J-E-L-L-O

This was one of the times today where I really wish I had the video camera handy. Adalynn was sitting in her high chair and I was sitting at the table feeding her pears and pineapples (a new favorite of hers.) I was eating red jello while feeding her. I'm limited to what I can eat right now. Trying to get over a stomach bug. Anyway, she was mesmerized by the jello. I offered her a bite, but she didn't want any part of it. So she's still staring at it the whole time. Then, I start moving the spoon around so it's jiggling all over the place. She started cracking up! She was laughing for about 7 minutes over the jiggling jello. She even got tears in her eyes she was laughing so hard. I had to give her dad a call at work so he could hear how hilarious jello is to our girl!

party planning

I know it's still early, but I have already started planning Addy's birthday party. (Even though it's a little over 3 months away!) I guess you could call it pre-planning. Nick is already worried that I'm going to go overboard. He's probably right. I can't help it though. It's in my nature. :) Plus, it will be her FIRST birthday. I mean, if a mom can't go overboard with that, when can she?

So I've decided to go with an Elmo theme. Addy loves Elmo. We don't watch a lot of TV, but Sesame Street is a show we like to catch. Really visually stimulating and musical. Even entertaining for mommies and daddies! :)

I had to share this adorable outfit I came across online while searching for ideas and things. I will definitely be ordering this for the birthday girl to wear!




Adorable right!?!

The plan is to have her party up at my parents' house.

I'm not ready for her to be 1 yet. I will probably be shedding some tears on her birthday. I'm just kind of a planner so I want to have time to get all of the little details together.

who knows?

I LOVE the age Adalynn is at right now. The only thing I wish I could change is if she could somehow tell me why she's crying sometimes. Sounds crazy, I know. For example, last night, we went to bed at about 10:30, and she woke up screaming at 11:30. She cried on and off until 12:30 when she finally went back to sleep. I couldn't figure out what was hurting her. She wouldn't eat so I didn't think she was hungry. I thought it could be her tummy or maybe her ear. Her nose was a little stuffy, but nothing major. So, I took her to the Dr. this evening, and they said she looked perfectly fine. Ears are fine, throat was fine, everything was fine. I was very happy to hear this. I just don't know what could be the cause of these late night fussing spells. The past few nights we've been dealing with them. I joke that she knows when I have to work because it seems to be worse on nights that I have to be at work the next morning. She's her perfectly happy self throughout the day though. Teething maybe? Still no teeth! So, who knows? :)

Here's the funny part. Well, not really funny. Kind of painful for me, but unusual I guess. While at the Dr., I asked her to look in my ear because it's been bothering me the past few days. Adalynn may not have an ear infection, but mommy sure does! Ouch! I'm just glad it's me and not her though.

Oh well. Hoping for a good night of sleep tonight! Who knows? We will see. :)

cousinly love

Nick and I got a little taste of what it would be like to have twins the other day. We watched our nephew, Will for a few hours. We had lots of fun. Addy and Will are 10 weeks apart, and so sweet together. They love each other!



Hi Will!



Pretty babies

Happy girl!

We loved our little cousin play date!

rub-a-dub-dub

Rub-a-dub-dub, Addy loves the tub!

Had to share some pictures of one of Adalynn's favorite times of the day- bath time.

I've waited all day for my bath! Woohoo!

Look at me!

Gotta get every part squeaky clean!

I LOVE this picture! Check out those ROLLS!!! :)

Getting all warm and cozy!

That was fun mom! Let's do it again tomorrow!

baby food

My absolute favorite aisle in the grocery store is the one with the baby food! I can't explain it, but for some reason, I can spend a lot of time there looking at all of that stuff. Adalynn and I took a trip to the baby food aisle today and found some new things to try. Our cabinet is already stocked, but I'm always trying to offer her new things. Like anyone, she has things she likes and things she doesn't like. I can get her to eat almost any fruit. The problem is, the only vegetable she will eat is carrots. (Kind of a problem!) :) So I'm kind of on a quest to find vegetables or things with vegetables in it that she will eat.

For blogging purposes, I took a picture of our baby food cabinet to show you the amount of stuff we're dealing with here. It's 3 rows deep!




The funny part is, we have all of that baby food, but she only eats a few choice things. Oh well! I keep trying! I could possibly be a baby food hoarder. :)

One of the things we picked up today was macaroni and cheese with vegetables. Let's just say, she was not a fan. She was giving me some crazy looks! I even took a little taste and quickly found out why she was giving me that look! It was really gross!

Hopefully we found some things she will eat! I hope she's not picky, but right now, it's kind of looking that way. She's always kind of been strong willed so I wouldn't be surprised. :)

Well, there's my totally random post about baby food. Hopefully you didn't find it too... what's the word... uneventful. :) It was just something I wanted to remember about this point in our lives! :) I know it's someting I will miss buying one day.

Go Colts!!!

It's no secret that the Adams' are some pretty big Colts fans. Even the littlest Adams herself can't help but get in on the action. Here she is sporting daddy's hat. She was gearing up for Sunday's game. We are sooo excited to see our boys going to the Superbowl again! It's sure to be an exciting game!







This picture cracks me up!




Surprise face! "Did we just win the AFC championship?"


GO COLTS!!!
