Cutest Pumpkin on the Block!

Wordless Wednesday!

Oh The Weekend!

It has been a great weekend! I have enjoyed hanging out with Adlee and Jeremy this weekend.

This was Adlee last week before daycare. She has several Halloween outfits to wear so we have been wearing them for a few weeks.


Friday night we had some friends over. Little Chloe goes to daycare with Adlee and she is so funny and such a little joy. She is one busy little girl and she greets us at the door when we drop Adlee off at daycare. We have recently met her parents and they came over Friday night and hung out and we had pizza. Chloe was our entertainment for the evening.
This picture is funny because Chloe just turned 3 and Jeremy was laying on the floor and Chloe got on the floor right by him and layed down like he was and asked her Dad to take a picture of them with his phone...too funny! Her Mom texted me the next morning and said Chloe had been admiring the picture all morning.


Saturday, Adlee and I had a baby shower to attend for my friend Jackie, whom I grew up next door to and we lived next door to each other for many many years. Jackie is due with their first child in December. I laid Adlee on the floor to play while I wrapped Jackie's shower gift and this is how I found her. I think she was wore out from her play date with Chloe the night before.

We tried to get a good picture of Adlee and I at Jackie's shower. Adlee as too occupied with other things to look at the camera.

Jeremy had to work a tournament at his school so while we were waiting for him to get home Saturday evening we took a few photos:)

Playing in Bumbo!

This picture cracks me up:)

Everything is going in the mouth that Adlee grabs!

Adlee slept really well last night. She went to bed at 7:15 and didn't get up until almost 5, went back to sleep after eating and woke up again around 7:30. She was so tired.

This morning we decided to go have brunch at Jim Gould. I thought this picture of Adlee sleeping in the car on the way there was cute with her toys on her lap.

So, it's Sunday, you know what that means!!! Football, Football and more Football! When we got home we went upstairs to change and came back down and surprised Daddy with the Steelers jersey! We also had to find Daddy's Terrible Towel to toss around:) We have a Big Ben jersey which is fine, but since Big Ben has been kind of a bad boy we debated on if we should put our daugther in it...but until we can get a Mendenhall or Polomolu jersey, we will just be happy with Ben!

Here we go Steelers here we go!

Hanging out with Daddy watching football! Jeremy and I can't even tell you how much Adlee loves football. She will be laying on the floor playing and football will come on and she becomes really focused on the tv. If they switch over to an announcer she continues on with her playing....until football comes back on and she is glued to the tv again! It is actually quite hysterical.

All this football wears a girl out!

Big Ben almost blew it for the Steelers but they ended up pulling out a victory!

While Adlee was taking a little nap today, I made up treat bags for the kids at daycare. It is so much fun, even though Adlee can not partake in the treats, it is still fun to do for the kids as all the kids at daycare are really sweet kids.

The treat bags have lots of goodies in them. They goodies consist of little jars of playdoh, glow stick bracelets, Halloween stickers, a pencil, some M&M's, fruit snacks, gold fish and teddy grahams.

This weekend I had goals of getting a lot of hair bows made. These are not complete, I have not adhered the middle knots on them or adhered the clip or barrett, but this is what I got done between Saturday night and Sunday. Like I said they are not complete and don't look the greatest in the picture but you get the idea.

And these are the bows that I have completed thus far.

This week is going to be a busy week! I am hoping to relax a little bit over the weekend with Adlee and Jeremy since this week will be so busy!

Adlee has her 4 month Dr. appt tomorrow. She will get shots and we hope we get to start her on cereal.

I am looking forward to Friday! Jeremy will get to bring Adlee to my office trick or treating! The office is filled with children of employees and their parents! The kids all end up getting a ton of candy in our office too!

Wordless Wednesday! (Pictures from my Phone)

Someone Missed Her Daddy & Pop Star Tutu

Adlee's Daddy has been gone the last couple of days at a conference and he returned home today. Adlee was very happy when she saw her Daddy! She squeeled in excitement. It was so stinkin cute! One of our neighbors gave her this cute Halloween outfit. We have a few outfits to wear over the next couple of weeks.


On a different note, Adlee's cousin Maggie (a.k.a. Magpie B.) who lives in London is wanting to be a Pop Star for Halloween. I told Darci that I could make her a tutu for her costume so I just finished it and I thought it turned out very Pop Starish!! I also made her a Pop Star headband. I just experimented with that as while I was at Hobby Lobby to buy the tulle for the tutu I saw the sequence elastic and thought it would be very Pop Star looking. I can't wait to see the full costume.

Happy 4 Months Adlee Girl!

Adlee is 4 months old today....10.18.10! So hard to believe it has been 4 months already!
Enjoy the outtakes of our 4 month old photo shoot this morning before leaving for daycare/work.

This picture cracks me up...it is like she is saying "Enough already Mom!"

We tried to get a self portrait but it turned out blurry...oh well:)

Adlee is an absolute joy!! I feel like she is the best baby and just always happy. Unless she is hungry then she will let us know.

Adlee, you are wearing size 2 diapers. They are a little big but 1's are getting too small.

