More Ada Smiles



Playing In the BobCat

Daddy decided that he wanted to do a bit of digging in the yard today
Tehya thought riding in the Bobcat was "totally awesome!"
This is where our new shed is going to be built
Tehya was a huge help leveling the dirt!

Wednesday

Ada is Five Weeks Old!



Ada is Five weeks old already! Boy does time fly.
She is starting to learn how to smile now - and not only when she has baby gas!
Ada seems to especially like it when we make funny faces at her - she's going to fit in around here just fine!

Ada is Four Weeks Old!



Bubbles are Fun!



Tehya playing with bubbles in the tub -
she made her own princess crown!

Hanging Out with Grandma Diane




Ada decided that Grandma Diane's lap was a pretty comfortable spot to nap!

Princess Ada




Dan discovered that Ada fits perfectly in Tehya's Disney princess chair - and from the looks of her tongue hanging out of her mouth while she is napping I don't think she minds too much!

Tehya is a He-Man Fan!




Dan recently found his old He-Man figures in the attic and washed them up for Tehya to play with - oh my does she have a hoot with them! They have been having a blast playing together with the figures and Dan is busy teaching Tehya all of their names and special powers...Mom is very much out of the loop on this one!

Ada is Three Weeks Old!




Dan's employer Imperial Wall gave Ada a special embroidered onesie for a baby gift - how cute is that? She seemed pretty content in it posing for her three week pictures - maybe she should go into product modeling?

Bathtime for Ada

Ada does not like bathtime very much-she squirms and wiggles and cries the entire time except for when you wash her hair...she calms down and coos when you get to that part! When Tehya was a baby she would cry when you took her out of the water, so it is funny that Ada is so very much the opposite so far. It will be interesting to see if that changes with time.
Ada is much more content when you get her out of the tub and wrapped up in her fishie towel.


Nana Yvonne and Great Grandpa Joe

Ada looks a bit more content in this picture!
And of course Tehya had to pop in for a smile too!

Container Garden

Another anniversary gift from my mom -
the purple container I have been searching for to put on our front steps!

How can you go wrong with a mom like mine?

She even planted it for me!


Flower Bed Reborn

Before picture
Another before picture
After - edging block completed and all planted
After - view #2
After - view #3
A HUGE thank you to my mom who I have to admit did the large majority of the work on this bed while I was still pregnant.
She dug in all of the block and then surprised us with buying all the plants and flowers for our anniversary gift!
I can't wait until next year when they will have a chance to grow for a full season - I know it is going to be beautiful!

Ada is Two Weeks Old!

Hanging out on the couch
