Date: September 4th, 2014 (Happy Birthday Grandma Tina and Aunt Lisa!)
Height/Percentile: 23 inches, 75th percentile
Weight/Percentile: 14 lbs 3 oz, above the 95th percentile!
Sleeping Patterns: On August 18th, Adeline slept the entire night for the first time ever! It was glorious! She's done that about three more times since, but her usual pattern is awake for an hour or two, then nap for an hour or two, all day long.
Eating Habits: Breastfeeding on demand! She's been nursing on one side at each feeding, but during the last few days, she's been nursing from both sides at each feeding! She'll space her feedings out in the morning until the early afternoon, when she'll switch it up to nursing every hour. It gets tedious for me, but it helps her to sleep more soundly when it's bedtime!
New Discoveries: Crying for attention! Which I LOVE! I love how Adeline will go, "WHAA! WHAA!", when she wants something! As soon as I respond to her cry, she'll give me HUGE smiles! She's a little stinker! She has also started sucking on her hands when she gets fussy and is hungry! I'm making sure to stay on top of it because I don't want another child that sucks on fingers for comfort!
Accomplishments: Not sure if it was an accident or not, but she has rolled from her tummy to her back twice! Again, I'm not sure if it was just because her head/face is large and she lost balance and rolled over or not, but I'm proud of her either way!
Places Visited: We've taken Adeline to the doctor's office, A&G's restaurant, Church, a few friend's houses, the Mormon Trail Center and Winter Quarter's Temple in Omaha, Nebraska, Caitlin and Rosalie's school, my Aunt Norma's house in Red Oak, and Walmart!
Loves to: Nurse/Breastfeed, kick her feet and legs, look around, be talked to, coo, be propped up, sit up(with help), have her big sisters talk to her, take baths, and smile!
Doesn't like: Laying on her back, bright lights, getting dressed/undressed, and really loud, sudden noises.
Milestones/Firsts: She is supporting her own head for longer than a minute! She is starting to coo and talk more(I LOVE this stage of her development!)! She can see farther than she could at birth! We know this because when we come into her line of vision, she'll be startled and either start fussing or smiling! Rolling over from tummy to back!
What Mommy/Daddy love: Adeline's cheeks and chins! All of her fat rolls and baby chub! We seriously can not get enough of this little girl!

| I got the little plush back in 2002 from my Grandma and I never opened it from it's original baggie. Until now! What a perfect gift for my Fourth of July baby! She wasn't too thrilled with me taking multiple pictures! Caity wanted in, too! |
