Time flies...

So I haven't posted in a while. Got a little too busy. On Saturday, October 18, Adrienne, my mom, my dad, Margaret and I went to New Jersey for a surprise baby shower for Karissa. I had to miss the Penn State/Michigan game to go, but it was worth it. Penn State won, of course. :) We got to meet Alycia's baby boy, Hunter. Adrienne and Hunter are pretty much the same size even though he is two and a half months older than her. Adrienne also got to meet Aunt Wendy, who held her quite a bit. Karissa was completely shocked, especially when she saw that Alycia came all the way from Utah. It was nice to get to see family members that we don't get to see too often.

On Sunday, October 19, we went to a goodbye party for my cousin Nick. He is joining the Marines and had to report Sunday evening. He will be going to Parris Island, SC. It was very bittersweet. It was nice to see him, but sad to know that it would be the last time we could see him until at least January. Christmas won't be the same. We had him hold Adrienne even though he is not a fan of holding babies.
We miss you, Nick. Stay safe.

Yesterday, October 25, Penn State played Ohio State and won! Adrienne, of course was in her Penn State finest.

We just love dressing her up in her cute Penn State outfits!

Finally, today, October 26, I took some cute pics of Adrienne during her tummy time.She always seems to look like she is flying. :) She just gets bigger everyday. Time is flying by.

Well, I am all caught up now. Hopefully, I will stay caught up from now on. Watch for a costume post after Trick or Treat this week.

Adrienne's Doctor's Appointment

Tummy Time!

Adrienne went to the doctor yesterday to get her shots. It was horrible watching them put those needles in her poor little legs. :( On the plus side, they will keep her healthy. She is now 21 and 7/8 inches long and weighs 10lbs. 13.6 oz. She is getting so big! I had taken off of work so I could be with her in case getting the shots made her fussy. Instead of being fussy, all she did was sleep all day. She only woke up to eat and then she would go right back to sleep. A couple of the vaccines had drowsiness as a possible side effect so it wasn't anything to worry about. She was back to normal today. She spends more and more time awake now. She was awake for two hours straight today before getting fussy and taking a nap. It is so much fun just watching her. I hate to even walk away to go to the bathroom. How ridiculous is that! :)

This is her favorite thing to do, other than eat and sleep that is!

Isn't she just a pretty little princess?

Go Penn State!

Two months already!




So, Adrienne turned two months on Wednesday. She doesn't have her doctor's appointment until next Friday so I weighed her and measured her. She is about 11.5 pounds and about 22.5 inches. What a big girl! She does good at her Grammy's during the day while I work. There is nothing better then when I get there to pick her up and she smiles at me. It is awesome! She is now starting to hold things and immediately try to put them in her mouth. It doesn't matter what it is, that is where it tends to go. :) Sometimes if she is upset, I just let her hold my finger and she calms down. I will post again after her appointment next week.
