Picture Overload
Nothing new has been going on with us but I thought I would post some pictures. Recently Adelyn has started grabbing at things. She grabs the rattle from my hands and grabs on to her toys. She is also doing a great job at holding up her head!

3 Months Old
So WOW. I can't believe my sweet little girl is already 3 months old! This past month I quit 2, that's right, 2 jobs. I decided I couldn't be away from my baby girl so I left my job of 4 and a half years at University of Phoenix to be a stay at home mom. Then I found a work from home job transcribing audio files but that turned out to be more stressful than staying at UOP so I decided to leave that job too. For now we decided my job is going to be to take care of Adelyn, make sure Joseph has food to take to work everyday, and keep the house clean. And if it comes down to me needing a job, then I'll do it. But for now we think we can make it work on one income.
Adelyn is becoming so much more interactive. She hardly ever looks at the window blinds anymore. Morning time after her first feeding is always the best. That's when she is completely happy. She gives us smiles and tons of coo's. We love it!
The otherday she taught herself how to blow raspberries with her tongue so she's been doing that more than coo'ing. That same day was a big day. In the morning she gave me a little laugh, then a few hours later she was sitting in my lap and sat straight up on her own, and then finally later on is when she started blowing raspberries.
She is getting so strong! When she stretches out her neck she almost always raises her eyebrows. Joseph calls it her turtle face. It's so cute!!
She really loves laying on her mat and playing with her "toys". That's what we call them. She can spend at least a half hour on the floor playing before she starts fussing to say she's done.

Sweet Little Girl
Adelyn is now 2 months old! She is just so beautiful. I love looking at my little girl. I knew that I wanted a baby and I definitely had that "itch" before we got pregnant. But I really do feel like she filled a huge void in my life that I didn't know was there.
Adelyn is my first experience with a newborn. I've never really been around one except for our nephew Aiden. But we were really only with him for a few hours at a time and almost always with his parents. So my first 24 hours with Adelyn was the longest I had spent with a baby. It's an adjustment but I love being with her.
Joseph ended up catching that stomach bug going around on Addie's 1 week birthday. That meant I was the only that could take care of her for a few days. I was so used to it just being me and her that when Joseph's parents came into town it was hard for me to let them hold her. I was so used to taking care of her that it was hard for me to accept help. But by the time they were leaving I depended on them! It was really nice to go take a nap. She wasn't sleeping well at that point so it was nice to sleep during the day. Luckily on the last day they were here she started sleeping well and only waking up once a night.
At 5 weeks she started sleeping through the night. The first night it happened she went to bed at 9 and then I woke up at 3am and figured she would be up soon so I just went back to sleep. Then at 5 I woke up and kind of freaked out because she was still asleep! I didn't know what to do! I went and checked on her and she was fine... just sleeping. I laid in bed debating on what I should do. Then at 6 I went and "accidentally" woke her up. I just didn't know if I should let her keep sleeping. The next night she woke up again at 3am and went back to bed. Then a few nights later she started sleeping through the night. By 6 weeks she was sleeping through the night, every night. It's been nice.
Lately she has been sucking on the back of her hand, sticking out her tongue for fun, and rubbing her eyes when she is tired. All of those things are SO cute! She's also starting to play with the toys that hang from her play mat.
Ever since she was born she has LOVED the window blinds. And now... she smiles at the window blinds more than she smiles at us! She even coos at the blinds more than she coos at us. At first I was really upset about it until she started smiling and cooing at us. The doctor said it's normal for babies to fall in love with blinds and ceiling fans before they fall in love with their parents. This morning was really cute because she I was changing her diaper and Joseph came over and she smiled at him. I loved it! She was also cooing tons at us this morning. She is so much happier in the morning than she is in the afternoon. But that's ok.
Today we had Adelyn's 2 month check up. She's doing great! She's 11 pounds 8 ounces and 22.5 inches long. I love this little chunka munka!!

5 Weeks Old
So I've been really horrible about blogging. I wish I was better
because I don't want to forget things. But today 2 AMAZING things
happened! Well 3. Adelyn turned 5 weeks old, she slept through the night
from 9:15pm to 6am, and she smiled when we sang the "Itsy Bitsy
Spider"! What a great day for our little baby! I wasn't able to get a
picture of the smile, but hopefully soon.
At her 1 month check up she was 8 pounds 4 ounces and 21.5 inches long. She's still wearing newborn clothes because she is LONG AND SKINNY! Seriously? Who does this child belong to? LOL. The only thing newborn she doesn't wear are pajamas because she is too long for those. But her 0-3 month ones swallow her alive.
My dad and aunt Merle came out to visit our sweet little girl and they of course loved her. It was a really nice visit. Joseph's parents also came out a few weeks earlier and that was also a great visit.
While Dad and Merle were out we blessed Adelyn. That was a really special time. It really made me glad that Joseph and I were sealed in the temple because now our sweet little girl is also sealed to us forever.
And because I'm exhausted right now, these pictures are completely out of order and I don't really care :) I'll add a few captions though.
