All About Adah!

I decided that since I can't seem to post everyday....I will try and post once a week....so here are pictures of Adah this past week (7 weeks old)! Can't believe she will be 8 weeks tomorrow and celebrate her 2 month birthday on Sunday! Adah is super excited about meeting her Auntie Val on Wednesday and spending her first night away from home and daddy on Friday....Adah gets to go to Women of Faith with mommy and Auntie Val!

What is Adah up to these days:

• sleep 6 hours straight(the first stretch of the night)
• finally out of newborn clothes and into 0-3 comfortably
• very alert!
• I love to stare at boys/men (not sure why this is...maybe b/c she loves her daddy so much)
• Smiles and talks like crazy!
• Started to hold my head up (7/4/09)

Enjoy the pictures!

All dressed up in her lady bug outfit for church....sticking my tongue out at daddy b/c thats what daddy does to me!

I love smiling at my daddy...he is so silly!
Adah and boyfriend Parker! Parker is our good friends Amanda and Rob's little man...he is 2 weeks younger than Adah!
This is my favorite spot....in daddy's arms...looking over his shoulder & talking while he plays on the computer!
Playing with mommy on the floor!
Our little firecracker! Not too excited about this picture!
Yeah for mommy and the bows she made me!
Asleep on mommy....not sure how that hand is that way...looks like it doesn't belong to her!

Rub a Dub Dub Adah loves the tub!

At first Adah only liked to take a bath on the little sponge bath thing we got her and would even scream on that...it was even worse when we would put her on the infant part of the tub. About a week ago we decided to lower the infant part and make it so that she could be submerged in the water.....who would have thought that that was the key to her LOVING bath time! These are the pictures of the first bath the "new" way!

In a daze.......

Not so sure at first......
"Hey! This isn't so bad! You aren't going to let me fall all the way in...right?!"
"What's up Dad! I'm just relaxing here with mom!"

All Smiles

Adah loves to smile....especially when she is laying on her changing table and we are standing there talking to her! We have been trying for a couple of weeks now to catch her smiling on camera and haven't quite captured it perfectly but thought we would share a few of the half smiles that we have gotten....

Why so serious?

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!!!!
