fall cleaning

Recently I decided it was well overdue and I needed to do a major closet clean out! Not only did I need to get rid of some questionable clothing... but I needed to organize so I actually know what I own to make my morning routine go a little quicker and smoother.

after:

 

okay, it might not look like a big change but OH MY GOODNESS it is! Now I just need for Jeff to go out of town and I can start on thinning out his band t shirts!... seriously no one needs that many Metallica shirts!

 

7 months

I promised I would not be someone who started a blog and then did not keep up with it... well my pregnancy blog should have been a red flag. The fact that I couldn't even update every week when I was childless, I have no clue why I thought I would be supermom and add blogging to my daily routine... Where has the time gone? It is unbelievable how quickly the months have flown by. We have been staying very busy with work, daycare, family and friends. Adelyn is now 7 months old this past weekend! She is changing everyday!

Milestones:
-eats in her highchair
-sits up all by herself
-two bottom teeth... and knows how to use them
- says "dada" and Jeff swears she knows what it means... I am still skeptical
-sleeps on her belly
-beginning to crawl... well scoots all over the place
-wears 6-9 month clothes
-97% in height...? 
-still has RED hair!!!!


Tomorrow is Halloween and my little stinker is a goldfish!!

grown up time?

Before Jeff and I welcomed our precious darling into this world, we always made sure to have a great time hanging out just the two of us together and we found that was still possible with our little Addy. When we have a weekend and no other plans we like to spend it at home with no plans and always find a way to have a great time... This was a very good example of that...

It may be 2012 but we still enjoy us some good Rock Band!

FOOD!

If I were my Mom or my Aunt Coll, I would have given Adelyn rice cereal at 4 weeks... Well I was all about waiting until 6 months because that's what "doctors" say... well my doc said screw that (not really) and I let Addy try rice cereal at 4 months and 3 weeks, here are the results...

"you said I can have real food?"

"bring it Mom, I am pumped!"

"ummmm I'm not so sure about this"

"Yeah... no thank you!!"

SUMMER....

Where did summer go...wait where did the last 5 months go? My little stinker will be 5 months next week and I absolutely can not believe where the time has gone. I have been so blessed to have so much precious time with my baby but it is only making it that much harder to leave her! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE her caregiver!! Sandy is such an amazing part of our family now and Adelyn LOVES her already! That does not by any means make it a breeze to leave her every morning at 7am when I am use to spending every moment with her. I do feel that I am adjusting pretty darn well with the help of amazing support at school and even wonderful teachers sharing a cry with me in the mornings, I couldn't ask for more! :)

almost 5 months!

Not only am I adjusting to leaving my little stinker but I am trying to wrap my head around getting back into "school" mode. I have spent a couple of days up there and I am getting more and more excited about this year! Not only am I preparing my classroom but I am thrilled to be around amazing people and have some "adult" conversations! This year will be great! Every year I learn so much from all of my amazing kiddos and I am so very excited to see what is to come for this year!

Adelyn's Baptism

We are so blessed that Adelyn had so much love and support surrounding her in the celebration of her baptism. It was such a great day spent with family and great memories made as always! I am so lucky to have such a close family and it meant the world to you all that were there to support Adelyn on her special day!

Last Friday we celebrated the wedding of my beautiful cousin Cecily and her husband Russell Davis. It was a great way to end a tough week and spend some fun time with my amazing family! I have always grown up being very close to my family and I am so proud to be a "Whitley".

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Davis!
