Too long...I know!

I do realize that it has almost been a mont since I have blogged....and every week someone reminds me that I haven't blogged. I have considered stopping all together....and then decide that I should just keep up with it. I have also considered making the blog private....but have not yet made up my mind on this yet. I seem to get so many emails, texts, etc. when I haven't blogged in a while yet when I do post no one seems to comment. When I don't get comments I don't know that people are reading! If no one is reading then there is no point in me making time to post.

Why have I not blogged lately....well it is not that I don't have enough time b/c I have time at night once Adah is asleep but I choose to spend that time with my husband. We are only on shore duty for so long until he has to go back to a boat and leave for 6 months or so at a time. During the day I spend all my time with my sweet baby girl...who is growing and changing so much so fast. I don't want to miss a moment with her...whether it is watching her sleep...cuddling her....playing with her....taking her on walks...teaching her....etc.

I'm not going to make promises on when the next time I post will be. I will try to update more often. Right now I just want to spend time with my husband and our baby girl!

How about those who read my blog and would like me to update more leave me a comment....I won't publish these comments but it will give me an idea of who and how many people actually read....also let me know if you would like to continue to read...as I am really leaning toward a private blog.

ADAH:

Adah is now 3 months old. She is getting so big and strong.

• she can support her own head when we hold her
• loves to fly in our arms like superman
• loves to laugh and has to have ALL the attention (she screams until you look at her..not crying but just a loud screeching)
• still wakes up ALOT at night
• loves tummy time and is getting so good at holding her head up
• still in size 1 diapers and 3-6mth clothes
• LOVES to stand...her legs are sooo strong
• hates to take naps...she is our little cat napper! (I blame her daddy for this one)
• She went on her first trip and airplane ride to Texas...and was AMAZING!
• can hold a rattle
• prefers to chew/suck on her hands more than anything else!!! She can soak 3+ bibs a day with her slobber!
• we have to turn the tv off when she is awake b/c she could stare at it all day!

We go this coming Tuesday for Adah's checkup and second round of shots. Josh and I are hoping that this round goes WAY better than last round! I will definitely update after the appointment to give stats on weight/height/etc!

These are all the pictures that I have access to of Adah right now. All the others are on Josh's computer. These are from our visit to Texas...they were taken by my brother Justin and his wife Lindsay! Adah loved meeting all her family in Texas! She and I miss them all like crazy! To say she got spoiled while visiting Texas is an understatement!

Adah waiting for mommy to give her a bath so that she can go to bed! This was at Uncle Justin and Aunt Lindsay's house our last night!

Watching football with Uncle Justin....Justin thinks he is Adah's favorite but its more like Adah is Justin's favorite!
Adah's first professional sporting event! Texas Rangers vs. Boston Red Sox! It was HOT!
Wide awake...trying to stay cool....thanks for the hat Gpa!

Not such a good idea.

Since Adah is awake most of the day now I decided that I would try and take some pictures of her in some of her super cute bow headbands and hats.....not such a good idea! She was not happy AT ALL so I gave her her paci which don't make for as cute pictures but that didn't work for too long either....but I thought I would post what I did get!

Oh and I have been on a posting kick today so there are at least 3 other new posts!

My little chunky monkey!
I love her so much....I can't stand it!

Goodbye Reeses...

This past Friday we said goodbye to our lovely first vehicle purchased as a married couple.....our dear CR-V Reeses! We loved that little car.....but it was indeed too little for us! Josh and I decided that we needed something bigger so we decided to look around and to see what would could get for the CR-V just for fun. We didn't NEED or HAVE to have a bigger car but knew it would be nice now that we have a little babe in a carseat that takes up half the back seat. We decided to go and test drive a 2010 Honda Pilot.....we LOVED it.......and Josh LOVED using his newly developed negotiating skills! We were not going to get a new car unless could get more than what we owed on the CR-V....after about 3 different times of telling them no to their supposed "best" offer they finally gave in to what we wanted for the CR-V...not to mention a lower interest rate on the loan...so we got out of there with the upper hand on those dirty car salesmen....sorry to anyone that reads this that is one...but you know it....ya'll are dirty! The guys at the dealership even asked Josh what he did for the Navy b/c he was such a good negotiator...haha they don't know my husband!

All that said we ended up with a 2010 Honda Pilot...Bali Blue Pearl....4WD....Touring Edition.

Here are a few pics...not the best...but the best I could get with a screaming baby in arms!

Just thinking....

I was watching the news last night like I do every night after putting Adah to sleep and before we actually make it up to bed and it made me think of a song that Val and I heard and sang at the women of faith conference that we went to while she was here and I thought I would share....(you will need to go down to the bottom and pause the song at the bottom of the blog)
