Eleven Weeks

Adalyn is now eleven weeks old and she is starting to fit into some of her three month clothes. I can't hardly believe she fit into those tiny preemie clothes only a few months ago. She is growing up way too fast.

Adalyn had her two month check-up this week and she is doing outstanding. She weighed 11 pounds 3 ounces and is 22 inches long. It's amazing how fast little girls grow. Her doctor had a hard timing believing that Adalyn was the same intrauterine growth restriction baby she had seen two months prior. She was amazed at how strong and happy Adalyn is and said we were very lucky to have such an easy, laid back baby.

Matt's posing with Adalyn next to the sign we made for him. It had been up for a few weeks and we thought we take a pic with it before we took it down.

Silly Dad

Spent an afternoon in Waikiki. Believe it or not, this is our first picture with Duke! It only took us nearly two years to pose with the statue most people pose with as soon as they get to Waikiki.

At the beach again. It's Adalyn's second home.

Matthew had to go back to work at some point. So on the days he has to spend the night on the ship we bring him dinner. It looks like Matt might be a bit more interested in Adalyn than the Taco Del Mar I brought him.

Ten Weeks

Ten weeks old and Adalyn loved spending time with Dad. Matthew had nine days off after returning from deployment and we tried to get in some fun family activities.

We went to the Honolulu Zoo. Adalyn slept almost the entire trip, but I think she liked the zebras and giraffes behind us.

King Kamehameha Day was celebrated in June and we were amazed by the beautiful leis adorning his statue.

We went to the King Kamehameha Day parade and enjoyed the beautifully adorned royal families and horses. Although, I must say it was no Ski-to-Sea Parade. Parade's in Hawaii are a LOT different from those on the mainland. I particularly missed the marching bands, fire trucks, and shriners.

Once again we made it out to the beach. Matt tried his hand at stand up paddle boarding again.

Then he snuggled up with his favorite little girl!

Nine Weeks

Nine weeks old and it was the week we'd been waiting for for a long, long time. Dad came home this week. Yeah!

The day before Dad came home. All the wives got together to put up a welcome home sign for the ship.

Dressed and ready to go. Let's go pick up Dad!

The ship is pulling in behind us! I can't wait to get my first glimpse of Matthew. There were hundreds of smiles all around on the pier and ship alike.

First glimpse of my honey. He's the handsome one in the center of the pic.

He's getting anxious to get off the ship.

And everything is right with the world again

Looking at his baby girl in person for the first time.

Not sure what we're looking at right here, but we're together so it doesn't really matter.

Finally getting Adalyn into his arms. Don't worry you won't break her.

Posing for a few shots in front of the ship.

Getting some quality father, daughter time in at the beach.

Family photo op. So happy together!

Eight Weeks

Eight weeks old! She's looking a little boyish in this one because she's sporting little boys PJ's. I couldn't help but buy them though because they say 'I give good hugs' on the them and Adalyn gives the very best hugs

ever!

Adalyn enjoyed her very first concert. We watched the Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force show bands with Erika. They really rocked out the park in Waikiki and Adalyn did a lot of dancing. She was really digging the music!

Adalyn is sporting a cute 'daddy's Princess outfit. She can't wait to meet him for the first time! T-minus two days.

Seven Weeks

Seven weeks old. Not sure where the photos with the teddy bear are for this week. Opps, maybe I forgot to take them. But this one is taken on the right day.

Auntie Brooke was still here for most of the week and we made the most of it. We made sure to visit Duke's bar and grill on the beach and we enjoyed cocktails and Hula Pie. We ate the whole thing! It was huge too.

But we mostly just went to the beach

Shade bathing at Waimea Bay Beach Park

Looking for turtles, but we didn't see any here this time. Oh well.

More views of Diamond Head

Pretty in Pink

Adalyn's first stroller. She's looking pretty tiny in it.

Unfortunately Brooke had to go back home to Washington, so it was just the two of us until Matthew came home from Deployment. We enjoyed a Welcome Home Troops Parade in Waikiki to celebrate Military Appreciation Month.

Six Weeks

Six weeks old today!

We were soooooo excited to have Auntie Brooke come visit for a week and a half. We did a ton of fun stuff and Adalyn was able to check out all the sights with Brooke. Here we are overlooking Diamond Head, Waikiki, Honolulu, and Pearl Harbor.

We also enjoyed views of Kaneohe Bay

We didn't miss a single opportunity to get to the beach. Our favorite is Waimanalo

We like Kailua Beach too!

Checking out some scenery at the Byodo-in Temple.

Five Weeks

She's five weeks old and kicking up a storm already!

Adalyn is a bit upset because it is a sad week at the Felton household. We enjoyed Grandma's extended stay, but it was time for her to go home and none of us were very happy about it.

Adalyn celebrated her second holiday. Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Tummy time.

Monkey time.

Four Weeks

Adalyn at four weeks old. She is growing, growing, growing. I love her little lady bug PJ's!

Adalyn has already made it out to the world famous North Shore and visited Haleiwa Town.

And sunset beach too!

Getting all dried off after bath time.

Love Me! Oh, it is so easy to do.
