Adeline at 3 Months

This little sweet pea is still growing.  Oh, how they grow so stinkin' fast during their first year.  Addie is  coming along perfectly and reaching all the milestones she should be.  To boot . . . she's the sweetest ever and we looooove spending every minute with her.

What is she doing now?

• She is SO full of smiles.  She has a huge smile that is super infectious.
• She now giggles.  She loves to find that giggle and I love to pull it out of her.  
• She is very ticklish.  This comes in handy when I really want to hear her giggles. 
• She smiles big when I kiss her cheeks.  And, let's be honest . . . those cheeks are SO hard to resist.  Even more so when I get a huge smile when I kiss them.
• She must have gone through a growth spurt and has now backed off for a minute because she is eating a little less now.  She eats about 3 ounces per feeding on average. (She was doing 4 on average when I reported last month.)
• The reduction in eating has also resulted in a reduction of sleeping during the night.  She was giving me a good 6-hour stint at night and then going right back to her regular 3-hour intervals.  But, now I'm getting a 4-hour stint and then heading back to the 3-hour intervals.  It's exhausting.  But, I've got to be honest and say that I couldn't be happier that it's Addie that is wearing me out. I tell her almost every morning that it's a good thing she is so cute, because I seriously cannot be mad about having this sweet girlie in my home . . . regardless of sleep deprivation.  I mean, it's nothing that an afternoon Diet Coke can't fix . . . right?
• She loves to follow things with her eyes.  She gets quite fascinated with the mobile above her swing.  And, quite honestly, Evie moves around nonstop and Addie loves to follow her with her eyes.  She also just started watching her toes move.
• She LOVES it when she is sung to.  She will actually start to "sing" with me (which sounds like nonstop coo's) and it's to-die-for.  She often squeals in delight too.
• She loves her one-on-one attention when I just sit and hold her and talk with her.  She talks right back and offers a gazillion smiles too.
• She can totally hold her head up now.

You guys!  She is so darn adorable and sweet.  We absolutely love her to pieces.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day From Two Cuties

These two little cutie pies want to say, "Happy St. Patrick's Day!"  Aren't they the cutest ever!?  We love these two girlies with all that we have!

Adeline at 2 Months Old

Our little Adeline is now two months old!  I might be biased, but I think she is pretty darn beautiful!  She is seriously one of the sweetest little babies.  Her temperament is very easy-going and incredibly sweet and loving.   She adds such a sweet spirit of love to our home.

What is Addie doing now?

• She eats anywhere from 3-6 ounces every 3-4 hours (usually eats 4 ounces, but there are times when she eats less or more).
• She spits up much less than her first month.  I think she's figured out a good pace to eat and does much better.  
• She smiles A LOT when she is awake.  She has such a beautiful smile.  She is a happy, little baby.
• She is still a momma's girl.  She loves for me to be in the room and prefers me to hold her.
• She loves it when Beau comes home from work and will usually greet him with a huge smile.
• Addie LOVES to watch Evie.  She follows her around with her eyes and smiles at her constantly.
• She still loves kisses and loves to be held close.  
• She naps best in the swing and seriously hates the bassinet during the day, but she will sleep great in the bassinet at night. 
• She caught RSV this past month.  So sad!  She wasn't the "nightmare" story you hear about when newborns catch RSV, but it was still awful.  She didn't get hospitalized, but I did take her to the suction clinic twice to have them clean out her sinuses so she could breathe better.  It took her about 10 days to get over it.  It was a LONG 10 days for all of us.  We're SO happy she is healthy now.
• She finally started sleeping a little longer at night.  Just within the past week she started giving me one long stint, usually 5-6 hours, and then it follows with a shorter stint of 3 hours. So, now we feed her twice a night instead of 3-4 times.  It's still exhausting, but it's amazing what one less feeding per night can do for me.
• She started cooing.  Oh, how I love baby coo's!  I can talk to her and she'll coo back.  It's one of my most favorite things at this stage.
• Her head/neck is getting much stronger/steadier.
• She makes great eye contact.  

We took her to her 2-month Dr's appointment and she's growing perfectly.