Daddy took you to the Dr. last Monday to get your ears checked and you weighed approximately 15 lbs.

You are still on formula only. We have your 4 month old appointment a week from today so we hope Dr. R will say you can have cereal. I am sure you will love it!

You are wearing 3 month clothing. Give or take a few outfits.

You love daycare and all your friends at daycare. It makes it a lot easier for Mommy to go to work every day.

You still love your little bouncy seat. We sit you in that when you just finish eating to let your food settle and other various times during the day and you just sit there and jabber to us.

You also still love your floor time. You are better with tummy time now and you are holding your head pretty good. Still a little wobbly sometimes but mostly really well.

We also have you in your Bumbo seat and you love it. You still play with your play mat as well. And your Little Tykes adjustable toy.

You have found your voice and you are the noisiest little girl. You often times have your own little party in your crib at 2 a.m. You put yourself back to sleep though.

You still get up one time during the night. We are hoping once you start cereal it will help. Sometimes you will surprise us and sleep straight through but most of the time it is up once.

We start bedtime at 7. It includes a bath, applying "moisturizer" to your face and good smelling lotion, reading a couple of books and night time bottle. We liked to have you in bed no later than 8 but on most nights you are asleep before 8. You go to bed for us really well and are very used to your routine.

We typically have to wake you to get you ready for daycare around 6:45 or 7.

We think you may be teething or starting the teething process. You constantly have your hands or something in your mouth and you drool ALL the time.

You still love your bathtime a bunch!

You had your first cold a few weeks ago and it scared Mommy and Daddy to death:)

You are such a good happy baby. I could go on and on but Mommy is getting really sleepy.

Mommy and Daddy love you so much and are so blessed. We are amazed by you each and every day.

Love you little girl! We are looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Mommy and Daddy has done some Christmas shopping and we have given Santa some hints.

This and That!

We have had a great weekend. I was off on Friday as Adlee's daycare is closed the next 3 Fridays. Our sitter has to have injections in her knee to hopefully avoid surgery. So I took off this past Friday, and the Grandma's are taking turns the next couple of Fridays. I would love to take off all 3 but since I just came back from maternity leave not too long ago, I feel a little guilty asking for 3 Fridays in a row, technically 4 as I was off the Friday before as well.
So this Friday, we had a great girls day. We took Jeremy lunch at school, then we headed to Hobby Lobby to get ribbon to start making hair bows. I am going to attempt this. I have made a few (picture below) and they turned out pretty cute! We also stopped by my Mom's office on Friday before we headed home!


Saturday I got my hair done and Adlee hung out with her Daddy while Mommy was gone for a few hours. We then ventured out to Farm n Fleet Toyland. It was so much fun and I can't wait for Christmas!!!

Today it has just been us girls hanging out at home. We tried out the little umbrella type stroller for the first time that we got for a shower gift. I love it and Adlee fits in it perfect right now. She looked so cute with her little hood up. Stay tuned tomorrow for our 4 month update! Adlee will be 4 months old tomorrow!

Here is my first attempt at making hairbows. Hobby Lobby has their ribbon 50% off and I have practiced with some ribbon that I already have. I bought a ton of ribbon on Friday, this is not even half of what I got! I also got a glue gun and used it for the first time...oh my goodness I love a glue gun!! I want to glue everything:) (Note: the hairbows are sitting on a paper towel as I had just put Fray Check on the ends of the ribbon)

Daddy Daycare!

Jeremy is out of school today so he is keeping Adlee home with him today. Looks like from the picture I just got that she is enjoying her day home with Daddy! She took a long nap, dirtied her diaper, and ate so all is good in Adlee's world:) She gets to stay home with Mommy on Friday as daycare is closed! What will us girls do?

Pumpkin Patch Fun and Other Stuff!

I have been dyin to take Adlee to a Pumpkin Patch. We finally was able to go today. Last weekend was way too cold out and the weekend before she was not feeling well. Now this weekend it is 86 degrees and sunny so we had to worry about not having her in the sun too long. There is a new little pumpkin patch just a few miles south of town. It is called The Farmer's Wife. It is a really cute little place. And well, a farmers wife is running the patch for something fun to do. She was really sweet, she tied ribbon on some of our items. We got several pumpkins and gourds. I love pumpkins! We have them all over the house inside and now real ones all over outside!
I have a ton of cute fall outfits I was looking forward to dressing Adlee in to attend the pumpkin patch but since it was so hot today, I had to find something a little cooler for her to wear!

The Pumpkin Patch wore Adlee out!

Yesterday, I took the day off of work and attended the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana with my friends Erin & Jonathan and Erin's Mom Linda. It was a good time. Erin and I have been going every year for several years now and I always take off Friday to go. Erin is lucky and doesn't have to take off because she has Fridays off already!! Lucky girl!

And of course I had to add some other cute pics of Adlee because I am always getting my camera out so I may as well post most of the pics I take:)

Daycare really wears her out. This is one night after daycare. She tends to take a little snooze in the evenings.

Having some play time on the floor. Let me tell you this little girl is a noisy little thing. She is always hollering now! And very loudly:)

Having some tum tum time!
