Where did our baby go?

On her way to her first day at daycare - I felt the same way!

Adelyn has survived her first few weeks of daycare - really I'm the one that has survived.  She seems to enjoy it.  When I dropped her off the first day she looked at me a little strange while the lady took her from me, and I said goodbye.  I saved the tears until the car and drove to work crying while telling Tim I wasn't gonna make it through the day.  When I picked her up that first day she was sleeping which made me happy that she was able to rest.  Since then she doesn't mind it when I drop her off, and she smiles when I come to pick her up!  Ady even has her first boyfriend, Bennett.  I laid her next to him one morning on the mat, and either when I drop her off or pick her up she usually is right near him smiling.  I noticed yesterday that his carseat sits next to Adelyn's.  Daddy isn't really pleased about this, so he has had some chats with Adelyn telling her to take it easy since she has a history of turning boys into putty!  My only complaint with daycare is how quickly they blow through diapers.  The first day I picked her up they had gone through 5 diapers - What?!?   Apparently we aren't changing her enough, they change her every 2 hours where we do it every 3-4 hours.  Oh well as long as she doesn't have any issues and she seems happy, it works for me.

After first day of daycare!  So tired!!!

Love, Love Daddy and Ady time

 This past weekend Adelyn learned a new trick, she rolled from her back to her belly.  So now she can roll either direction, which she now knows because we placed her on her blanket while making dinner and looked back from the kitchen only to see her 3-4 feet from where she started.  I guess we are going to have to start watching her a little closer!  Time for outlet plugs and other baby proofing for the Sass house.  Just this week she is starting to learn the advantage of this by rolling over and reaching for a toy (or watching the soccer game).  We even woke up yesterday morning to a baby sleeping on her belly.  She also found her voice over the July 4th weekend, and is really enjoying the sounds she can make.  She loves to smile and talk to people even if they are complete strangers.  Lately her favorite thing to do is hangout in her stroller while we shop, she usually ends up with at least 2 people by her side making funny faces.  She is grabbing her toys and playing with them too.  I'm not sure where my baby went, but it seems like she is changing so much now!  It is unbelievable that next month she will already be 6 months.  My next post will have her 5 month pictures, I haven't had time to post them yet!

Seriously mom!

Such a happy baby!

 My absolute favorite thing is that beautiful smile!  She definitely knows how to control people with those baby blues and that smile.

Diva in training

 My growing baby has outgrown those adorable sunglasses, and moved on to her next pair.  She has learned to grab the glasses from her face and fling them around.  So she now can't wear them in the car unless someone is in the backseat, since I had to pull over the other day because she was about to poke her eye with them.  She also has outgrown those cute little headbands though I'm not really sure they every really fit.  Unfortunately the one thing that is obviously from me is her big head, no comments please!  With her losing her hair it would be nice to have her wear headbands, but they usually leave an indention that doesn't go away for several hours.  Although the other day a lady at Hy-Vee said that she was adorable, and too pretty to be a boy.  Tim was holding her while this lady was oohing and aahing over Ady, telling people walking by to look at this beautiful baby girl.  She ended the conversation by telling Tim she must look like her mom.  Tim was like ummm thanks for the back-handed compliment.  I told him to relax because I thought it was sweet!  It is always nice to hear compliments on our Ady!  Now we just have to schedule her 6 month photos so our family can enjoy updated pictures of our beautiful baby girl!
