Just look at that face! Oh my goodness, doesn't your heart just melt? And look at that hair!!! She was on a fleece blanket and I was trying to get her to go to sleep, so I covered her eyes with the blanket. Baby girl wasn't having it so she was turning her head from side to side. When I uncovered her this is what I found!
She's got some pretty awesome hair.
Adelynn wants so bad to be big and independent, and wants to feed herself the bottle. So so darling, but she has some trouble aiming for her mouth. It sure provides some entertainment for us on this end though.
She is such a fun little thing and interacting with us so much now. She laughs, giggles, screeches and squawks, and lifts her arms towards us when she wants to be picked up. She's our little bundle of energy and is always always smiling. Except when she is teething, which she has been recently. Look at this picture...
Poor baby girl was having a rough afternoon and just wanted cuddles from her daddy. Her gums were swollen, cheeks flushed, and just all around miserable. We gave her some tylenol just before this picture was taken, and as soon as it kicked in she fell asleep. Poor baby girl has been doing better, that was a bad day for her. Teething is so cruel for little ones!
A personality trait we have noticed is that Addie loves loves loves to watch tv. It doesn't matter what it is. Star trek with papa, general conference, or whatever we happen to be watching at the time. She will zone into it, stare at the tv, and stay like that until it is over. This girl loves her some tv! A few times I have used it as a babysitter, I'm ashamed to say. When she's needy but I need to do something where I can't hold her (like shower or use the bathroom) I turn on bubble guppies on the ipad. She will stop wriggling and crying and let me to whatever it is I need to do. I come back in the room to find her laughing and giggling along with the show. I think she can recognize the sound of laughter.
This was taken while Jaron and I were away and his parents were babysitting Addie for us. I believe they were watching Blind Side. We received this picture in a text caption "couch tatoes x3". We laughed so hard when we saw it. Notice how she is leaning forward to watch? Gotta love that little girl!
In other news, I have to take a moment to brag about how awesome my husband is. Jaron got accepted into The Ohio State Medical School! Not only is it an amazing and competitive school, it is tied for our number one choice! I'm so proud of Jaron and how hard he worked through undergrad, MCAT, shadowing, volunteering, and everything else required for medical school applications. We are so excited and, as Jaron keeps saying, "I'm going to be a doctor!"
