Happy Birthday America!!

Adelaide celebrated her first 4th of July in a spiffy set of new duds from her grandma Mona. Thanks a bunch, Mo!

Cute, cute cute.

The paparazzi attacks!

Not exactly a Sean Penn moment, but I don't think anyone wants a camera in their face all the time. : )

The many lazy days of Addie at the pool...

The three stooges

Mom and Dad... where did I get my looks??

OK, John doesn't know that I am posting this, but I want to put on our baby pictures so people can see what we looked like and how Addie got her looks. Here is John.

Here I am....

I have to say that she looks more like John that me. What do you think??

The first step is admitting it.

Hi. My name is John, and I'm a Webkinz-aholic. My best defense is that it is my plan to turn over my collection to Adelaide when she is old enough to enjoy them. I hope. But until then, it is up to me to enjoy them while I can. Also, it is a good way for me to unwind after a long day of work and my responsibilities around the house. And it beats drinking, right?

Who's your daddy?

Here I am with one of the best reasons I can think of to celebrate Father's Day. Everyone is telling us as she gets older she looks more like me. I need to unearth some child photos of me to compare at similar ages(if I can).

2 Month Check-up

Addie had her two month check-up today. Our little girl weighed in at 11.4 lbs. She is at the 50th % in weight. She measured 20 and 3/4 in for the 10th % in length... who'd have guessed!! ;-) And on Monday she will have her shots... ugh! Just keeping you up to date on our slow growing weed!!

Will they get along like this forever?

2 MOONTHS ALREADY?!?!?!?!

Addie turned 2 months old today. I can't believe how time is flying.

Adelaide takes her baby pod for a test drive.

without help.

with help.i dint think it's quite time yet.

Bartender, may I have another, part 2.

She has blue blood in her veins.

I was happy that the one good thing that I did in my life was to bring another Cubs fan into this world. Lets all celebrate the best team in baseball!

Happy birhtday dad!

I was in esteemed company when I had my birthday muffin.

The many mood swings of Adelaide.

In a matter of just seconds she can change her mood, which leads me to ponder, is it a learned behavior or is it genetic?

Bartender, may I have another?

Bath time.

After a massive bout of spitting up after a seemingly yummy supper, our only hope for a clean baby was to hose her down. Here is the happy result.

????????????

Last week, being the end of May in Northwest Indiana, it was of course in the low 50's, windy and wet. It was our last gasp to try on a hat that Courtney knitted whilst on the nest. Although it looked cute, about 12 seconds after it went on, Adelaide began shrieking. Apparently it was a little itchy. Who knew?

And best yet, as I load this picture, I see that it is another one for the middle finger mural! YES!!

Who's who???
