Adalyn: 2 months old!

Wow! Adalyn is two months old. I can't believe it. I will probably start every monthly post out like that!

Things Adalyn does:
-Smiles a lot
-holds her head up during tummy time, and uses her arms as support
-she has learned how to cry LOUD
-sleeps in 6-7 hour stretched at night
-her eyes track very well
-loves to stare at peoples faces
-smiling spontaneously
-makes lots of cooing noises or "gee" "aye" or "ahhhhh" in a sing song voice
-wiggles so much, even while she's eating

Things Adalyn likes:
-smiling
-dad and mom
-holding her self up with her arms
-eating
-kicking her legs in the air when she's on her back
-accidentally rolling over when her head topples over after tummy time
-laying on my legs while I talk to her
-being talking to
-being held
-being outside
-being swaddled
-still LOVES bath time
-staring at the mobile above her swing
-the front carrier, yay!

Things Adalyn doesn't like:
-being hungry
-being on her stomach too long
-sometimes when she is on her stomach she spits up a little bit and then drops her head into her spit up so it gets ALL over her face, and even in her eyes sometimes. She doesn't like that
-getting out of the bath
-looking at one thing for too long or being in the same position for too long
-going to bed before 10 pm (I think she might be a night owl like me ah! I have tried to put her to bed at 7:30 or 8 and it doesn't work. Ever.)
-sitting in her carseat for too long
-being tired, she is starting to get really mad if she gets overtired.

Adalyn is such a fun little bug! She is interacting more and more everyday. Here are some pictures from her second month of life.

(The ladies from the Presbyterian church threw Adalyn a baby shower! They are so good to us.)

(Adalyn and Grandpa W)

 

(Tut will sit right next to her but not look at her or sniff her, unless Adalyn touches her first)

(Reading together)

(Such a strong girl!)

(She was sad for some reason.)

The Fourth of July and the weekend after

We always have FUN on the fourth of July, since I've been married it has become one of my favorite holidays! Here are some pictures, I didn't end up taking very many which is SAD but it is a common occurrence these days.

(Ashlyn loved this, even went up the stairs! Ha ha)

(Grace is so big! We wish Sam and Megan lived closer!)

(Adalyn slept through all the fireworks! Even the loud ones. Quick story: the fireworks were postponed for an hour due to someone drowning in the river, which is so so sad. But Adalyn even slept through all the waiting! I was nervous because there was no way we could leave because of how crowded downtown was.)

(The flash was very bright)

(The next day we had family pictures)

(Ashlyn was getting upset with all the picture taking, then lo, and behold a man comes walking up with 5 Chihuahuas in tow, and then she was fine when he let us use them to cheer her up! This guy didn't even have them on leashes, it was so peculiar.)

(After taking family pictures we all headed up to Island park for some R&R at a cool cabin we rented for the weekend)

(We had some type to feats of strength deal going on. I walked in in the middle of it so I don't really know haha)

(They were seeing who could throw the ball the highest and straightest while keeping their elbows on the ground. Harder than it looks!)

(Then Cory wanted to show off his flexibility, he can do the splits. Isn't that gross? And cool?)

(Adalyn loves taking a bath!)

(Grace kills me, she is the cutest lil thing)

(Sweet girl)

(minute to win it games! I actually completed this one)

(We had to  move the cotton balls to the other bowl with our noses that were coated in Vaseline)

(Sorry all my pics are blurry. We had to try and keep the balloons in the air for a minute. None of us could do it for even 10 seconds!)

(Tonya took this with her phone and it is hilarious. Adalyn was on her legs but for some reason it turned out like this, she kind of looks like an alien.

(Lora, Cory's cousin got married!)

(James & Joy, JJ how cute!)

 

The fourth and the week after were SO jam packed but they were also so much fun! I loved spending so much time with my Whitt fam! They are truly the best and so much fun to be around.  And Adalyn is such an awesome baby, what a trooper with all the carting around we did.

 

Edit: I just found all these pictures that I forgot about from our adventure in Island Park!

 Now for more minute in win it games...

Adalyn's Blessing & Other Things

Sorry if you saw that weird link I posted! I was claiming my blog on bloglovin' because google reader is no more. But then I realized that I don't even use google reader, I just use blogger to follow blogs, ha ha. Oh sheesh.

Well I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everyone who commented on my blog, or sent me text messages or messages on facebook. I have such great friends and family!! I love hearing about other's experiences with the early days of having a baby! It makes me feel better about not knowing what I am doing a lot of the time. And I have to apologize to my friend Karly for frightening her, ha ha.

I have been doing insanity for almost a week now and I have been feeling really good, I have way more energy! But oh my gosh it is hard. Cory has skipped out a few times because it is the last 2 weeks in his semester at school, so I guess it wasn't the best time to start it! But he is NOT quitting, I will not let that happen.

Yesterday I went to the zoo with my Whittier fam! It was so fun, and I forgot how much the zoo stinks(literally)! My favorite part was when the lemurs were running around in their enclosure and one ran across the window seal and Grace started laughing! It was so cute, I haven't gotten to hear her laugh yet so that was fun. Adalyn slept, so she was a good time.  And of course I forgot my camera darnit!

I will have a lot of pictures after this weekend, so excited for the Fourth of July! I think it is so special to me because 2 years ago Cory told me he loved me on the fourth. Not during the fireworks because that would be just a little too cheesy and cliche, but after when he was walking me to my car. So sweet! I love that boy.

Okay and last but not least, Cory gave Adalyn a beautiful blessing this past Sunday. And, no surprise but she slept through that too! I post the same pictures on all my social media outlets, sorry! You'll just have to look at them again.

(Just a few before the blessing pictures, I LOVE this one of her in her frog towel!)

(She likes to cross her eyes)

(I left the room for like 10 seconds, and when I came back her finger was stuck in the blanket ha! It is her pinky finger)

(We had no idea she was so uncomfortable, anyways, 4 generations!)

(Jodee got her mission call! Texas, San Antonio mission, woo hoo!)

(I wish you could see her bonnet!)

(She had an eye booger or something)

(so sweet)

(I don't know who took this, but I thought it was a nice candid)

(Another 4 generation picture)

(Jill's face)

(The only picture I got with my family, we forgot to take some with my parents!)

(This pictures kill me)

(My cousin Lyndsey was so good at holding Adalyn!)

(Whittiers!)

(Uncle Alex)

(Cory took this exciting picture)

God Bless America!! Be safe!
