December 29, 2014 - Christmas Visit

As usual we had a fun but tiring Christmas visit. We drove to Red Creek on Friday, the day after Christmas, and celebrated with my family. Grandpa and Grandma got lots of smiles out of Adelynn and Bryanna and Audrey loved playing with each other. Everyone got matching pjs!



We woke up and drove to Rochester for brunch with Grandpa and Grammy Kelly. Everyone got to hold Adelynn and the kids loved playing with her and Bryanna loved playing with her cousins. We all had fun opening our gifts...and the "grandma gift" was cute too...Scott got a batman golf club cover. 



After that we drive to visit Grandma Wetzel and Grandpa Rick.

December 25, 2014 - First Christmas!

This was by far the best Christmas to date! It was so relaxing and stress free knowing we didn't have to drive anywhere. We took our time opening presents, played ALL day, and watched some new movies. This is the way it should be...no more driving on Christmas....EVER!

similarities but not as similar as when they were younger.

We had to get out for a walk in this sunny 60 degree weather!

December 23, 2014 - Sitting Up, Favorite Toy

Adelynn is doing awesome at sitting up! She will sit like this for 15-30 min with barely tipping over! Good job boo boo!

She is also holding her favorite toy in this picture. She loves to chew on it and shake it around.


Her hair is growing so fast! This piece of hair is always laying overtop of her ear like this, lol!

December 19, 2014 - First Clip In Hair, Schedule

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Just for fun I put a clip in Adelynn's hair today and it stayed! Her hair has gotten so long but it's hard to tell because it's so light and thin.

Adelynn's schedule: wake up around 7-7:30am, eat 7-8oz of formula, take a nap around 9am, wake up at 10:30am, eat some solids, another 7-8oz bottle at 12, then naps around 1pm, wakes up around 3pm, drinks 7-8oz bottle around 4-4:30pm, sometimes she takes a quick nap, eats solids when we eat dinner between 5:30-6pm and then a bottle before bed which is around 7:30-8pm. This is a rough schedule that we are trying to work on and follow. I find when she gets all four bottles and two meals, then she sleeps good at night. Sometimes she wakes up for the binky but we are working on self soothing. She doesn't cry when she wakes up but starts making noises and talking sometimes. It's hard because she is still in our room, so even though she is going 12hrs overnight, some nights we aren't getting good sleep - I can't wait until she gets into Bryanna's room! We are thinking to move her over after Christmas.

December 16, 2014 - Rolled On Side, Torticollis Update

Adelynn rolled onto her side from her back today!!! We are so proud of her! This is such huge progress for her. The Torticollis has made her so stiff so we have been working on all different kinds of stretches and PT. The PT is very happy with the shape of her head as well and feels that we only need to see her every other week now.

She is also getting really good at grabbing things and I noticed her transferring toys from one hand to the other.

December 14, 2014 - First Trip To NYC

Adelynn did so great during her first trip to NYC. We were gone over 9hrs and I don't think she cried once!

December 12, 2014 - Mystery Reader

I was the mystery reader at Bryanna's school today and I brought Adelynn along. All the kids were so excited to see her and wouldn't stop talking about how cute she was!

Adelynn loves to bang her feet on the floor - the second you put her down on her back she is kicking and banging away. She does it faster when she is excited...it's so cute and funny.

December 7, 2014 - First Christmas Tree

We went to our favorite place to get a Christmas tree....Maple Row Treefarm in Easton, Connecticut. We tried taking Adelynn in the carrier but she was a little fussy so we ended up using the stroller. We didn't take the hayride back this time around but we still found the perfect tree! Also, we tried looking for Scott's ring, because that's where he lost it last year, but no such luck...we had to at least try.

December 2, 2014 - 5 Months!!!

We come back from New York and she's doing all sorts of new tricks. She's rolling over more from belly to back, babbling a lot saying mama, maba, baba...and sitting up on her own for a good amount of time. She likes to squeal and do that "clearing your throat" thing.

She's sleeping through the night for the most part, every once in a while she'll wake up for a night feeding. This usually happens when she only has four bottles throughout the day. We have stopped feeding her solids and decided to give it a couple of weeks because she doesn't seem ready. And most nights we have to wake up at least once for the binky.

November 27, 2014 - First Thanksgiving!

Adelynn had a great first Thanksgiving! It was a snowy, messy drive that took us 7.5hrs to get there, but it was worth it to spend time with family. We even got to play in the snow!

So sweet!
