Milestones

We have a few milestones to celebrate this week. First, Adele turned 5 months old on Tuesday. She gets funner and funner each day. Second, she rolled over by herself for the first time today from her back to her front. Unfortunately for her, she can't roll back!

And finally, she got a new high chair........even though she already had a perfectly good high chair that was given to us. Okay, I'll admit, I was initially seduced by the removable tray that goes into the dishwasher, but I think it was the 6 reclining positions and the asian-inspired fabric design that got the best of me. Two clicks on amazon and two days later the high chair was mine.....I mean Adele's.

Adele's Easter

Adele in her new hat and with her new bunny from her Cleveland cousins. I think she liked them!

Grandma's hand is delicious.

Yes, she was all dressed up in an adorable green dress for Easter. Maybe next year she'll get a feather boa like her cousins! (see below)

A wonderful Easter

We had a wonderful Easter at Steve & Kathryn's house. Some of Jeff's family joined my family and Kathryn's family to celebrate. The food was outstanding (I should have taken a picture!) and the company was better.

The girls got some new Easter finery: traditional easter hats and, what every girl needs on easter, pink feather boas.




Here the girls watch Geoffrey play with the kitten.
Notice the band-aid......score one for the kitten earlier in the day!
Back at our house, Adele enjoys a taste of Aunt Cheryl's sweater. Tasty!

Here Adele and Geoffrey enjoy some cousin time. Aaaah.
Dean, Cheryl and Geoffrey had to return home on Monday. It was so nice to spend some time together.

Breckenridge Ski Trip 2008

Dean (Jeff's brother), Cheryl (Dean's wife), and Geoffrey (Jeff's sister's son) came in late last night for a ski trip in Breckenridge. Jeff drove up and met them for a day on the slopes.



Geoffrey learned to snowboard the last time he came out in 2006. Look at him go now!!


Everyone had a great day!

Sitting Up

She seems kind of shocked that she can sit up now. To tell you the truth, so am I!

Winter Walks

We've been taking Adele for walks in a baby jogger stroller on the weekends. Even though it is cold, the clear rain/wind cover that goes over it, along with her snowsuit, keeps her warm as can be. Thank you Aunt Diana for Adele's new ride. We all LOVE it.

On Sunday we were able to get her to wear her baby sunglasses. She didn't seem to mind them at all. She also wore her new hat from Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Dean. What a nice hat! I'm jealous.


She makes glamour seem easy!

I love this outfit

I think this outfit is worthy of its own post. (Thank you Laura and Avery!)
