Busy weekend/next week

Adelyn had yet another friend born today. Our best friends Kendall and Kyle welcomed Jace Michael Howard into the world today 9-28-08 @ 10:37AM weighin in @ 7lbs 9 oz 19.5 inches long. Of course Bryan and I had to go up and see him today!! He is adorable. B and I think Jace looks like his mommy! he is soo adorable. The Howard's were on top of the world today. Kendall and i joked today that Jace and Adelyn will be ragaddy ann and andy next year for halloween. wouldn't that be cute? Kendall had a quick and pretty easy delivery she said. Mommy, baby, and daddy are doing awesome. (Jace and Adelyn are 3 months apart to the day)

Also miss Adelyn went to her first birthday party/bonfire Saturday night. Drew (Bryan's cousin) had his 5th bday party. LIttle Drewy is the cutest most respectful and well behaved lil guy i have ever seen. he opened up every single one of his gifts and hugged everyperson and said thank you. He is sooo sweet. Adelyn loved getting all the attention while we were there. She especially loved her aunt cindy. (bryan's dads sister in law) She is great w/ kids. We really had a good time roasting hod dogs and smores and spending time w/ the family. We don't get down to Emden, Il very often, but we try as much as we can.

On friday night Adelyn and I went over to grandma Sherri's and helped her decorate her walls! :) they remodeled their house and wanted some advice on where to put things. we had fun. I LOVE decorating even though i dont think I am very good @ it.

The week ahead is going to be a busy one. I am taking a medical coding class on Mondays now after work so that means i wont get home until about 7:30 :( i hate being away from my baby for almost a whole day, but i have to think about our future and making more money so we are able to provide more forher. I am super excited about the class. I was studying tonight and I dont think the class is goin to be easy for me. So i am going to have to hit the books a couple nights a week to pass the class and become a certified medical coder.

Halloweem costume

So we have finally decided that little miss Adelyn is going to be a polar bear for her 1st halloween. I REALLY wanted her to be a lil lamb, but after i bought THE LAST ONE i got it home and decided that I didnt like it that much on her and it was a little snug. & by the time halloween gets here a month from it probably won't fit her @ all. But all in all we are SUPER excited for her 1st halloween. We love showing our baby off! :)

Anyways, now I am back to work we have her on a wonderful schedule. She is asleep by about 9:30 everynight. and might I add she has been sleeping through the night for about 4 weeks now! Bryan and I always joke that we aren't having anymore kids b/c she has been such a good baby that our next one will probaly be terrible. But we for sure want 1 more atleast.

Adelyn's newest things are sucking on her hands, drooling all over all the time, watching every move Bryan or I make, and watching TV. she laughs when we turn her baby Einstein DVD on. She loves it. We also had our 1st trip to Tanners Orchard this year. We absolutely LOVE going out there. (I am sure we will go out there atleast 2 more times before winter hits.) Although lil miss slept the whole entire time. Oh well it will be funner next year.

Well she is out for the night so I had better head for bed as well.

Back to work

Well I have made it back to work and we are all doing fine. Monday morning was VERY tough for me when i dropped her off. Bryan picked her up and said Kimmy said she did wonderful. Said she slept most of the day. ( i think she's going through another growth spurt b/c she has been sleeping a ton) Tuesday-Friday Bryan takes her to the sitter and I pick her up. When i picked her up on Tuesday afternoon she was asleep and when she was brought upstairs she heard my voice popped her little eyes open and gave me a huge smile. That made me feel really good. :) I miss her terribly throughout the day and think of her often, but i have like 5 pics sitting out on my desk so i can see her every which way i turn. and of course ibrag about her allday everyday. I just love my little Tugar! :) Anyways, she is adjusting to her new schedule very well. I get off @ 3:30, pick her up about 3:45, we come home and cuddle and talk about our day (or i talk anyways & she tries to talk back to me) then we cook dinner, eat dinner, get tubby time (which she loves) and wind down. and before i know it, it is time for bed again and we start ALL over again. Since Bryan takes her 4 out of 5 mornings i dont get to see her awake in the AM & i miss that BIG TIME. she is the happiest baby in the mornings. I still go in and give her kisses before I go and try not to wake her up for daddy.

Anyways, on the 28th of this month she will be 3 months already. I CANNOT believe how time has flown by and how much she has grown already. My baby isnt sooo small anymore. But it is about time to get her 3 month pics soon. I can't wait. She did soo good @ her 2 week pics. She is so stinkin cute. (yeah i might be a little bias b/c she's mine) But she has brought so much joy to our lives. we couldnt imagine our lives w/o her. Everything we do is centered around her.

Lately Bella hasnt had much to do with her. she used to try to lick her head and sniff her all the time, but not much lately. she has been a little loner. I think she is feeling left out. Now she is back to being @ home all day by herself again after me and Adelyn being home for 12 weeks. So we have been trying to give her some attention. Well I had better get back to work.

Adelyn's 1st 2 months of life!

I thought we would start a blog so that our friends and family can watch Adelyn grow. Alot of girls from work have these and I thought it would be a great idea to start one for us. Adelyn is already 11 weeks old today!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!! time sure does fly by. I start back to work on Monday 9-15; which has been VERY hard for me. I never thought i would have this hard of a time letting someone else care for MY baby. I know this sounds selfish, but we want her all to ourselves. I don't want to have to let someone else take care of my baby all day while we're @ work... I want to! I must say, I am VERY grateful that i have been able to stay @ home w/ her the first 11 weeks of her life. This is seriously a time i will cherish for the rest of my life. Anyways.. back to her. She just stared this week to love tummy time. she lays on her tummy and lifts here little head up like crazy. she has to know what is going on all the time like mommy. haha i say she is nosey like me! She now belly laughs @ me everyday. she thinks my hair is the funniest thing ever. She is the happiest baby in the morning. she smiles all day long @ us. We have the best baby ever. She only cries when she is hungry or is getting sleepy. When she is sleepy she wants me or Bryan to cuddle with her. and i must add.. she looks just like my husband. I NEVER dreampt she would look like him. For some reason i had it in my head that she would look like a Peterson. All the rest of my 7 neices and nephews favor our side of the family in looks. But not this time. She totally looks like her daddy!! and let me tell you she is a daddys girl already. well we are off to my cousins cookout!!
