Roomie Shower, Thanksgiving, & Grandma visits

My roomies had a shower for Adelyn and I last weekend. We had such a fun morning eating good food, opening presents (she has so many adorable clothes), and our conversations were always entertaining. Thanks ladies!

We had Thanksgiving at my parents house this year!

Norman sure loves to give his little sis' lots of kisses!

Great Grandma Wanda came to visit this weekend. Adelyn is lucky enough to have 4 great grandparents. Grandma got lots of cuddle time in before she had to head back to Merrill.

Addie - 5 weeks old

Here are a few recent pictures of sweet Adelyn. She is coming up on 6 weeks old!! It is crazy how fast the time flies. She is an absolute joy. She is now sleeping close to 6 hours, and then another 3 hours at night, so we actually feel pretty refreshed when we wake up in the morning. Her favorite things to do lately are coo, smile when we tickle her feet, and pee and poop on the changing table while dad is changing her. She is also LOVING her swing. She is getting REALLY excited to visit Summerland at Christmas. It's only like 25 more sleeps away! :)

Addie's first Canuck game!!

Addie watched her first Canucks game with Daddy this week. Stefan was able to somehow buy cables, attach them from our computer to our T.V., and be able to watch the game from our couch. The work a Canuck fan goes to, so that a game is not missed!

The picture below is how I found Addie one morning. Stef and I swaddle here every night before she goes to bed. This is how not to swaddle a baby (they are not supposed to un-swaddle themselves in the middle of the night).

Canadian Thanksgiving

We had our 4th annual Canadian Thanksgiving while Papa and Nana were in town!

Canadian Thanksgiving - #2

Adelyn Rae's Baby Dedication

Addie was dedicated on November 9th at our church Cross of Glory Baptist. It was wonderful being able to have both our parents there. Addie wore a mixture of old and new for her dedication outfit. The shoes were from Grandma Meyer, dress from Nana Sue, bonnet from Great Great Grandma Esther, and her blanket from Great Grandma Meyer.

Papa & Nana come to visit Addie

Nana and Papa came to visit from Summerland, B.C., a week and half after Addie was born. It was SOOOO much fun having them here. Stefan was lucky enough to be able to take the entire week off of work. We went for lots of walks, shopping for new clothes for Addie, out to eat, and lots of resting. We can't wait to see them again in only a month. We are heading up there for Christmas. It will be Addie's first trip on an airplane, we'll see how that one goes! :)

Addie - Week 3

This is after SEVERAL attempts to get a family picture. Adding another member to the family makes getting everyone to look at the camera an almost impossible feat.

It is somewhat addicting choosing pictures to post on our blog. Because half of our family lives a plane ride away, we are going to always go on the heavy side!!! :) Addie seems to enjoy eating while she is naked, and man does her belly plump out when she is done. I love how content she looks when she is finished!!

My family resting after a hard days work!

Week 3 - Cute Pics

Whenever my mom comes over to visit, we have our very own professional photo shoot. Lucky for us, they are so much fun to look at when she's all done. Here are a bunch of our favorites!!

Week 1

Norm wakes up with me at every night feeding, comes into Addie's room, and sits on the ottoman while she eats. It's pretty cute and it keeps me company and her awake (he likes to lick her feet while she eats). She got to also enjoy her first Halloween experience, she helped hand out candy and then we went over to my Aunt and Uncle's place to have a chili dinner. I also have found different ways to still get stuff done around the house and bring her along, hence her sleeping in the laundry basket when I'm carrying clothes around! :)
