Our serious girl....about 4 weeks old in the above pics.
Adeline is 8 weeks old now....wow has time flown! Keeping with up my blog has been difficult but I will get a few words in while she is taking a morning siesta:)
Some recent milestones:
Adeline's first social smile was at 4 weeks and has been increasing since then...mommy had been away at Uncle Lou's funeral all day and when she got home, Adeline was awake on daddy's chest. When mommy came to say hello...Adeline's eyes lit up and she gave a big grin!!! It was amazing.
Adeline's favorite time to smile and coo is right after feedings, on the changing table, during play time, and in the tub....well, pretty much all the time...she is one happy baby!
During baths, Adeline kicks, splashes and coos...she has so much fun in the tub and we always get big crocodile tears when she has to come out. We sing "Splish, splash Adeline's taking a bath..." and "splish and splash and wiggle and squirm...just like a little rolly-poly worm" and it always makes her smile.
Adeline holds her head up and looks all around during tummy time. Yesterday, she was batting at toys for the first time!
Adeline is a GREAT sleeper....she goes down for the night around 10 pm and wakes up around 6:30 am...thank you sweet pea!!! Mommy sings "Now I lay me down to sleep, Pray the Lord my soul to keep, Guide me through the longest night, Wake me in the morning light, Amen." (just like her mommy sang to her when she was a baby before going to sleep)
We started cloth diapering at 6 1/2 weeks old and it is going pretty well!
Adeline got her hearing aids on Oct 29th. It was an amazing day. The walk we took around our neighborhood and Seneca Park with her hearing aids in is etched in our memories...her expressions, her smiles, her cooing, her interest in our conversation, her engagement...she was fully aware and drinking up sound...what a gift. We got back from the walk and sang her a song...her eyes lit up and ours teared up...and she smiled the entire time. Adeline is enjoying this world more fully now for sure!!!!!!!!
