Growing Baby

Adriel seems to be changing by the minute. She is doing new things all the time....the latest being rolling all across the floor as well as sticking her feet in her mouth. School is out, so I am loving being home with her for a couple of weeks before Summer School starts up. Ben is busy with doing lawn care and leading worship at RVR, but he loves every minute he gets to spend with Adriel and she just lights up when she sees him. Here are our latest pics!

She's gonna be smart!

Learning to sit up all by herself!

This is what happens when I leave her alone with her Daddy and Uncle Lige!

Hangin out in her Bumbo...best invention ever!

Summer Days....well...almost!

The days of summer are fast approaching and we can hardly wait! We are enjoying the warmer weather and love watching Adriel experience the outdoor activities that we love so much. She seems to love being outside and is always content with it - even when it's just sitting out on our balcony. She seems to change and grow with every passing day, so we are doing our best to enjoy every moment. She is the most precious gift we have ever known.

Showing off her strong standing legs!

Ready for summer days!

Loving Life....

We LOVE being parents. :) Adriel is so much fun and we are having a blast watching her grow and change. Ben is an incredible Dad....as we all knew he would be....and Adriel just seems to be completely smitten with him. She gets a big grin on her face whenever she sees him and she loves to listen to him sing and play the guitar. Her latest development is rolling over as well as being SUPER chatty! I think she may have gotten Ben's talkative trait.... ;-) Here are some recent pics!

Life....

We are having the time of our lives being parents! We are so in love with Adriel. She has now been on two loooong road trips...one to Georgia for Ben's cousin's wedding and one to Florida for his brother's wedding. She is a FANTASTIC little road tripper and did amazingly the entire time! Good thing with as many road trips as we seem to take! Here are a few recent pictures

Watching a music video...she was into it...

She loves to sit with her hands folded!

Loves her bath time!

Life with a babe......

Life as parents for these past several weeks has been amazing.....and exhausting. :) We are absolutely loving life with Adriel and we seem to fall more and more in love with her with each passing day. She will be 6 weeks old on Tuesday and already she looks so different than when we brought her home! She is a hearty eater so she's definitely got some chub on her! We are looking forward to a trip to Georgia for Ben's cousin's wedding and then a trip to Florida for his brother's wedding. It will be fun to get to introduce her to family and friends....and we're sure it will be interesting road tripping with a new born! Luckily she loves the car and always goes right to sleep..... Here are a bunch of recent random pictures!

Her sweater is just a little too big!

Funny face!
