Drive-In Double Feature! July 13, 2012

Saturday night, Irving and I had plans to go to a drive-in movie theater to see a double feature. I was at first excited… and then I started to get really anxious. The evenings are Adele’s fussy time and I didn’t want to have to stand outside the car all night rocking her to sleep. But Irving convinced me we should give it a try anyways, so we headed out to Pomona to the Mission Tiki Drive-In Theater.

We decided on Magic Mike and Ted. I fed Adele right before the previews started and she fell asleep soon after. Irving held her in his arms while we watched Magic Mike. After that movie was over, I closed my eyes, and ended up sleeping all through Ted! Adele slept the ENTIRE TIME! That’s almost four hours!!

It was SO much fun to get out and do something fun. It was my first time at a Drive-In! We got home close to 1:30am (Party Animals, I know). And Adele slept all through the night! We’ll have to do that again sometime. It was fun!!

Adventures in the land of Bottles July 12, 2012

After four steady weeks of successful breastfeeding… this week we began to experiment with the bottle! I love feeding Adele, but eventually she’ll need to drink from a bottle so I can have an afternoon off, for daycare… or when Mommy just wants a glass of wine! This week, we dove in to test the ~~waters~~ milk.

This was a big deal in the life of a 1-month old baby! She wasn’t quite sure what to think of it at first. We tried at first to have Irving feed her… but I think she was so confused that it upset her. So then I held her so she could smell me, and then we tricked her into drinking. Sneaky!

It took a couple of tries, but I think she’s got the hang of things now. We’re doing 1-2 bottles a day so she gets used to it. She doesn’t love the bottle (it’s not as soft and warm as mom!) but she drinks it when she’s hungry enough. I’m excited for Irving to be able to experience this bond as well. I’m so proud of my little girl!

Anniversary #3 July 11, 2012

I can’t believe that it has been three years since I walked down the aisle to marry this man.

If you told me three years ago that life could possibly get any better, I wouldn’t have believed you. But each year, each day, each moment that passes, I fall more and more in love with him. We laugh, we think, we travel, we discuss… Anyone that knows us knows that we’re a team and that we just enjoy living life together.

Seeing Irving become a father makes my heart swell more than I ever thought possible. It explodes every time he holds her. The love that Adele has for him is so evident too. She squeals with pure baby joy when she sees him, it’s so cute to watch. Note to self: Capture this on video, stat!

Who knew that the cute guy I met at a college party back in 2001 would become the most amazing husband and father to my daughter. I count my blessings everyday to have Irving in my life. He’s one special guy and I just feel so lucky.

Happy Anniversary, darling. Here’s to many more!
