6 Weeks

Ada is 6 weeks old today!

Personality

Ada makes some pretty cute faces these days. My favorite is the last picture. You can see (and almost hear) the effort it took in lifting her head.

Spring is Near

It is so nice to see some color in the yard! I am looking forward to the coming months with warmer weather, sunshine and a garden full of blooms. Hopefully I will find time to tend the garden this year :)

5 Weeks

Ada is getting cuter and chubbier by the week :)

Bath Time…

Much more fun! The first bath experience was rough so we decided to change a few things which made bath time much more pleasant. First of all, the smartest thing we did was make sure she had a full tummy. Second, we opened up the heat vent which made the bathroom nice and warm. Third, we used an actual tub from Todd’s sister instead of the sink. It’s a learning process and Ada is teaching us well! :)

She did really good. She sat there calmly while we bathed and poured water over her…I think she may have actually enjoyed it!

4 Weeks

Ada is one month old today! I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. I am finding that I am enjoying her more and more each day. She brings me joy even in the middle of the night :) I love our little miracle and praise God for her.

My good friend Jessica gave me a set of onesies with the first six months printed on them. I will have fun with these!

Bathroom Redo

Since I just posted pictures of Ada in our bathroom, I thought now would be the time to share this old post I had saved :) The first picture is how it looked when we bought it, then we painted before moving in which is the second picture. The renovation started in 2009.

We are in the middle of a 2 year master bathroom project. It all started after we felt a soft spot in the floor around the toilet.  Todd ripped up part of the vinyl and found water & mold damage. From there we decided that a new toilet and flooring were needed, but the floor went under the cabinets so we decided to replace those too.

It has taken us quite awhile and we still have a few more things to do, such as replacing the tub, shower tile, baseboards and exhaust fan. I’ll have more pictures when it is all complete, but here is a sneak peak.

Bath Time…

Not so much fun. Whether it be changing her diaper or dressing her, Ada hates being naked and communicates it very well. So giving Ada her first bath was an experience to say the least. A wet, slippery and wiggly baby seems difficult enough, here’s hoping it will get better :)

Family Visit

Here are a few more pictures from when my parents were here. We had a great time even though I was still recovering and couldn’t do much. The one outing we did take was going to Todd’s work and seeing his new office (where the bottom two were taken). Ada also had the pleasure of meeting Todd’s co-workers.

Ada was about two weeks old in these pictures.

Baby Bear

I love this first picture of Ada and my Mom. I also love hats or anything with bear ears attached :)
