Promotion and Baby

On Friday we attended Mike Hoadley's promotion to 1st Lt. Mike is one of Abe's really good friends here in Santa Maria. Of course we had to go support Uncle Mikey!!


I know that we have already shared pictures of Adeline trying to eat her rice cereal, but here are some more. She has been so funny lately because when she eats, she gets all excited and ends up spitting her cereal everywhere. She is also starting to stick her tounge out all the time when she is happy or excited.



Grandma and Grandpa Barker are in town this week, so I am sure that we will have lots more pictures to share by next week and more fun times :)

So big

Adeline turned 4 months about a week ago, so we were able to start feeding her rice cereal. She is getting really good at it and it is making me feel like she is getting really big!

We are trying to teach Adeline how to sit up. She is not quite there yet. Lets just say that she needs lots of support or she just flops right over.

Last night I was making dinner and set Adeline on the floor by the Christmas tree and the blinds. The blinds because she likes to kick them, and the tree because she loves the lights (and tries to eat the presents). I came to check on her since she was hidden by the couch, and Chloe was sitting next to her. Adeline was grabbing her skin and feet and Chloe was tolerating it. I thought it was pretty funny.

Last but not least, the funniest thing that happened this week was walking into Adelines room and seeing her hand sticking out the side of the crib. Yes I know, my life is not that exciting, but it was pretty funny!

4 month Shot Day

First of all, I had to show a couple of pictures of Adeline on her tummy. In the morning yesterday, I found her on her tummy. I didn't think she could roll over when she was wrapped up like a burrito, but she can! I also found her on her tummy during her nap. Guess she prefers her tummy!

Adeline had to get her 4 month shots today and it was the sadest thing. She was very happy on the table until the Doc stuck 4 shots in both of her legs.

She still had some smiles for me during the day and actually did pretty well

Weekend in Newport

We went down to Newport this weekend and had Aunt Amanda watch Adeline while we went to the temple.

We put Adeline in Johannas Saucer and she loved it!

Here is cute little Jo Jo walking around. She has the cutest little walk and is getting around so well!

Here is uncle Mason babysitting Adeline. Good job Mase :)

Thanksgiving :)

What a weekend! We headed down to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving to be with family. Times are usually pretty relaxing when we go there. We did have a couple stressful things happen however. It took us 8 hours to get there because of traffic when it normally takes 4. By the time we got there, I came down with Mastitis and was sick. That night, Chloe (our pug) got really sick. She was throwing up and had weird bumps all over her. Not too long after that, she was not responding and was about to fall over when she would try to get up. So on Thanksgiving, we took her to the emergency vet and she went into shock. Her heart rate was down and her body temperature was down. The vet began to tell us that Chloe was really sick and she was going to die if we didn't leave her there. 24 hours, IV's, Plasma, Shots, Heating mechanisms, an incision and $1400 later, Chloe is ALIVE! Holy cow, it was crazy.....and expensive :)

We had a blast with the family though.

Check out my slideshow in the next post. We took some family pictures!

New things!

Adeline is now three months old and seems to be getting bigger every minute. The past week or so, she has started to grab and touch things which has been fun. She also loves to lay on her back with her feet up and is getting close to grabbing her toes! She absolutely hates tummy time, but is getting better at it and can hold her head up a little bit more.
