10 Months Old

I can NOT believe that Adlee will be a 1 year old in 2 months!!!  This time has flown by and I don’t even know how I feel about it yet.  She is such a big girl!  Sorry to say though there hasn’t been much celebrating happening here.  Poor Adlee woke up on Tuesday morning not feeling so well.  She and I both have been having bad allergies so I just figured that is what it was.  I went ahead and took her to my Mom’s house.  I called her when I got to school to see if she was any better and she said she needed to call the doctor because Adlee was very fussy (I could hear her crying in the background).  By the time they got to the doctor Adlee had been running a fever for a while.  Turns out my sweet little one has H1N1.  Yes that’s right folks, the nasty swine flu!  It’s kind of running crazy around these parts.  I had several kids in my class with it about 2 weeks ago, and there have been others at Adlee’s preschool this week (although thankfully not in her class).  Anyway, it really has not been as bad as the hype.  She has definitely not felt her chipper self, but after that first day she has been okay.  She hasn’t run any fever today and has played most of the day with no fussing so I would say we have beat it!!!  Now if Jerred or I don’t get it we will really have beat it :)

Not a flattering picture of me, but how sad is this?!?!  This was yesterday morning…we did LOTS of snuggling this week, which I did not argue with her about. 

Now back to the whole 10 month thing.  She is still the happiest baby ever (well, without the flu), and she talks and laughs all the time.  She just cracks me up!!

She has figured out how to do the peek a boo thing all by herself.  And the greatest part is, she laughs more under the towel than she does when she puts it down.  Her whole body shakes with excitement!

This week if she was crying and nothing  I could do helped all I had to do was let Sadie in, and she could do the trick!

And to prove to all the Grandmas that Adlee is actually better here is a video from today!  Notice who she is talking to at the end.  And please ignore the ad at the beginning of the video, it will go to Adlee after there over. 

Cute Baby Girl

Jerred and I took Adlee to the park this afternoon to have a little photoshoot.  She has been in the best mood all weekend, I suppose she is always in a good mood, it just seems like she gets happier and happier every day!!  She is 9 1/2 months now and time is flying by.  She cracks us up, in fact I think she tries to crack us up.  She has all kinds of “tricks” that she does now.  She will dance, clap, show muscles and click her tongue to make noises. Oh, she also fake coughs on a regular basis.  She starts school tomorrow at Memorial Road Sonshine school and I am so excited for her.  I think she is absolutely going to love it. 

Here a couple of the pictures from today!

Guess who's back???

We were both VERY thrilled to see Jerred this afternoon. At the airport Adlee was SO excited. She just kept looking up at him. She would stare for a second and then just giggle!! Now we are just trying to keep him awake so his time doesn't get all messed up.

So your saying there's a chance...

I haven't been mia lately, sorry faithful readers (Grandma's and Great Grandma's)!! My school has now been in session for 3 weeks and I am pooped. Also Jerred decided to leave me for a while to go to Africa so I am doubley pooped. He is coming home this weekend and I could not
be more excited to see that guy!!
Now the reason for this post. I am wanting to win this

Now I do not know Lesley personally, but I do now she makes fabulous necklaces (got one for mother's day) and she is a great photographer!! So check out her site!!!

PS Sorry I am too tired to figure out how to make that link look better like everyone else does.

And Bingo was his name-o!

Adlee has a new favorite stuffed animal!  She received this said animal from an elderly lady from church.  About a month ago right after church was over a man(probably 60’s) came over to me and handed me a nice blue bear and told me his mother wanted my baby to have it(Adlee had made her exit in the middle of church and was in the nursery).  I had seen his mother, the elderly woman, with this bear during church so I went over to thank her for it.  She informed me that she had just won the bear the night before playing bingo and she already had way to many of the stuffed animal prizes.  In fact, her bed was covered in them already so she just likes to give away her winnings these days! 

 

You’re so vain

You probably think this blog is about you, don’t you?     

That’s a mirror on the back of that toy.  She can do this for an alarming amount of time!

The mop has been chopped!

Yesterday was a special day. I finally got my hair cut off for locks of love. I feel like I have been growing it out for so long!! 

While this blog is supposed to document Adlee’s milestones I felt this one counted.  If it weren’t for her, I would have never made it 10 inches!!! Friends, I have very thick hair. Not the kind of thick hair that people might say, “oh, your hair is so thick and pretty!” It is the kind of thick that people say “Oh. My. Word. Your hair is SO THICK!!!” In fact 1 of my hair stylists cursed when she first started cutting it! Here is where Adlee comes in, after I had her I lost SO much hair and I think it has helped the weight so much!!

 

It was a big change, but I LOVE it!!!  Adlee doesn’t mind either!!
