days have been filled gearing up for the start of the school year and spending every other free second with little Miss Adalynn before it was back to work for mommy. Only part time though! Woohoo!

So school officially started yesterday. It was tough because it was definitely the longest I've ever been away from Adalynn. I knew she was in great hands though because my mom took off work yesterday and today so I could ease back into the swing of things. My grandma and mother-in-law are the other babysitters. I feel so fortunate to have family members watching Adalynn. They love her so much and of course take great care of her!

Bottle update- we have no problems taking it anymore! YAY! Nick's mom was the first person to get her to successfully take it Tuesday. Now she seems like an old pro. The only problem my mom ran into was that she tried to mix some formula in with breast milk (I was afraid I would run out) and that was a no go. She knew the difference! Her daddy and I joked that she might be a little high maintenance. She definitely knows what she wants when she wants it! I guess all babies do though. :)

I am excited about the new school year. For one thing, you can't beat 2.5 days a week, and I have a great teaching partner, Jill. Our kids are SO STINKING CUTE! I am aware that this cuteness will probably wear off (soon), but I am enjoying it for now. I am really excited about teaching 2nd grade this year. It was a welcomed change from 4th. :) I always kind of thought I was a little more suited for primary.

Some bad news is that Nick and I both have colds. UGH! I lost my voice today while teaching. Thank goodness I am off tomorrow and have the weekend to recuperate. Please say a little prayer that Adalynn does not catch it. I would hate to see her in this kind of discomfort. Nick and I have been taking turns taking care of each other. Right now he's making me brownies and bringing me ginger ale! Can't beat that! I asked him if he felt like I was pregnant again and he said yes! :) Kind of miss those days. *tear*

More updates to come on Adalynn. She is growing like a little weed! 3 1/2 months old now! I can't believe it! New pictures coming soon!

Adalynn Grace gets Baptized

On Sunday, August 2nd, our baby girl was baptized at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. We had a lot of our family there (minus my brother, Nathan, who had to work :( ). It was a really special day for our little lady!




Her Godmother, Staci, gave me this gown for a shower gift!















After the Baptism, we all went to lunch at Buckhead. It was a fun day!
