Addy and the Bumbo seat!


The Bumbo seat has returned. Adelyn has developed a ton of strength, so I thought it was time to pull out the Bumbo seat. I snapped this one night while I was preparing her bottle. I'm sorry, but look at how cute she is!

This is how we rest....


These two are amazing. They get along so well, and they have so many similarities. They both sleep like this all the time...the other night, Abel climbed up on the couch to lay next to Adelyn. This isn't a pose, he put his arms up and just relaxed next to her while she was snoozing. Needless to say, it's a frequent pose at our house!

Mama and Adelyn Lee


I can't not post this photo. Her smiles are such a joy and in the past couple of days, she has started laughing. She has the sweetest laugh! Ryan snapped this one night and it's just too cute!

Bottle and Fist!



It's funny, Ryan and I are starting to say, "Oh yeah, I remember when Abel did that..." Recently, Adelyn has gotten very independent with the bottle. She'll grab hold of it while you're giving it to her and push it away when she's done. She's also found her fist...something else Abel did right about this same time!

"I take big bite mashed potatoes!"




Abel is so funny. He eats almost anything. It's awesome. Tonight, I made mashed potatoes and meatloaf muffins. He absolutely chowed down...and took huge bites of potatoes. He started announcing, "I take big bite mashed potatoes!" I couldn't help but to snap some photos!

Playmat!



Like all babies, Adelyn used to just lay there on the playmat. She has officially reached the age where she is now interacting with everything hanging from it. Today, she was giggling and cooing as she grabbed all the toys. So cute!

Camp out?


Abel hasn't been sleeping the greatest lately. He wakes up a lot in the middle of the night and needs loving. We'd probably let him work it out, but we don't want him to wake Adelyn up. Anyway, the other morning, I was up feeding Adelyn and Abel decided he wanted to also come downstairs. So, Ryan brought him down. When he got downstairs, he decided he wanted to sleep on the floor...so, Ryan got him a pillow and blanket. Then, he said, "Daddy you do it too." So, Ryan joined him in hopes that maybe he'd sleep a little more! It didn't last long, but sure was a great photo opportunity!

Labor Day




Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Troy, Ohio to visit Ryan's family. Everyone was there including his grandparents. They all had a blast meeting Adelyn (it was the first meeting for his brother, his wife, and his grandparents), and Abel, of course, LOVED playing with Mimi, Bobby, Haley, and Zane! He LOVES cousins! We snapped a bunch of photos, but these are some of the best! Abel was super possessive of Adelyn during the cousins photo...he did not want anyone else holding her!

3 months!


Here's Adelyn's three month carseat photo! She's so stinkin' cute! I'm on a different computer, so I can't put the photos side by side, but she's a big girl....in 3 - 6 month clothes and growing quickly!

I simply can't decide....


The other night, Ryan was getting Abel ready for bed. Each night, he chooses the pajamas he's going to wear. This particular night, he simply couldn't decide. So, he wore his siren pajamas on top and his dinosaur pajamas on bottom. The next night, he wore the opposite. He really looked hilarious!

Kebun and Yoyee



Abel is very attached to his family members and thinks about them often. The other night, we walked in the door and he looked at us and said, "Call Kebun and Yoyee." Those people are my brother, Kevin, and his fiance, Loralie. He loves playing with them, seeing them, and talking with them. So, this post is for them...they were over about a month ago (I know, I'm late posting) and I took these pictures in our sandbox in the backyard!
