Since April 2nd (3 months) she has slept all night from 9pm to 5am. Now, we put her in bed at about 8 and she sleeps until it's time to get up at 6. Of course we have our days when she's over-tired and harder to get to sleep or she might wake up a little earlier, but she's learning to entertain herself for a little bit and we get her out of bed at 6 to eat. I think she likes this routine!
We had a great Mother's Day together. We did everything on Saturday, because it was so nice. First, we all went out for breakfast with the Rouseys. Jefferson and Adisyn are just a couple of weeks apart, so we like to get together. We were all eating and Jefferson was sitting on mommy's lap, so I decided I'd get Adisyn out too. When I did, I didn't realize she had an explosive diaper, and it got all over me! To make it even more memorable, Mark took Adisyn to the car to change her diaper and we forgot the diaper bag at home! Good thing Paige and Trey had a diaper for us to use! Later, Mark and I went to Falls Park and walked around with Adisyn in the stroller. We went on the hiking trails and it was a little more rough than expected...she didn't mind though! We then planted some trees and flowers at home. It couldn't have been any better (and more memorable)! It was perfect and I couldn't have been happier!

Adisyn had her 1st trip to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC on April 30th. Originally, Mark and I planned on going just to have something to do because he was on vacation and I decided to take a day vacation day off of work. We had no idea that Adisyn would really enjoy it! We brought her stroller, and used that most of the time, but we carried her a lot as well so she could see everything. She loved the penguins! She was actually watching them swim from one side of the tank to the other! I was amazed on how well she did and how interested she was!
She is so much more aware of her environment. She really loves to watch the dogs and when the cat is on the bed with us she will watch him and act like she wants to crawl over towards him. So, I get her on her stomach, let her push, and we "crawl" over to him, and she reaches out for him. When she hears mommy and daddy's voice she looks for us. She's even starting to hold her arms out some, like she wants us to pick her up! She also loves it when daddy reads to her!

Adisyn is now in her 3 month clothes and even though she still fits into 0-3 months, they're getting a little small. Her hair is getting thicker and more noticeable on the top of her head. I'm not quite sure what color it will be, because it's still so light on top and darker in the back. Her eyes are still a beautiful bright blue with long eyelashes! She likes her baths and her favorite toy is a beach ball we have that we do "tummy time" on. She's starting to put things in her mouth now and her favorite thing this far is her hand! You can hear her sucking away! We're trying to introduce her to teething toys so she'll get the hang of it when she needs them.
