Have I got cute for you...

Owen break dancing with his cousin at a wedding reception


Looking a little bit like "Risky Business"?



She is really enjoying her time at the zoo, huh?





Owen loves walking around wearning my shoes. Not so sure George loves it. Haha!







Putting all his loot from Easter eggs in his piggy bank. So serious!

Where have I been?

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. Looking back over the last month, I have been very busy, but no busier than normal. Remember, I do have two babies under two. I really am going to try and be better about posting on here.

Adeline is growing by leaps and bounds. She has been rolling over from front to back, and back to front for about a month now! I think her massive weight plays into it a bit. While on her back, if she just hikes those big thunder thighs up and over, anything is a piece of cake. While at the doctors office for her 4 month check up, the doctor was bending up her knees towards her chest, and then rotating her legs out, and then back in, checking her hips. Well, this really bunched up the rolls on her thighs, and I said to her doctor that she really doesn't like it when he does that because it really makes her legs look big. He got a big chuckle out of that. Adeline no longer likes lounging back in her swing or bouncy seat. She wants to be sitting up so that she can see everything that is going on. She is a little nosey. Everything even close to her reach ends up in her hands, and then right into her mouth. She has become a big drooler. If you remember right, Owen was a horrible drooler, and she is just following in his footsteps. With all this drool, she thinks blowing raspberries is even more fun, since slobber is then flying everywhere. Haha! I wonder if she is already starting to get some teeth. She is also constantly chewing on her fingers. I remember Owen started this behavior about a month before he got his first tooth, so I guess we will see. Adleine is still such a happy go lucky baby. Sometimes an entire 12 hours or so will go by during the day without hearing a cry. Her hair is finally starting to get long enough so that it is laying down a bit, and she has been wearing some bows made by a friend of mine that makes them for "near baldies". How cute is that? I need to order some in some other colors so that she has a wide variety to go with all her cute summer dresses and bubbles. When she has belly time, she is able to hold her head up for quite some time. Once again, I think it is because she is so nosey, and shw has to know what is going on. She is wearing size 9 months in some things, and 12 months in others, and is well into size 3 diapers. We wait to give our babies food until they are 6 months old, so she is still just exclusively breastfeeding. She is getting to the stage where she is very distracted while eating, and pulls herself off constantly to again, be nosey, and see what is going on. She is now eating about every 4-4.5 hours during the day, and still sleeping like a dream at night. She goes to bed around 9:00pm, and gets up anywhere between 7:30am and 8:30am. George and I were discussing last night that we really think she is now wanting to go to bed around 8:00pm. I hope this doesn't mean she is going to want to get up at 6:30am. Her thrush is finally completely gone, and has not come back for several weeks. She was treated with Diflucan, and that did the trick. I also got treated with a strange regimen. I was not having symptoms, but I wanted to get rid of the thrush so bad that I went ahead and started a course. I took a pill every other day for 3 doses, and then once a week for the next six weeks. I still have two more doses, and then hopefully yeast overgrowth will be out of our lives forever. :) She is now riding forward facing in the Baby Bjorn and loves every minute of it, but my back has another story to tell. At her 4 month check up she was meeting all her milestones, and some of the 6 month ones. She was 16 pounds 14 ounces (98th percentile), 25.5 inches (85th percentile), and her head was in the 50th percentile.
