This past week...

  • Adelynne had her two month appointment on Wednesday and she now weighs 10 lbs. 4 oz.!! She had three shots and I'm not sure who it was harder on, Addy or mommy and daddy..geesh!
  • She will be 10 weeks old on Thursday. This week especially her head and ears are looking bigger to me! I notice it most when she's in her carseat and in her bath tub (which by the way, she loves bath time!).
  • Addy LOVES lights and mirrors...a true drama queen as well!
  • She officially pee'd all over mommy in between stripping for her bath and going toward the bath tub!
  • Friday morning was like a mini vacation for me. Josh was home and I got to take a longer shower than normal, I ate with BOTH of my hands and even got some good mommy/beagle snugs in with my Cocoa! Thanks Josh! It was refreshing! It's amazing how much you miss the little things being a new mama...
  • Mommy snuck away for about 3 hours on Saturday with Auntie Stacie. I got to hear and meet my favorite author, Jonalyn Grace Fincher (http://soulation.org/jonalynblog/ ) . She and her husband, Dale, have a ministry called "Soulation." Jonalyn is the author of "Ruby Slippers" (of course it's one of my most favorite books ever written! What an honor. It was a day of "firsts" for me. It was the first time in almost 10 weeks traveling without my little one. I carried a normal purse, wore a necklace for the first time in many weeks as well. I even had caffinated coffee that morning! WOW! What a fun day!
  • On a personal note, I'm getting more use to breast feeding. All of my friends said to give it about a month to get use to. I think it took at least a month for me. I still have my moments when it's just plain not convenient, but I'm getting better at pumping and she's getting better at taking bottles of pumped milk!
  • Addy loves her fingers now and is sucking on those more than her pacifier these days!
  • Just today I began taking her newborn clothes out of her dresser and closet. She's definitely in her 3 month clothes now and her sleepers (which have been the first things she's outgrown) are starting to feel tight in 3 month! WOW! She's still wearing her size one diapers, of which Mema keeps her well stocked on..thanks Mema!
  • Josh has put in about an almost 14 hour work day today (for those who think pastors don't work many hours!) and I'm excited to have him home today. It's a good thing the past two days have been good family days! He's such a hard worker and I sure do love him! Thanks for all you do honey...in case I don't tell you enough these crazy days lately :-) We visited the retirement home today and the ladies were excited to see Adelynne. Last time we were there, I think I was 6 or 7 months pregnant.
Here's some pictures from the week:

Passed out from her shots as well as a big growth spurt that happened this week (aka not a lot of sleep and lots of cranky cra cra!).

 Our good friends Tiffany and Kelly, friends from college, met me at Red Robin for lunch. We missed thier little one Tessa and Josh...but it was still super great to catch up. It was their first time meeting Adelynne...
 Somebody is good at getting this girl to sleep!
 Mommy and Addy at Red Robin...Addy wanted fries :-)
 She is just starting to really get into this bouncy/vibrating chair that our old neighbors gave us! It's nice for mommy and daddy to have some hands free moments too!
Do you think she's related to me?!
