Aunty Laurie flew in from Chicago to meet her niece!! I know she was dying to meet her after seeing pictures of everyone else holding her this week!

I went into the house to ask one of the boys to take some pictures of me with my sisters…. this was the response I got. HAHA

I think they drew straws and we got some fun shots:

It takes a Village September 5, 2012

They say it takes a village to raise a child. If that’s the case, consider Adele raised.
IMG_5680

All together, Adele has nine second cousins and two aunts on my side of the family. That means there’s a lot of competition for who gets to hold her. No shortage of baby-holding arms this week, that’s for sure.

We tried to take her for a walk, but Adele much prefers to sit up high in someone’s arms. She likes to see out!

Aunty Mikaela gave her this kitty and she is still loving it. I’m not sure why Adele thinks it’s just so funny.

One night we were hanging out at Mikaela’s house and we decided to give Adele a bath. This is what it looks like to have EIGHT people give a 3-month old a bath. (Grammie and me not pictured!)

I think Adele is loving all this attention. She’s been sleeping 11.5 hours straight a night EVERY night since we’ve been here. Good baby!

Adele is fortunate enough to have four generations on both sides of her family. Great grandparents are so special. IMG_5663

My grandmother was in the hospital last week, and when she got out, she couldn’t wait to meet Adele.

It must be so strange to see your daughter… and then your grand-daughter have a daughter of her own!

 

Beach Joy September 3, 2012

We were looking for something to do a few days ago and decided to hit up the beach! The kids are back in school so it was surprisingly empty considering it was close to 80* out!

(Don’t worry, we lathered ourselves with sunscreen and kept Adele covered up as much as possible!

This hat was one of my first purchases when I found out I was pregnant!!! Can’t believe there is a baby in it now!

We put Adele in the carrier and headed off through the sand to the waves!

She LOVED the waves! Not sure if it was the sound or the breeze, but she was pretty psyched to be there.

Who was our photographer for the day? My mom!

So fun!

And now, allow me to introduce you to my new computer wallpaper. (AKA my new favorite picture of Adele)!

Babies smile with such pure joy, don’t they?

 

Play Hard, Sleep Hard September 1, 2012

Another GORGEOUS day on the east coast! Man, how did we end up with a week’s worth of amazing weather?? (Though I’m secretly hoping for some thunderstorms while I’m here. I kinda miss those in LA!)
IMG_5533

Our morning started out with some playtime. First an airplane ride! (Adele loves to fly!)
IMG_5537

Then some ‘Wheels on the Bus’ action! I know, it’s getting crazy over here!

And the fun continued with Grandpa!

I think we wore her out, because by the afternoon, all that playing ended like this!
IMG_5549

Please note: Adele is sleeping. On the floor. And I am not rocking her, holding her, pushing her or carrying her. HOORAY! My baby, who normally never naps like this, slept for a half an hour! Progress!
