I was clued in to a great website by my sis-in-law, Jess, that has classified ads of for-sale items. I went to it yesterday evening and this morning purchased and picked up a used Bassinet and Baby Swing. I am pretty excited about both. The bassinet folds up pretty good which will be nice for […]

Morning Smiles
I mentioned in a previous post about the precious smiles that Adrianna greets me with in the mornings. I decided that I needed to capture these on video, since they are so adorable. So I did so yesterday morning. Greg then showed me how to download the file to our computer and essentially make a […]
Discovery of feet close at hand
Adrianna is getting close to “discovering” her feet. I have noticed her kicking her legs up higher and higher this past week or two. Yesterday, she had them as high as her face. Pretty soon, I imagine she will discover that she has feet when they are brought forth to the ultimate authority of existence […]
Longer Sleep Time
Adrianna has been sleeping for longer periods at night now. The past few nights she has given us a 6 hour stretch of sleeptime. That is SO nice. I am also learning to recognize when she is needing a naptime during the day. She doesn’t take long naps though unless I am holding her, which […]
Splish Splash
Adrianna is beginning to enjoy her bathtimes. When I gave her a bath a couple days ago, she was beginning to notice that she could pump her legs and move the water around in her little bathtub. Then tonight, she took that acquired knowledge from the previous bath and applied it full force. She splashed […]
The “Thin Baby”
Greg fixed Adrianna’s hair the other day to be parted in the middle. He didn’t use a hairbrush though – he used his bristly chin hair. hehe. We think her hair, when parted like this, looks like the Thin Man’s hair from the Charlie’s Angels Movies.
Big Baby
I took Adrianna in for her “well-baby” checkup today. The doctor said she is doing great in every regard. Adrianna measured out to be 24 inches long and I think she was 11 lbs 14 oz for weight. The doctor said she is in the 80th percentile for her age. I cannot remember if that […]
Bedtime
I think we finally have a bedtime schedule worked out for Adrianna – hooray! And it even involves her sleeping in her cradle for a part of the night at least. We put her to bed at 9’ish after a bedtime feeding and dressing her in her jammies. She sometimes goes right to sleep when […]
Work Trip
Adrianna and I made a trip into my workplace today. It was so good to see my coworkers! Though I haven’t missed working itself, I sure have missed the people I work with. It is funny how much attention a little baby draws. People I didn’t even know came over and wanted to see the […]
Saved by the Pooh
Adrianna, like many babies, is soothed by white noise. Yesterday I was in the other room vacuuming when she started to fuss. So I made my way, with the vacuum still running, into the room she was taking a nap in. The next thing I knew, she was no longer fussing but was instead sleeping. […]
