Adilyne Jean

What is cuter than a baby girl in a nightgown?!?!?!

I thought with all of her new milestones that I needed to do a little update on what Adi Jean has been up to. Actually Eliott has changed what he calls her, and has now been referring to her as Adilyne!

She still only has the bottom 2 teeth, but has doing lots of chewing and lots of drooling lately, so I'm wondering if more are on the way? We will see! She has finally been sleeping a little better for us at night, so thankful for that! She was the best-sleeping little baby. From the night she was born until she was 3 months she would get up at 2:00 a.m. It was so consistant I didn't even have to look at the clock. At 3 mo. she got an ear infection, and that was all over with!!!! We were getting up 6 times some nights with her.....not an easy task when we both had to be up at 5:15 a.m. for work. I'm happy to say that we are back to getting up once per night, and sometimes it's only a nuk that she can't find....we are making progress!

When Adi turned 8 months old she learned how to pull herself up in her crib, and stand along furniture! We have also put her behind some walk-behind toys and she does pretty well! She just looks so short to be standing up and 'walking'!!! She definitely makes some tracks throughout the day! This little girl is everywhere and into everything!!!! It's a full time job just to keep up with her! I will vacuum and sweep, and 'think' that the floor is clean. Then she comes along, and she ALWAYS finds something to stick in her mouth!! I laugh that I don't have to sweep under the kitchen table anymore, she will just crawl around under there and eat all the scraps off the floor if you let her!

She is also now saying Mamamama, and babababa, we are now working on Dadadada. If I remember correctly, though, Chad was referred to as Mumumum for a long time by Eliott!

She absolutely ADORES her big brother! He can always get her to smile, laugh, and swing her arms and legs in excitement! He does play a little rough with her at times, this we are working on....but for the most part, for right now, they are siblings who love each other!

We are so blessed to have this 'little doll face' (-Eliott) in our family.

We LOVE her:)

She's a tough girl...

The other night we put Adi to bed. A little while later we couldn't find Eliott. We checked on Adi, and found him in her bed! They were having a great time!! They were both giggling and laughing at each other! We got out the video camera and laughed along with them! She's going to be quite a tough girl, he plays so rough with her, but she thinks it's funny. He was literally picking her right off the mattress with her jammies!

Neighborhood Pirate Party~

Here are our make-shift pirate costumes for the occasion!
There was a little inside-joke to the party, some people had lots of fun with this!

My friend, Ashley, and I all dressed up.

More pirates getting ready to head to Port!

We were put into teams according to how fast we were able to construct a hat out of newspaper. Once in our teams we had to make a boat with very limited materials. The boat had to go with us to all events. I was such a fun day!!!! Thanks to the Athman's and the Britz's for all the work that was put into making it so great!!!

where did the month go!?!?!

These are the 3 granddaughters in Chad's family. Elizabeth, Ally, and Adilyne.
Adi all ready for the beach!

Happy Kids!

Wonder what this look is about?!

Big Boy!

It's been quite a while since I have blogged, no other excuse other than things have been really, really busy!!! The last day of school was today for the kids, and teachers go tomorrow. I will then begin my job as a Stay-At-Home-Mom for the summer! Horray!!! I'm excited to spend all summer with the kids, I'll probably be just as busy, or even more so than when I'm working! It's not an easy task to keep up to these 2! Adi is now sitting, and crawling, and is into EVERYTHING! Eli is just a busy little boy like always, and keeps us on our toes! He is talking like crazy now, and we are always, always laughing with what he comes up with! He is quite entertaining, especially the fact that he talks in 3rd person, so what he says is even cuter:) I have one at my feet now that I need to get to bed, I promise that with all my time at home I will be much better at updating!

The One Good Thing About SNOW in May...

It was finally melty enough for Eliott to use his snowman kit from Santa!

Fun before the snow!

Adi Jean- 6 months

We had some 6 month pictures taken of Adi on Easter. I don't have those on here yet, but the other day we had a beautiful tree blooming in our backyard, so Jess came over and we took some more of her in front of the tree. She also took some of all 3 of the grandkids. They turned out beautiful, once again!
