The Essence of Who I Am

Baby girl made one month old on the 18th!  At  her one month check-up she weighed 9lbs 11oz and was 21 inches long. She's getting so big so fast! First Bath! Yaaaaaaawn!  Dylan loves his baby sister. He calls her Adalyn, Addy, Sissy, and sometimes even shortens it to Ad!  Dylan is growing up so fast too! He is now wearing big boy underwear and proud of it! He occasionally pulls down his pants to show everyone that he is wearing them! lol

Today Adalyn is 3 weeks old!  She was born 3 weeks ago on March 18th at 8:18 a.m. (on her due date!)She weighed 7lbs 15oz. At her first week check-up she was 8lbs .05oz and week 2 check-up she was 8lbs 7.5oz. I'm pretty sure when we go again when she is a month old she will be 9lbs! Dylan loves his little sister! He has to be sitting right there to watch when she needs a diaper changed (he will stop whatever he is doing) and he is always peeking in her bassinet to give her kisses. He wasn't too happy when she was first born but once we were home he adjusted well to being the big brother! Add caption Bubba fixing sissy's hat! She either had a dirty diaper or was passing gas! lol Going home outfit! On our way home! The big brother and his little sister! 1 week old! Happy Easter! 2 weeks old Sibling love!

We've been getting Adalyn's room ready for her arrival . . . we have 7 weeks left! We wanted to hang her name above her crib like we did for Dylan but of course wanted it to look girly! So here is what we did: We bought wooden letters to spell her name at our local craft store and a different sheet of scrapbook paper for each letter. I traced the wooden letter on the scrapbook paper and then cut it. I then glued the paper onto the letter using MOD PODGE. After it was glued on, I added a layer of MOD PODGE onto the letter with the  paper on it.  Kevin added the ribbon and little bows! This was Dylan's and this is Adalyn's!

Here are some pictures from the Holidays. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and we're looking forward to what 2013 will bring us! Eyeing his Christmas presents He made sure every piece of paper was off the gift . . . And even put his trash in the trash bag! Neat freak like mommy! Dylan's stocking Mommy's stocking Daddy's stocking Yo Ho Let's Go! Aaaarg! Ready to go visit family! Popping "fireworks" on New Year's Day! Loving it! Check out his new ride his MiMi, Nanny and Uncle Lendy gave him! I think he likes it! Chase me daddy! We told him to pose by his truck. . .  lol I'm 30 weeks! Only 10 more to go until we meet Baby Adalyn!
