Adisyn is now eating solids and it's very exciting. Every week is something new and tastes completely different from the last. Her first food was avocado, then sweet potato, yellow squash, and oatmeal. She really likes all her food, and is so excited to take the next bite. If you're too slow then she gets upset! Avocado seems to be her favorite....but like I said, she just seems to like every part of the whole experience!
This past month we went to our first play group. All the children were about 6 months to 11 months, with 3 boys and 4 girls. It was so cute to see Adisyn interact with the other children. One boy took Adisyn's pacifier right out of her mouth. It's such a great way for her to learn to play, share and interact with other children, because she only sees adults all the time. I love that we have a play group for her to grow with!
Adisyn had her 1st bike ride! Me and Mark love to mountain bike so we got her a little ride along tent so she can go with us (at least on paved trails). We actually can strap her car seat right in it, so it keeps her safe. So far we only have gone around our neighborhood while we try it out, but Adisyn really like it - so much that she went to sleep during the ride! |

It appears that Adisyn lost most (and almost all) of her baby hair. She only has a long patch of dark hair that runs along the bottom of her head. Her hair seems to be quickly coming back in (even though to me it feels like it's taking a long time) and is a light brown and straight. It's strange how all of the sudden the hair that I originally thought was coming in was gone, but I'm glad that her new hair seems to be coming in good!

She is finally fitting good in her 6 month and 6-9 month clothes, although her 3-6 still fit her. I attempted to put a size 2 sandal on her, but they're still too big. She has so many clothes between the 6 and 6-9 month age range and they are so cute! I think she has more clothes this age than any of the others. Most of all of her clothes that we have gotten her have been from consignment. We love shopping for her at consignment shops because we know she's going to grow out of them so quickly. Now, when we go, we look for clothes for her that are a 1 year or more so when we find a good deal we get them. I just LOVE little girl clothes!
We seem to be having a problem with her nap time. This has been going on for some time, she just doesn't like to take them because she just wants to be going all the time. Her morning naps seem to go good because she can sleep for an hour but she doesn't take much of a nap at lunch or later in the afternoon. During the week Kathy (my mother-in-law who watches her during the day) is lucky to get 45 minutes out of her. We still try to put her to bed around 8:00pm and of course some days work out better than others. We have a good routine of when I get home I feed her, bathe her, daddy reads her a story, then he takes her to bed when she's just getting a little "blinky" as we call it. She doesn't like this at first, but then we roll her to her side and rub her back just a little bit, and she settles right in to fall asleep. That works most nights, with some exceptions but we think she does pretty good!
Some new things that she's been doing is getting more excited when she's doing things she likes. She still likes to watch the dogs, the cat and when mommy and daddy get home, she gets really excited as well. She has a cute thing she does when she's happy - she likes to smile, then hide her face really quickly, as if she's shy. It's so cute and it's her way of playing with us. She also enjoys peek-a-boo now and grandma says that Adisyn has actually played it with her a couple of times! Adisyn is a lot more aware of her surroundings and when she hears something, such as the bell on the cat's collar, she turns to look at it. She's learning more and more each day!
