About Me

My photo
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!

Week 15...this past week..

After these pictures I am all caught up....hasn't my little beauty grown so much? I just love her to death!

Watching her learning videos from G-Pa and Nana in her Bumbo!
Playing with mommy and daddy on her quilt from Grammie!

Doing some more learning with her flash cards on her quilt!

Hanging out with daddy.....while he works on his thesis!
Hanging out in her Lemon outfit taken a picture for Aunt Christie and Uncle Eric b/c they got me this outfit!



......weeks 12, 13, and 14......

Enjoy! (don't forget to look at the previous post to see weeks 10 and 11)

Here is Adah in one of her little navy and yellow duck outfits.....love love love the ducky outfits!
Is this not the sweetest face you have ever seen? Love her little sailor dress...supporting daddy!
These next few are of Adah's first swim. Great Grandma and Papaw have pool so we took advantage of it while visiting Texas! Adah really missed not having Daddy there to play with us in the pool!


Sleeping on my Papaw while visiting my Great Grammie!

A month in Pictures.....well 2 weeks at a time

To catch up and since I know that Adah is all anyone really wants to see anyways...I am going to upload pictures of her of all the weeks that I have missed since last post...and yes we are crazy and have a folder of pictures of her that Josh had seperated by weeks! A little obsessive...I think so. Hope you enjoy...this is weeks 10 and 11. I will do the others during the next nap...gotta go feed and play with Adah...then we are going for a walk! Its 55 here today!!!

At 10 weeks Adah started to really enjoy tummy time and has gotten even better!
We had to bundle her up one day/night b/c it was FREEZING out...it gets cold here in the mornings and night...and really stays pretty nice all day! Be jealous! :)
Adah LOVES to hang out with Daddy and help him on the computer...I thought she looked too cute this day in her sweet little outfit from her Great Grandma!

Adah Loves her cow print baby legs....and her matching "Got Milk...Moo" bib from Felicia!

Adah is a big fan of the bath tub as I have said before....but HATES to have her hair washed...she actually didn't mind it this particular day...probably b/c she was getting attention from Daddy with his camera!

Josh caught this sweet little sad face when she was waking up from a nap....if you don't pick her up as soon as she wakes...then she loses it! Little Miss Prissy Pants!

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!
