Fourteen Weeks

Adalyn turned fourteen weeks this week. My oh my is she a growing girl.

She is barely fitting into her newborn clothes and and all her three month clothes are starting to fit her really well. Which is very exciting for me because she has a ton of cute three month outfits she got at her baby showers that I've been itching to get on her. She is sporting one of my favorite little dresses that she got at one of my showers in Washington.

Thanks everyone for all the cuteness!

Adalyn had a really great week. I was delighted to enjoy her first real giggle. We were sitting on the couch in the living room just talking and smiling when she just started to giggle. I think it might be one of the most wonderful sounds in the whole world. It just melted my heart.

Adalyn very much dislikes her tummy time. She usually just lays there and starts crying or just lays there and attempts to fit her entire fist into her mouth. Not this week though. Out of nowhere she decided she was going to go all pro and prop herself up high onto her elbows and look around, smile and coo. She was doing so well that she was almost able to roll over onto her back. I have a feeling that it may happen in the very near future.

Adalyn got her the first round of the polio vaccine this week and she did amazingly well. Just a couple tears, then some smiles, and then a nice long nap. The last time she had a vaccine it turned out that removing the band-aid proved to be much more painful for her than the actual shot so this time I removed it during her bath time.

Adalyn is getting so active these days that bath time has moved from the kitchen counter (easy for mom) to the bath tub because she was splashing around so much that the kitchen was getting a bath too. Now that she is sitting in her whale of tub bathtub inside of the bathtub she can really go to town splashing all around. She is a real water baby. I can't wait to get her in the ocean for a little play time when she gets a bit bigger. It won't be to much longer.

Unfortunately the Navy did what they always seem to do, and they took our Matthew away from us for three weeks. After saying our good byes at the pier we headed on over to the air force base near the mouth of the harbor to get one last glimpse of the ship before it sailed off into the ocean blue. Matt's ship will be participating in RIMPAC 2010. RIMPAC is the largest international maritime exercise held biannually. Fourteen countries are participating this year. Matt will be super duper busy while they're underway and won't be getting much sleep. He could really use everyone's prayers in the next few weeks.

Adalyn was pretty sad that Dad had to leave (or maybe it was me) so we had to head over to the NEX to get her a cute new snuggle bunny. She is really loving her new pink elephant. Maybe it will be one of her favorites as she grows up.
