Smile!!!!!

Adalee has been smiling for about 2 weeks now. Her smiles keep getting cuter and cuter. Getting a picture of her smiling however has been quite a difficult task. We either never had the camera around or she would stop as soon as we took the picture. Yesterday we FINALLY got a picture of her smiling. Cameron was talking to her and smiling while I was holding her. She kept giving us the cutest grins. Cam grabbed his phone and captured this sweet picture of her. Its not the greatest quality, but we finally have a smile documented. :)

What we have been up to lately

I don't have a specific event to blog about, just a bunch of random things we have been doing. We venture out of the house a lot more, especially since I feel like I'll go crazy if I have to spend one more second inside. The weather has been so nice, we use any and every excuse to get out of the house.


My mom put Adalee in one of my dresses and took some cute pictures of her. We love doing mini photoshoot with her.

What happens when Addy has poop-explosions at Grammy's house? She gets to take a bath in the sink. She was obviously not happy about this.

Another picture from our fun photo shoot at my Mom's.

She likes bath-time at home. She is even starting to splash around a bit.

Taking a nap with her Daddy. So cute! This was after our appointment at Primary Children's Hospital. Adalee had to have a hip ultrasound because they thought her hips were sliding out of socket. All is well though. Her hip slides around a little because her ligaments are just a little lax, but her hip socket is not too shallow so she won't need a hip brace after all. YAY!!!

This is my crazy daughter. She does the weirdest things with her hands while she eats. I have a bazillion pictures of her doing things like this. She also likes to sneak her fingers into her mouth along with the bottle. It's a constant battle with those fingers.

Addy and Cam at the Gateway Mall. Addy wasn't too happy about being in her stroller. We ended up carrying her most of the time. Cameron got some new sunglasses and I got some new running shoes!

1 Month Old

I cannot believe my baby girl is already a month old. She just keeps getting cuter and cuter everyday. She is still my skinny-minny baby. Pretty much all of her 0-3 month old clothes are too big for her. I'm limited to her Newborn outfits still. We have been venturing outside of the house a little more lately. We've been to a few lunch dates with friends and a family reunion.
Addy at 1 month old! I love that she poses her hands by her face. She does this all the time.

I LOVE her feet. I could just eat them up. She has LONG feet-skinny but long.

This is how she likes to sleep. She also does this while I nurse her. She likes to hide from everyone

This was taken the day after Cameron's Birthday. I surprised him by having family come over for dinner. He had to work on his birthday and was pretty bummed that we weren't doing anything exciting for his birthday. He was pretty surprised when the whole family showed up to celebrate his birthday. The dinner was delicious and the weather was so nice, we sat outside and ate our food. It was wonderful to sit and relax and visit with our families

Grammy Becky took this cute picture. I love the puckered lips. And look at those BLUE eyes.

Thats all for now. More to come.

Pictures and Adalee's 2 week check up

Adalee had her 2 week appointment last Wednesday and she is almost back up to her birth weight. She weighed 7lbs. 3 oz. and grew 1/2 inch. One thing we have to be a little concerned with is her hip. Her pediatrician said her left hip seems to be sliding out of socket. I guess this can happen in some babies. If it goes without treatment her hip socket may not develop correctly. We have to go have an ultrasound done at Primary Children's Hospital and they will determine if her hip is still sliding out of socket or if it resolved on it's own. If it is still causing problems we will have to go see a Orthopedic Surgeon and they may have to put her in a brace for a few months. Hopefully all will go well. Adalee is doing great with breastfeeding. It is much easier for both of us now. She is also sleeping well. She usually sleeps 5 sometimes 6 hours straight in the night. Let me tell you this has been HEAVEN! It's amazing how much getting just a few extra hours of sleep makes such a huge difference. We are loving being new parents!!! She loves to sleep with her hands by her face. Just like her mommy!

On our way home from the hospital. She didn't really like the car ride home.

One of my favorite pictures. Cameron took this pic right after her first bath.

3 weeks old. and in her cute outfit Aunt Clarissa gave her.

Not really sure how she feels about having her picture taken. She looks so concerned. :)
