Hi friends and family! Jake has been begging me to start a blog so I can share photos, videos, and news about Adora for a long time now, and I finally feel up to starting one, which is not to say that I will be very good at keeping it updated! Adora is doing really well. She is almost six-months-old now, which seems surreal to me. On one hand, it feels as if she were just born--on the other, it seems as if she's been around forever!
A typical morning with Adora:
5:15--Adora wakes to nurse and snuggle/sleep with me
6:30--Adora wakes for real and wakes Jake and me up--we play with her in bed (sometimes Jake sleeps while I play with her)
6:45--Adora plays with her toys on the blanket so I can eat breakfast; she rolls all over the place
7:15--Adora and I go for a walk; Jake comes sometimes if he has enough time before work
7:45--Adora and I play
8:00--Adora naps--so do I!
8:30--Adora wakes, we play together or run errands
Adora usually takes about four 30-minute naps a day. She goes to bed between 6:00 and 7:00 and wakes up about 3-10 times a night! Needless to say, I'm always sleep deprived, even on the weekends when Jake lets me catch up a bit by getting up with Adora during the night.
Adora and I just got back from her first trip (besides our move)! We flew to Houston and visited Jonathan and Julie for a week. My mom and stepdad drove out for the weekend. We had a GREAT time. Adora did just as well away as she does at home. She really enjoyed all of the new sights and sounds. Flying was so much easier than driving with her, although it probably took just about as long from start to finish. I'm really glad we went! We are planning another trip this weekend to Oklahoma City to visit the Yandles!
Here's a video of Adora's first food. In retrospect, I should've made the rice cereal a little thicker. I think she was having trouble manipulating it because it was so runny, but that's how the "books" said to make it for baby's first taste! She LOVES eating--she's had rice cereal, oatmeal, green beans, carrots, zucchini, avocado, plantains, potatoes, & water chestnuts. This video is from a little over a month ago.
Adora decided to dress like Daddy for the day! (What's with the hair?)

Such a sleepy baby!
