A nice Thanksgiving weekend ...

We had a very nice and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family. We spent Thanksgiving day with Matt and Shannon and Matt's family. The day was full of good food and friends. Kelly headed over to Evansville on Friday after work for the last time :(
She will be moving to Denver in two weeks, which makes me VERY sad. I know it will be a great opportunity for her, but Bran and I have really enjoyed having her so close.
Bran and I have so much to be thankful for this year!!!! We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well.

Trip to Arizona

Better late then never. Adi and arrived home from AZ a week ago. Adi and I had a great time spending time with Gigi and Grandpa while daddy was in Japan. It seems I have been away from AZ too long. I was shocked by the VERY warm weather, and definitely packed too warm of clothes (I'll know better for Christmas). We had a good time visiting with everyone and seeing family and friends.
Adi was able to hang out a lot with her cousins (Will and Kate), which was really fun. My mom had bought the same swing that Bran and I have because our daughter was ADDICTED to it ... that's right "WAS". The day after we got home she had her 4 month appointment and the doctor said "no more napping in the swing". I have retired the swing for a little while so Adi will become more comfortable with her crib. It was really nice seeing my girlfriends while I was home and for them to meet Adi.
We enjoyed our time visiting while Bran was away. Thanks mom and dad for dealing with the sleepless nights while we were home (I think she will do better at Christmas :)

4 Months Old Today

Four month stats:

Height - 24.5 inches (52nd percentile)
Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz (26th percentile)
Head Circumference - 40.5 CM (38th percentile) MANY people comment on her nice round head :)
Bottle - Given up even trying: My new hope is that she will take a sippy at 6 months
Sleep - Waking up sporadically through the night ... tonight will be the start of our CIO (crying it out). The doctor and many others have reassured me that it will be a rough week, but after that we will be very happy we did it. Lets hope next months post says "sleeping through the night"
Milestone - Rolling over both ways daily

I can't even began to tell you what a sweet and wild girl Adi is. We just love her to pieces! Even though the nights have been a little rough her sweet and playful demeanor during the day makes it all worth it. She has been awake more, more interested in her toys, and is really starting to grab for toys and put them in her mouth. She LOVES peek-a-boo. When you do it with her she just laughs and laughs ... it is the cutest thing ever. My goals is to get a video of it when Bran gets back this weekend. I can't believe how much she grows and changes from month to month. I hope you enjoy these sweet pictures of her!!! (I'll be posting pics from our AZ trip this weekend)
