30 Weeks

Kayla and I have been looking forward to this nice long weekend.  We’re going to get started on Addy’s playroom today.  We received the floor tiles in the mail and now we’re going to go shopping for some storage solutions.  Our house is already being overrun with stuffed animals and teething toys!  Before we hit the road though I had to take a few pictures of Adalyn playing in the area we’re about to transform.  I just love the one where it looks like she’s rocking the air guitar!  JAM!

Home Video: Teething

I just wanted to post this short (about a minute long) video of Addy chewing on one of her most favorite toys, the Sophie Giraffe.  There’s not  a lot going on with this home movie but I think this, and future videos, will be a great addition to the photos on this site to remind Kayla and I of what Adalyn was like at this time in her life.  If you do decide to watch, be sure to catch the last 5 seconds…hilarious.

Going to the Chapel

The Crew took a trip up to Tennessee this past weekend for a beautiful wedding at Harbor Mountain Inn.  Before the ceremony I looked around for a nice little nook that would make a great father-daughter portrait and asked Aunt Courtney if she would take a few pictures of Addy and I.  I love what Aunt CC was able to capture.  Mucho thanks to Courtney for the image below.  So good.

 

Visit From Uncle William

My long-time friend, William, stopped by today for a quick visit and to meet Adalyn for the first time.  Gosh, I’ve known William since I was just a wee lad back in Elementary school.  While the military has kept us from seeing each other as much as we’d like, when we do get a chance to hang out, it’s like picking up right where we left off.  Life-long friends like him are a rare treasure.

 

6 Months Old

First of all, Kayla and I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the love and support we’ve received from our wonderful friends and family these past few days.  It’s certainly been emotional times at our house as we handled our first sick baby.  But we’re happy to report that Adalyn’s follow up visit with her Pediatrician went very well today.  She is no longer running a fever, her lungs sound good, and all of her vitals/measurements came back normal.  We’re so thankful that things are starting to return back to normal around here.  We even took some time out to take a picture or two of our 6 month old!  Can you believe it?
