Adeline

Long fingers, long toes
rose bud mouth
and a button nose...

Miss Adeline
























ah, what can't i say about my little peach...she's breathtaking. having a little girl is everything i ever dreamed it would be; a chunky little bundle clad in pink...smothered in pink, if you will. Adeline is so sweet, and just smiles all the time. she's super ticklish too, everytime i try and pull those lumpy little arms through her shirt sleeves, she just can't help but squeal. i love it.

i must say, she truly does have the sweetest disposition of all my children; my boys tend to be demanding and slightly self absorbed ;) but not my sweets...she just goes with the flow. if i so much as look in her direction, she gets a mile-wide grin...the grin is so huge it's almost like her little face can't hold it all! see...




Adeline's brothers absolutely ADORE her. it's so funny and cute. they call her "sissy, sister, or sis"...or "mimmer" (not sure where they derived that one...but leif has given all his siblings their nicknames and they just seem to stick). the boys cheer A on at every turn. she has a bumbo that we put her in to practice sitting up...everytime she's in it they hoop and holler about how great she's doing and they clap for her too. rhoane really likes to coo at her, his favorite is "ooooohhhh siiissy". they all like to snuggle her and want to be the one that sits next to her. now that our "sis" is here...i can't imagine life without her. what a complete and utter joy it is to have her little spirit in our lives. such a blessing.

adeline is currently attempting to roll onto her tummy from her back, and she chats up a storm. i have plenty of video of her, but for some reason my computer is not allowing me to upload it right now -the blasted thing. my favorite is of her in her bouncey...she kicks her left leg really fast and gets to bouncing something fierce. it's the funniest thing ever. she does it every time she gets excited about something. i'll try and post a video of it in the coming days. too cute. she also loves her colorful word book...well, she loves chewing on it ;) and she now weighs in at a whopping 15.2 lbs....what a lumps-o-luv, huh! i could go on and on, because she is simply a dream, but alas i've 4 gremlins to keep after now, and my motherly duties call....

until next post!

ps A colors are pink, peach and sherbet orange, they look smashing on her... ;)
