When I look back on the past 6 months, it is amazing to think about how far I have come in relation to this whole parenthood thing. I also realize that I left out many details in my previous blog post about those first few days with Adrianna that I don’t want to forget. Before […]

Up in the air
Adrianna has started pushing her little butt up in the air when she is laying on her tummy. So cute. She hasn’t yet figured out how to get her bottom up in the air and push her chest up off of the ground at the same time with her arms. With each little development like […]
Proud of the baby
Greg and I went out to eat at Fazoli’s tonight since our kitchen is still in shambles as we still need to paint that darn second coat. Adrianna was in her carrier and towards the end of our meal she started getting a little fussy. Greg, who was already done eating since he inhales his […]
Exploration outside
Today Adrianna and I sat in the front yard in the shade for awhile to enjoy the beautiful weather. I had fun pointing out different things to Adrianna and taking her hand to feel the texture of the grass beneath our bare feet. Petey also lavished us with much rubbing against our legs, many stray […]
More rice cereal
Friday night we gave Adrianna some more rice cereal; a little less liquidy this time though. She seems to really like it. Probably helps that she hasn’t had any sweet stuff yet, so she doesn’t know what she is missing. She ended up wearing quite a bit of it.
Sitting up
Adrianna was able to stay sitting up unassisted tonight for the first time. Granted, Greg had to help her get into the sitting position. But we are proud of her nonetheless. It won’t be long until she can pull herself up into the sitting position without assistance. She already tries so hard and will grab […]
Teething baby = No sleep
Adrianna has been experiencing the pains of teething. For the past two nights it has caused her to be up crying at pretty much every hour of the night. The only thing that seems to soothe her is being held (while I stand and bounce her) or nursing. Neither one is a great option for […]
First “solid” food
Last night Adrianna got a taste of her first “solid” food. Rice Cereal. It was actually very NOT solid (1 tablespoon of the cereal mixed with 4 tablespoons of breastmilk). But it was her first experience being fed with a spoon and something other than milk or formula. She seemed to like it just fine […]
As if you needed one more reason…
As if you needed one more reason to come visit Adrianna. 🙂
Laughter
Shad and Lynette stopped by tonight on their way back to Springs. They had Annabelle and Maggie with them. Both of their dogs are instantly at home at our place and they usually begin playing with our two dogs immediately after they step foot into the door. Adrianna has been watching Chloe and Molly more […]
