The poor giraffe didn’t stand a chance against it’s natural predator…the Ada-lion. 🙂 See what I did there?
Happy Blog-versary
Today marks one year of blogging! I can’t believe how far we’ve come. Kayla and I both love looking back through these posts and reliving the adventure we’ve had thus far. Adalyn has grown so much in this short amount of time and we couldn’t be prouder. The two videos we have (here and here), revealing we’re pregnant to the family, are priceless. I can only imagine this blog becoming more precious as we and Addy continue to grow.
Topsy-Turvy
What do you get when you put the cutest 20 week old in the world in a Doorway Jumper that’s a little too big for her? 56 seconds of the most adorable video. Ever.
Bed Head
Happy Saturday morning everyone! Addy is 20 weeks old!
Found a Peanut
19 weeks and growing. Big thanks to Susie and Peyton for the hand-me-downs!
Clinic Time
We’re proud to report that Adalyn aced her Clinic appointment today. We had such a good time showing her off to all of the doctors and nurses who haven’t seen her since our last visit. They all had to do a double take when they walked into the room because they just couldn’t believe how much she has grown. Of course none of them could resist her sweet baby chub either! I saw a couple of doctors give her little thighs a squeeze while they examined her. 🙂 Addy’s report came back with fantastic results. We are currently on a super low dosage of Creon 3 (the enzymes that helps squirt digest her food) and the GI doctor saw no reason to increase it, her lungs sound great, and her weight is…ahem…above average. We were told we could stop supplementing Adalyn’s diet with Neosure (usually given to preemies for weight gain) and move her over to regular ‘ol formula. We couldn’t be happier. Kayla and I both feel so blessed and we can’t help but be so proud of her. Here is Addy in her hospital mask. She wasn’t too bothered by it as long as it didn’t cover her eyes and apparently it didn’t taste too bad either…
Road Trip At 18 Weeks
Kayla and I, along with the rest of her family, took an extra long weekend away from work to go on a road trip to Gatlinburg, TN. This was Adalyn’s first vacation away from home. It was certainly exciting to watch her explore her new surroundings, “rough it” in the car with mommy and daddy, and beat the heat with her stylish hat and swim wear. She was an angel the whole time. We stayed in a great cabin not far from the main strip but secluded back in the woods for some privacy. While we were there, we went to Ripley’s Aquarium, Dollywood, and even braved an ancient Egyptian Tomb in Pigeon Forge. OK, Adalyn didn’t do that last one, it was for the big kids. 🙂 Everyone had a great time and we all managed to make it back home safe and sound. I wish I would have taken more pictures but it was a new experience for me having a kid/stroller/baby bag/etc. with us everywhere we went. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Gone Fishin’
We’ll be back soon. 🙂
4 Month Check Up
Adalyn had her 4 month pediatric check up today. She did great and we got nothing but good news. But, it was also time for the dreaded immunizations. YUCK! Addy took it like a champ though. She cried all of 5 seconds until Kayla got a hold of her and put her in a super-healing-mommy-bear-hug. Honestly, I think it upset us more than Adalyn. 🙂
A Princess Turns 3
We had a great time today at Peyton’s 3rd Birthday Party. She’s growing up to be such a wonderful little lady. It’s so nice to see what Kayla and I have to look forward to.
