Visiting family

This past weekend, we went to visit Derek's aunt, uncle and Grandma. This was the first time they got meet Adelyn! We had an awesome weekend relaxing. We went swimming in Tina and Daryl's pool, got to see Grandma Zivney on her 83rd birthday, played with Tina and Daryl's two cats (Felix and Oscar). It was great!

Addy and her great aunt Tina!

She's a sleepy girl.
Good morning!
We decided to put Adelyn on a floatie in their pool. Big yawn for a big girl!
We call this our "little old man" pose. She is too cute.

She's giggling!!!!!!!

We're in College Station at my sister Mikaela's house, listening to some dance tunes and waving our arms around and Adelyn just thinks it's the funniest thing. My little girl is so grown up.

Yikes...

It's been a really really long time since we've updated the blog! Life is busy and time is flying by more quickly than I would like. Adelyn is 10 weeks old!!!!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks. We have some video to post as well. Aunt Lindsay came to visit us and got to meet Adelyn for the first time! While she was here, we went to the Dollins family reunion together (Derek and Lindsay's Mom's side), and Addy got to meet her great grandparents. Very exciting!

Nova wanted to cuddle with Addy.

Another cooing video

She sure is a social butterfly. We went for a walk this evening and she seems to be feeling a bit better than earlier today, not quite as fussy.



As mentioned in the video, we saw a kitten on our walk and it literally followed us back to our apartment. He was meowing and meowing the entire walk home. Poor little guy was starving, so Derek gave him a little can of food and he scarfed it down pretty quickly. He was still meowing when Derek came back inside, but I think he's gone now. I wonder if we'll see him around tomorrow?

Our two month old

Adelyn was sitting in her boppy and when Derek picked her up, Nova immidiately took Addy's spot. She looks pretty comfy, eh?

Grocery shopping! Addy holds the coupons for us.

Sleeping angel.

Little Adelyn is 2 months old today! It seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital. To celebrate this major milestone, we took Addy to the pediatrician this morning to have her immunizations done... what a party. Poor baby! She got 3 shots and an oral one. The oral immunization was fine, she didn't really like the taste but she swallowed it okay. Then the nurse put her on the table and stuck her little legs with 3 needles. Addy had a delayed reaction to the pain, but once it hit, she screamed bloody murder and hit notes I've never heard her make. She cried SO HARD, honestly the hardest I've seen her cry yet. She did very well though, she only cried like that for about 30 seconds before I got to pick her up and nurse her. That helped calm her down a lot. She's been a little fussy since then and just wants to be held (understandable, of course) , so Momma and Daddy have been indulging her. My poor little peanut, she was so brave. Now she has a Tweety bird bandaid and two Snoopy bandaids to mark the spots!

In other news, she is 22 inches long and weighs 10 lbs flat. She's still pretty little, I think she may be a petite girl. We shall see! Oh ya, and Auntie Lindsay comes to visit us this week! We're so excited for her to meet her little niece. :)
