hand me downs

Adler is a lucky little girl, in more than one way, but one is that she is the recipient of all of her cousin Ellie's hand me downs. they are just far enough apart in age that just when Ellie is growing out of onesies and sleepers that Auntie Allison is able to mail them down here for Adler to grow into. This will be lovely if these girls both keep to growing at the same rates. Thanks for the recent package of sleepers we needed them. :)

what's up doc?

Adler had her two month check up today. daddy took her so i just got the call that they were out of the office. she weighed 12 lbs 12 oz and was 24 inches long. she was among the 78th percentile of height and 60th percentile of weight. she had 4 shots and an oral injection. she did pretty well daddy said. there are a few things the doctor is watching for but is not overly concerned about. Adler goes back in two months for her 4 month check up and i am sure there is probably another round of shots. all and all a good check up and growing like she should.

standing tall

Alder is very strong. if you hold her in an upright position she can stand for long periods of time. you do have to hold on to her as she looks like Elvis wiggling her hips and every once and a while she blows a knee but for the most part she will just stand and dance for ya.

look out on the loveseat

well in a weird coincidence Adler has now "got" two of her grandparents on the loveseat. first was grandpa Robertson around xmas time. papa was holding Adler and when it was time for dinner and we were doing the baby trade off we noticed that not only was Adler but papa was covered in poo. again this weekend grandma Scott was holding Adler on the same couch in almost the same area when she was shifting positions for Adler and noticed that both Adler and mam-maw were covered in poo. when this happens Adler gets a bath immediately and the grandparents require clothing changes ASAP as well.

new clothes

we had to get out the size 3-6 month sleepers as Adler has grown out of the newborns and now most of the 0-3 month outfits. her legs are getting long and her feet are so super big that the smaller outfits make her toes constantly curled. so we have retired some and got some new ones out. Now some of the newer ones are still too big and she is swimming in them but that is better than no having enough room to breath. some of the outfits i had in storage were given to Rigby as presents and she never got to wear them as they were too small for at the time they were given. So i am happy to see them get used.

touch down

Adler is now sleeping with her arms up out of her blankets bent at the elbows. she looks like she is signaling a touch down.

manicurist needed

Miss Adler is now flailing her arms both when she is awake and in her sleep. i think she does it when she is looking for her thumb to suck on. the down side to this is she keeps scratching her face, big cuts too. ugh!!!
