12 weeks old!

3/6/09

Adeline is 12 weeks old today. Time is going by even faster with her than it did with Owen. I guess because life is so busy with two babies under two years of age. I guess that is also the reason I have been so bad about blogging lately. I need to do better. If I don't document the little things somewhere I will forget about them.

About 2 weeks ago, Adeline discovered those cute pudgy things attached to the ends of her arms. Her hands and fingers are constantly in her mouth now, thus causing the neckline of her shirts to get wet with slobber.If I don't put bibs on her, I end up changing her outfit several times a day. I guess that is one way to get some wear out of her outfits though. She is growing so fast,and has so many clothes, that she is only wearing some things a couple times before they are too small. I never thought I was going to have to buy size 6 month winter clothes, but I had to hit up the clearance racks at several stores to get her though the cold weather with clothes that fit. I have already bought several new things for spring and summer in size 9 and 12 months. Grandma Shultz also bought her and Owen some new clothes for Spring.

Adeline has started to let out some cute giggles on occasion. Last night she thought it was really funny when George said "boo". Every time he said it she would smile and let out a little chuckle. I am not sure what was going through her head to make the word "boo" so funny, but non the less it was cute.

She is still sleeping wonderfully at night, and napping well during the day. She goes to bed at 9:00pm, and gets up between 7:30am and 8:00am. She is breastfeeding about 5-6 times during the day, and still putting on the pounds. She is now over 15 pounds. When I sent some pictures to my dad the other day, he called and asked if she had chubby arms. I replied,"She has chubby everything!" I love chubby babies with lots of fat rolls. Hehe!

When Owen was a baby, if he was not being held, entertained, or sleeping, he was screaming. If I put Adeline in the swing, vibrating chair, or on a play mat, she will be perfectly happy by herself for a good 30 minutes so I can get things done around the house. I love that!

Her clogged tear duct has been completely cleared up for the past month. Whoohoo, no more yucky weepy eyes! After loosing all the hair she was born with, new hair is coming in, but it is very fine, and sticks straight up. I am hoping that once it gets longer it will start to lay down. She has awesome head control, and loves to look all around to see what is going on.

I am loving the warmer weather today, and after nap time I think we will all go for a walk. The fresh air will be nice.
