About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Six weeks old and a check up with the doctor.....


Our little Adah girl is 6 weeks old today. We celebrated by taking her to the pediatrician for her 6 week check up and first round of shots...what a way to spend your birthday! She did such a good job...she did scream and cry as the shots were being given....it was the saddest thing that I think Josh and I had ever seen! She just laid there with her face the brightest/darkest shade of red I had ever seen with tears pouring out of her eyes and mouth wide open with no sound coming out...heart breaking! Never fear mommy soothed her and stopped the tears and daddy made sure that he drove on the bumpy roads so that she would go to sleep! She is doing great now...full tummy and sleeping in her swing....patiently waiting to meet her Auntie Rachel who gets here this afternoon!

6 week stats:

Head circum. : 38cm (40th percentile)
Height: 22 1/4 inches (60th percentile)
weight : 10 lbs 12.5oz (60th percentile)

Doctor said that she looked absolutely perfect...healthy and beautiful!

What else is she doing at 6 weeks:
  • cooing...making "talking" noises
  • loves to lay on her changing table and "talk" to us ( she is happiest there)
  • sleeping 3-4hrs at a time at night
  • following Josh and I with her eyes all the time
  • smiles ALL the time....still haven't been able to catch one on camera
  • likes her carseat now....well only if we are driving in the car...hates the stroller
  • wearing size 1 diapers
  • mostly in 0-3 clothes....few newborn outfits still fit

Adah would like to wish her Uncle Justin and Aunt Lindsay good luck this weekend.....they are running in the Seattle Rock 'n Roll Marathon....this will be Justin's first race!!!!

Can we come back out to see her smile and listen to her cooing? Isn't that the most precious sight to see and to hear!

BTW, smiling all the time is a direct result of good parenting!

I agree with Louann, smiling is good! Hey I was going to tell you, instead of having to email your family/friends pictures just upload all of your pictures to snapfish and then you can just email the whole album, I do one album a month. I edit them throughout the month then upload them and email the album through snapfish to those who have asked for pictures, since we don't live close. Then THEY can pick and choose the ones they want and order them off of there and there are several places you can actually pick the pictures up, like walgreens. Personally I like to order and then they show up at your door :) you don't have to go anywhere. AND you can usually find promotional codes for a % off or free shipping. Just a thought and it would SO save you time.
