Update #2

You rolled from back to front!!!

Update

As of your 5 month birthday:
-you officially laugh. You used to do just a ha! when you thought something was funny. Now it's official laughter. =)
-you grab your toes. You have tried for so long to get them and now you finally have!

As of yesterday you started trying to roll back-front. You are so close! You just need to swing your legs a little bit farther...

5 Months Old

Miss Adelyn is 5 months old today!? I find that completely and utterly insane. She is growing way to fast and I can't believe she is so big already. Everybody who sees her can't believe she is only 5 months old. They always say she is so alert and always taking everything in.

-You LOVE food. We can't seem to find anything that you don't like.
-You are grabbing everything AND chewing everything.
-If I lay you on your belly on the wood floor you will roll right over but if you are on the carpet you are content just to lay there and chew on toys.
-You are completely 100% a mama's girl. I love it most times but when I leave you with somebody and they put you to bed and I find out you just wailed it breaks my heart.
-You smile at everybody.
-You love to talk. Every once in a while you will wake up in the middle of the night and just talk away. It sounds like a pterodactyl over the monitor.
-You sleep from 7-7 and you take 2 sometimes 3 naps a day. The first two are generally 45 minutes and the last one is half an hour'ish.
-I finally took the head piece out of your car seat. I think you like it a lot better.
-You LOVE LOVE LOVE to stand. We have a jumperoo from Uncle Scott and Aunt Melissa and you could jump in there for hours. OK usually half an hour is your max.
-You love to be outside. Mommy wants to get you a kiddie pool for the deck so we can "lay out" this summer. I'll work on my tan. You can work on, well, being a ghost.
-You love to "swim". We have taken you swimming twice and both times you just love it. You also love to kick in your bath.
-You are such a trooper. As I write this you are going on day two at the hospital. You are entertaining everyone in Papa's room after his surgery.
-You love Kota Bear. Every time you see her you just smile away...we wonder what you think when you look at her ;)
-You are in 6 month clothes. You have some 3 month ones that fit still but those are ones that were big to begin with.
-You rarely cry. When you do you either want to eat or sleep. Or you want your mama.
-I never knew so much poop could come out of one so little. Yet you cease to amaze me every day.
-You have not had one drop of formula yet. A fact I am entirely proud of. You are not a big fan of bottles.
-You are so EXCITED for Baby Lampen to get here. Just 2 more weeks, hopefully.

4 month stats:
height: 25 inches, 75th percentile
weight: 15 lbs 2 ozs, 75th percentile
head circumference: 90-95th percentile, you get your large noggin from the Rogalske side

You are about 16lbs at 5months.



We got these pictures done a couple days ago at the Holland State park.

These are your current baby friends right now. In 2 more weeks you will have another girl friend and in November you will have yet ANOTHER girl friend.

Blogging Hiatus

I have been terrible at keeping up on our blog :( I am going to start doing a better job since I would love to make this blog a book someday!

We have been really busy in the Fitzgerald household and have quite a few new developments! Adelyn is growing like a weed and she is keeping us busy. We have started solid foods and she LOVES it. That girl likes everything. We keep waiting to find something she doesn't like but we haven't been able to find that yet. We have done rice cereal, sweet potatoes, avocado, green beans, bananas, squash and apples. I have also started doing breakfast with her and for that I mash up a banana and mix it with cereal and a little breast milk. I've also been mashing most of her foods with a fork so they are kinda chunky and that doesn't faze her either. She is so laid back!
Eric's has been working 24 hours a week since the beginning of May and now the company is potentially being bought by a Korean company, GNS. We will know at the end of this week if they are purchasing the company or not. If they don't purchase the company Eric, and everybody else at his work, will be out of a job. IF that's the case, then Eric is thinking about going back to school for his Masters in Business.
I have been keeping busy with Adelyn and I have recently, over the past 2 weeks, started running!! I am really excited about this new venture since I haven't been able to run in the past due to a bum knee and asthma. In order to keep either of them from flaring up I have been taking it slow and alternating running and walking during my 2.5 mile "run." I am excited to get my body back and look like I don't have an inner tube around my stomach anymore. I have 3 lbs before I am pre-pregnancy weight but then I would also like to lose another 10 before I would be really happy. Then I would be at what I was when we went to Mexico. I would probably do a happy dance. OK not probably I would be dancing for days.
We had Adelyn's baptism this past Sunday and she did really well, no crying :) We had a lunch over at our house afterwards and had 30 people over! WOW. It turned out to be a really nice day and people could eat outside as well as inside. We got a 6 ft sub from Subway, my mom made cheesy potatoes and strawberry shortcake, a fruit salad, chips and dip and cupcakes. YUM! We didn't have millions of leftovers either, which we thought we would.
