11 weeks old

Her shirt says, "His Little Lamb" and has Psalm 23 on the back. Got it from my God-mother. :)




Adeline had another doctor's visit yesterday for her leftover umbilical cord (granuloma). He zapped it 3 more times with silver nitrate, and it's already basically gone. They weighed her too, just for fun, and she's gained about a pound over the past 2 weeks. She's about 12 lbs.

I started putting Addie into 3-6 month clothes a few days ago. She's too long for the 0-3 month clothes now - especially in the leg area. And besides, I just wanted to start dressing her up in new clothes :).

We went to Emma Krumbee's (apple orchard) down in Belle Plaine last Monday. Was a pretty decent day - just windy. Addie started getting fussy and wanted to be held. So the pictures just show me walking around with her. We were going to try to get a picture of her by some pumpkins or something, but she fell asleep in my arms - must have been pretty tired. If any of you come to visit, we're totally taking you there. They have these carmel croissants. They're amazing.

Phew - being a rock star is hard work.

Stage One of Shots

Addie had her two month check up and all is going well. Part of the umbilical cord never fell off and was kept "alive" via a single vein. At first the doctor said she would need surgery in the next few years to take it off. Then he figured he would try dabbing silver nitrate on it to make it die and fall off. She also had her shots, which she loved. Guess what, she is sleeping now.

Fast asleep after shots and a long walk!

8 weeks old tomorrow

I thought this one was cute of her. I took it earlier this week after a bath. Notice the fluffy hair. :)

Joel didn't have class this morning (woohoo!), so we went for a long walk with the dog. We had to bundle Addie up since it was about 45 degrees outside.

In Mom's bonnet

This was my bonnet when I was little. Addie didn't fit into it too well when she was first born. But she'll be 8 weeks old tomorrow and she's grown a little!
