Giggles for Daddy!

Two post in one day...watch out! I just couldn't pass up sharing this one with the grandparents/great grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc! Adah laughed for the 3rd time today....I know that seems silly to post about but it was the first time that Josh got to hear her laugh! He was so excited! He was upstairs changing her and all of the sudden he yells "Hun...COME HERE!" I thought oh crap...either she pooped all over everything...there is alot of blood in her stool....etc. I get up there and he goes "I think she laughed"! Sure enough she was laughing at Daddy trying to teach her how to say baa baa! I guess daddy is pretty funny looking! I ran down stairs and grabbed his phone cause it is the easier to take videos with and upload than the camera! Here is a short clip of her laughing a little...by the time I got up there with the phone Daddy wasn't so funny anymore so I had to resort to my trick of putting her foot in her face/mouth!

What a difference a year makes!

Josh and I can not even believe it has been 1 year since we woke up that Friday morning September 19, 2008 and decided that we should take the test....scared to death and excited at the same time I saw this:

Today, exactly 1 year later I woke up not scared but more in LOVE than I could have ever imagined...instead of walking into the bathroom I walked into the "guest" room and saw this:

God is good! Josh and I are so blessed that He chose us to be parents of such a beautiful little girl!

It is hard to believe that a year ago we started this journey and here we are today with a 4 month old!

Growing up so fast....

Yesterday seemed to be so long. I woke up early to drive my friend Amanda and her little one to the airport and of course took Adah with me. It is about a 3 hour round trip drive....and I was soo nervous how Adah would do since she eats every 3 hours like clock work and SCREAMS when it is time and I have not fed her yet. I think I must have prayed a million prayers from the time I woke up to the time we made it back to Monterey...... thankfully Adah was PERFECT! She slept the ENTIRE way! What a champ! Once we got home of course she wouldn't nap anymore during the day b/c she took the longest morning nap EVER and unfortunately I am getting sick and felt like crap all day yesterday and still today! It makes it so hard to play and be happy.....but then again how can you not be happy when you have such a precious little face to look at! Luckily Josh got home a little early and took Adah for a little bit and played so that I could rest for about 30min.!

While Josh was gone to school and Adah and I were playing in her room I started to realize that she was purposely reaching for her toys....I got really excited and started to dangle some in front of her face and sure enough she would grab them and transfer them btw her hands and then put them in her mouth! She is such a big girl! As soon as daddy got home we had to show him her new trick.....and we even got it on video!

Enjoy! (This is a video from today with Josh's phone)
