Nineteen Weeks

Adalyn turned nineteen weeks old! We started the week off in Montana and then headed west to Washington for the second half of the week.

Adalyn went shooting for the first time. Well, I went shooting for the first time. Adalyn napped in the air conditioned truck while Matt taught me how to shoot a pistol.


Our first activity in Washington was beautiful Whatcom Falls Park. It was so fun to take Adalyn to one of our favorite parks. Matt and I used to spend a lot of time walking the trails while we were dating. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and it was soooo green and lush!

We saw gorgeous hydrangeas (you don't see these in Hawaii)
and Adalyn's first duck sighting


Over the weekend we went to Whidbey Island and headed straight for Coupeville. Our favorite little town right on the water. We were so lucky to have headed down that weekend because they were having their annual arts and crafts festival. There must have been hundreds of vendors there. There were so many unique housewares and gifts. It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.
We even got to see two tall ships in a mock battle. Cool!
Our last stop of the day on Whidbey was to Rosario Beach. I love this pic!

On Sunday we had lots of family and friends over to see Adalyn
Adalyn loved cuddling up with her Great Grandma Ada!
and smiled for her Great Aunt Donna
and was very curious about buddy Oliver and his mom Kristen.

Eighteen Weeks

Eighteen weeks old and boy has it been quite the week for her.
Miss Adalyn started off the week with a trip to the doctor's office for her four month well baby. Her doctor was quite impressed with her. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for length and head circumference. Way to grow girl. You're getting so, so big!
And then before she knew it she was on her first airplane ride. All the way to the wild west in Montana. She did super duper great the whole way. She enjoyed the comfort of a Flye Baby sling in the airplane, which made it nice and cozy for Adalyn and me while we relaxed.


After a very short twelve hours of travel she was in the arms of Grandpa and Grandma Felton. Oh, this is the good life!


It didn't take us long to visit the infamous Staggering Ox for a delicious one of a kind sandwich. This is one of Matt's absolute favorite places to eat. We stopped in several times during our stay in Montana.

Here is Matt with a full tummy of sandwich heaven.

Adalyn was super excited to meet her wonderful Uncle Clayton

And her Auntie Julie and Auntie Billie. That girl is getting love from all sides!

I was excited to be able to see my sweet niece Haylie again.

Adalyn's first ride on the swings with her cousin Haylie. We had a lot of fun. I think there were some definite giggles!

We visited The Museum of the Rockies and Adalyn had her very first dinosaur experience.

Father-daughter love in beautiful Bozeman.

Seventeen Weeks

Check out those sitting skills! I am totally loving this rainbow outfit. So girly! Plus it says "I 'heart' mom"!
Matt was underway this past month with RIMPAC, so like a couple of girls we went shopping. Adalyn picked out a pair of super sweet shades. Isn't she just way too cute!
Matt came home from the underway and we were there to pick him up the moment the ship pulled in. Adalyn was excited to see dad and Matt was just estatic to see his baby girl.

Sixteen Weeks


Man oh man, sixteen weeks already?
Adalyn is finally big enough to fit into some of the dresses I bought for her oh so long ago. I guess I'm still going to have to teach her some lady like manners. This dress came in a two pack with a super cute navy blue and white polka dot onesie with a lady bug applique on it. It was the first baby girl clothes I bought after I found out that we were going to have a girl. Boy does that seem like forever ago!

Adalyn and I pretty much spent this entire week getting ready for Amanda's baby shower. Adalyn was such a great momma's helper. During the shower she enjoyed all the attention from everyone and of course took a nice long nap in the shade of the palms.


Adalyn is starting to enjoy her tummy time a bit  more still. She especially loves the bright colors and shapes on her Hawaiian style alphabet quilt!
This girl is really, really growing up into a little girl way to fast. She has started to sit up while supported. This is just happening way to quickly!
