7 Months

^That grin!

^These two have actually been getting along better. She will laugh and giggle at him and gets excited to see him.

^And lest you think she never cries.

 

This month will mostly be described through pictures. In writing this post, I went back and looked at old pictures of her as a newborn, and it made me sad that she has grown so much! Where is my little baby? (Even though she is still a baby.) Gah she needs to stop growing.

^And the big thing from this month is that we survived a week of girls camp! It was a high of 94 degrees (gah!), and so we wore these green cooling rags to help each of us since I was holding her most of the time. She was a champ! Seriously. She was so good. (And I am glad that we survived camp and that it is over.)

^She had a really bad diaper rash this last week. Baby girl wanted to be held a lot. Especially liked snuggling in with her daddy . . . but had to be held funny because the rash was so bad.

^When Addie and I got home from girls camp, Kenny said, “I missed Ade…. I missed you two so much”. I asked him who he missed more- me or Addie. He said, “… well, mostly Addie because I don’t get to see her as much because she has to take naps and stuff.”

^This is a new favorite game the three of them like to play. It involves the boys fighting over who gets to lay down in front of Adelaide, and then Adelaide pulls their hair, eyes, cheeks, etc. Super fun game.

^Is a champ at eating now. Hardly gags and can pound some crackers down.

^Reed’s idea. He concocts the ideas, and Adelaide patiently endures.

^Sitting up for the first time in a shopping cart. It was like a whole new world for her! (Also, she probably could have done this for quite some time now. It just never crossed my mind to take her out of the carseat. #thirdkidproblems)

She is quite the roller now and uses rolling as a means of transportation. She is very fast with it, and now the boys have to be extra careful with keeping their legos in their room only.

We love you Ade-lady! (As Kenny now likes to call her.)

 

6 Months

^The little tongue! I could die.

^Such a cute smile.

^I love this picture of her.

Little Miss is six months! Some highlights of the month:

• She can sit. And she enjoys being able to be in the action more.

• She has eaten peas, banana, sweet potato, and applesauce. She gagged on the first three but seemed to do better on applesauce.
• Will give kisses when requested. She gave Ken the first kissy.
• Rode an airplane for the first time since I went and visited friends in Utah. She did awesome on the plane.

• She is very mild mannered.
• Attended her first wedding. A couple of people commented that we were brave for bringing a baby to a wedding. Not much choice when they don’t take a bottle. But we had multiple strangers come up to us at the end and say “I don’t know you, but that is the best baby I have ever seen!” ❤️ (And I wish we had taken a picture! She looked adorable!)

• The boys started swim lessons this past week. She just kicks and makes noise the whole time in excitement. It echoes so much on the pool deck, and I think she likes all the excitement.

This was Reed’s teacher, Josh. I will sing Josh’s praises all day. He was so good with Reed!

• She tried out swimming again, and it was a success this time. She really enjoyed it!

• She loves playing with water bottles, crinkly wipe cases, and a specific book that crinkles really well.
• She gets upset if she can’t see me, the boys, or Ken. She likes to be in on the action.

We love you Adelaide!
