5 month pictures!
I have been slacking in the blogging lately! I didn't even take Adelyn's 4 month pictures! Oops! But needless to say, she turned 4 months....and THEN she turned 5 months! :)
She is such a sweet girl! She is smiling and laughing most of the time. She can roll over now from her back to her belly. She is learning to like tummy time a little more now that she an push up on her arms and look around.
She is eating solids now and does really well! Her favorite is bananas and her least favorite is peas. I can't blame though, the bananas taste like banana pudding and the peas taste like grass! She is still not sleeping through the night. Maybe she will before she is 12. :( She just gets up once around 3:30 or 4:00 and eats and goes right back down so it's not too bad. she has slept all night a few times, so I know she is capable. I may have to resort to crying it out eventually...but not yet.
Our swimming pool is finished and we are LOVING it. Adelyn loves it and has so much fun in the water. She is a water baby for sure! Here are some pics from the pool!
Shelby is doing fabulous as well. She started 3rd grade this week! Isn't that crazy!?! I was just in the third grade! :) She also got baptized on Sunday!!! :) We all went out to Rose of Sharon, that's where her mom goes, and watched her get baptized! It was so exciting!
Her mom is expecting, so she is going to have a new baby brother or sister in November. She is excited about that too. She had a really good summer. Anica and Caroline visited for several weeks, so she had a blast with them. She is always so sad to see them go!
Well, that was a lot of catching up to do! I will try to do better! Thanks for sticking around to read all that!

3 month pictures and an update
Hi! I have been absent a while! Life's busy! Anyway, now that Adelyn is almost 4 months old, I am just now getting around to posting her 3 month pictures. Here she is...
She is getting so big! We have settled in to a good routine. She is napping and sleeping great. We absolutely LOVE our babysitter! I am so thankful we found her. I feel 100% comfortable that she is being loved on while I am at work!
This is her friend Laney from Ms Carrie's house. She is 8 months old. They are going to be such good friends!
Shelby is enjoying her summer. She is looking forward to her cousins from Thailand coming home for the summer. That's what we are counting down to at our house. "How many days til Anica and Caroline come home?" She is enjoying my new iPad...see...
I never know what I might find on here.
They started on our swimming pool today! We are very excited! Supposed to be done in a couple of weeks. We can't wait!
Here are some more recent pictures. I will try to update more often!

2 Month Pictures and Easter
Happy 2 Month Birthday to my baby girl!! 2 months already?? She is getting so big. She has started to notice her hands and how to make them work. She is batting at toys on the bouncy seat and carseat. Speaking of the carseat, she HATES it. She does not like being confined. Especially if the car is not moving....God forbid the light turn red!! She is learning to use her voice for reason other than crying. :) She is starting to try to talk and to mimic sounds. She goes to the doctor next week, but I am guessing she is getting close to 11 lbs. She is still not a napper. Will not do it unless she is being held. Maybe 20 minutes in the swing occasionally, but not consistently. I am counting on my babysitter to teach her to be an independent napper. :) I will keep y'all updated on that.
Adelyn's first easter was fun! On Saturday, we had an Easter egg hunt with the Presley's at Poppy and JuJu's house. It was lots of fun. Adelyn didn't really get into the egg hunt this year...but next year, she will! Shelby, however, was all about the egg hunt. :) Here are some pictures from that day.
Shelby left us on Saturday afternoon to go to her Mama's. Sunday morning, we all got dressed in our Sunday best and headed to Hopewell to introduce the babies to all our friends there. We got there at 10:55 and they were finishing up. We didn't know they were starting an hour early. So, we jumped in the car and flew across town to First Methodist. We were a little late, but snuck into the balcony unnoticed. Adelyn was an angel. Never made a peep during church! Here is our first family Easter picture. I am sad that Shelby is not in it. :(
