Look at them now!
It's amazing how much they've grown in the past six months!
They had so much fun playing and sharing toys. I'm looking forward to many more playdates and watching them grow!

Play Date
This weekend, Adeline was invited to a playdate with Mary Ryland. You may remember their first meeting this summer:
Weekend with Grandma
Last weekend, my mom came to visit. Her students had midterms, so she had a couple days off. We had a nice relaxing weekend.
Adeline can sit up all by herself!
She has a new fascination with Sunny. She giggles and wants to pet her!
On Saturday night, she watched Adeline while Rob and I went on a date. It was nice to get out and try a new restaurant. We haven't had a date night in a few months!
What a fun weekend!
8 months
Adeline is 8 months old!
This month she reached a few milestones:
She can sit up on her own and loves to sit and play with her toys.
Adeline loves to stand in her exersaucer.
She also has 2 teeth!
She eats chicken, veggies, and fruit, and she is beginning to feed herself!
She is getting so big so fast.
I just love her little profile.
Here's a shot of her 2 bottom teeth.

Happy New Year!
We headed to Raleigh for New Year's weekend to celebrate Christmas with Rob's family. We didn't have any specific plans for New Year's Eve, but Rob ended up spending the day golfing while the "girls" went shopping. In the evening, we went to a party in Rob's parents' neighborhood. Although we had to come home early to put Adeline to bed, it was fun to show Adeline off to the neighbors and spend the rest of the evening at home.
We didnt take many pictures, but here are a few from the weekend
I'd say the theme of 2011 was Change. Looking back on the past year, it's hard to believe how much our lives have changed. We began the year with anticipation and excitement that we were expecting a baby. In February, we found out we were having a girl and spent the next few months preparing for her arrival. I was showered with gifts from my sweet friends and co-workers. In May, we were surprised with Adeline's early arrival - it was both the best and worst day of our lives. Although I recovered quickly, it was a very critical time and I was so seriously ill, that it has forever changed us. We were so blessed with a healthy baby and my full recovery, and I think our outlook on life has changed. We've learned not to take things for granted, to be more patient, to trust in God, and to be more compassionate. We also realized how wonderfully we are surrounded by amazing friends and family. The summer flew by with Adeline coming home from the hospital, 12 weeks of maternity leave, and returning to work full-time in August - another phase of adjustment and change. 2011 ended with lots of cherished memories of many "firsts" with our precious Adeline. We couldn't be more happy with how everything has turned out. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!

Merry Christmas!
I know I am way behind with blogging - we've been doing a lot of traveling and I am finally home and catching up this weekend!
I'll start with Christmas Eve. We had a lazy day at home and just enjoyed being together.

Adeline hung her special ornament, handmade by Yaya, on the tree.
In the afternoon, we got dressed and headed to the Children's Christmas Pageant at church. It was at the perfect time in Adeline's schedule and because there were so many children, we knew it would be okay if Adeline made noise or we needed to feed her during the service. It turned out perfectly. She enjoyed the music and watching the other children, and we were all able to enjoy church together, instead of sending Adeline to the nursery.
On Christmas morning, we woke up and opened gifts, made a big breakfast, and spent the rest of the day playing with Adeline and watching movies. This was our first Christmas at home, and we really enjoyed spending time with our little family and starting some new traditions.
