My little girl has a voice and she wants it to be known. Though never quiet, Addie has really begun "talking" in the last few days. And this is practically the only noise that populates our house now.
Even at her four month check-up this morning, she had lots to say:
Speaking of which she checked out great! The doctor even mentioned he thinks she'll be physically early since she's already so in motion. Always good to hear. :)
STATS:
Weight - 3d: 7.69 (50.91%) / 11d: 8.16 (50.68%) / 2m: 11.69 (61%) / 4m: 13.5 (44%)

Turned a corner, perhaps? Or maybe I'm just jinxing myself.
The past few days, Adalyn has been a much less fussy baby. She still cries. A lot. Don't get me wrong. But she's now sleeping. A lot. Maybe too much? I don't know, but like my husband says, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
The sleeping a lot thing has led to a happy baby much more often than we're used to. I've snapped more happy baby videos in the past three days than I had in her entire life to-date. Woot!
Here's one such example. :) She was having a grand old time staring at the ceiling fan while mommy got a quick work-out in. Did you hear that? I got a work-out in while Adalyn was awake! This is unprecedented! (The first ten seconds are BO-ring. And the last ten. Oh, AND the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Cell phone camera. 'Nuff said.)
Here are all of Adalyn's stats (old ones for comparison):
3 days old: 7.69 lbs (51%), 20 inches (66%), 13.25" head circumference (20%)
2 months old: 11.69 lbs (61%), 23 inches (63%), 15" head circumference (22%)
She looked great at her appointment. Her shots didn't go over well, which was funny for us because Ben, like, doesn't feel pain. At all of his shot appointments, he would shed maybe two tears and then go back to business as usual. Adalyn screamed this crazy scream and just wouldn't calm down. I, of course, broke into hysterics crying myself. But she's healthy and slowly getting happier, so I can't really complain (ahem - much). God is good.
