Addy Making Headlines?

Not quite! However, I did want to share a story with you that I recently saw on the Today show. Click here to watch the clip if you're interested. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/33289879#33289879

It's about a 4 month old baby named Alex who was denied health insurance for being "too fat!" He's a perfectly healthy, breastfed baby. Much like our little girl! I had to giggle when I heard this story because Adalynn actually weighs more than this little boy! He weighed 18 lbs at 4 months and she weighed 18.5! Anyway, the company changed their policy and he is now insured.

Just thought I would share. I do love me a big baby!

Fingers Crossed

I am off work for a week and a half! Woo hoo! We are leaving for Gatlinburg on Sunday! However, I am feeling a little under the weather and I'm afraid Adalynn might be too. I am very nervous because my dad has the flu (feel better soon dad!) and I've been in contact with a lot of sick kids at school. Our fingers are crossed that it is nothing. Stay healthy everyone!

Addy Says...

Peace and love!

We did a little "at-home" photo shoot today. I know it's hard to tell, but there are flowers and peace signs all over her little outfit!

Our little flower child! :)

4 Month Checkup

Today after work, I took Adalynn to the Dr. for her 4 month checkup. She has been 4 months old for a couple of weeks now, but I wanted to be off for a while after I took her because of her shots. Last time, she was pretty fussy.

Here are the stats on our growing girl...

weight: 18 lb 7 oz (off the charts percentile!)

Ok teacher friends, help me out here... does this mean I have the heaviest 4 month old in America? lol

height: 26 in (95th percentile)

head circumference: (95th percentile)

Okay... so picture me going in all defensive ready to hear more about how my baby is "overweight." (At her 2 month checkup, the Dr. told me this). To my surprise the nurse practitioner ( who was super sweet btw) didn't even mention it! She told me she was a healthy (well fed :-) ) baby who is right on track with all of her milestones!

Here's a pic of our "off the charts" bundle of joy waiting patiently for the nurse practitioner! :)

Now here's the sad part... Adalynn's all happy to be there, smiling and talking to everyone, and then she gets 2 shots! She was so upset that anyone could do this to her! I'm talking major breakdown! She couldn't even catch her breath she was crying so hard! For a while, no sound was coming out! Thankfully she recovered quickly and took a nap on the car ride home. Daddy and I may possibly have a drama queen on our hands someday... :)

We are definitely blessed to have such a healthy, happy baby girl!

Family Fun

I know it's a little late to be telling you about our weekend, but we had a great one! On Saturday, Nick, Adalynn. and I went shopping. We found some adorable fall outfits for Adalynn! Then, on Sunday, we dressed our gal up in one of those adorable outfits and headed out to a couple of family get-togethers.

Here she is all decked out...

I know it's hard to tell, but it's a tutu dress with leggings! It really is adorable when it's not all squished up in a car seat. Plus, the bib kinda ruins it, but she has been a little drool monster lately. Mommy thinks a tooth is definitely in our near future!

First, we went to Mike Linnigs (sp?) with Nick's family. Sitting outside and eating in the fall weather was really nice. Then we went to my grandma's house (mamaw) to celebrate my Papaw Whitis' birthday. Here's a pic of the birthday boy! :)

I love my grandparents! :)

So that was our fun-filled family weekend. Sorry it's late, but I've been a working girl lately. I'm off for a whole week though as of today! WOO HOO!!!
