Adelynn has recently discoverd her tongue. She sticks it out when she smiles, and plays games with her daddy sticking her tongue out at him. She will also lick anything near the vicinity of her mouth. She doesn't always suck on it, but she will lick it. Blankets, her hands, pacifier, mommy's hands...

It is darling, especially when she smiles!

Addie had her two month doctors appointment today, and she had to get shots. I feel like the worst mom in the world. Poor little thing cried like I've never heard her cry. Afterwards she looked at me with this wounded expression of broken trust. It broke my heart. She's asleep now, all wrapped up snugly in a blanked in her swing. I admit all I want to do is cuddle her.

She weighs 11.4 pounds, is 22.5 inches long, and is right where she should be for everything. She's a healthy and happy little girl.

So I guess having little one turn two months old is excuse enough to start a family blog. That and having family scattered across the country (which is actually a recent development) with anxious aunts, uncles, and grandparents wanting pictures and updates, as well as a mom who doesn't scrapbook but wants to keep some sort of a family record. This will mostly be pictures of little Adelynn, which is who you all want to see anyway. I might throw in some updates for Jaron and I, but really this is about Addie, and her younger siblings when they come. Living so far away from family is a challenge, but I want to make sure our children stay a part of your lives.

Feel free to save pictures and make them your background, print them out, share them at work, and brag about your little granddaughter/niece as much as you please. What can I say? She is just the cutest!
