1 Year Doctor Appointment

Adrian had her 1 year doctor appt. this last Monday. Everything went good, her physical and mental development is right on track. Some of the things Adrian can say and do now are: Words: uh-oh, Momma, Dadda, ball (kinda), and I swear one time I heard her say kitty, but who knows.
Physically: Adrian walks everywhere, turns off lights if I hold her up, throws her clean diapers away in the trash, likes being read to, drinks whole milk in a sippy, and much more!

The shots went as good as can be expected, but the poke in the finger for the lead test was pretty bad. Adrian did NOT like holding her little finger out so they could fill up a vile with blood. I have never seen it so hard to put a band aid on either. As you can see in the below pic her little wrapped up finger.

1 Year Stats--Height: 30 1/4 (85%) Weight: 22.6 lbs (70%) HC: 17 3/4(50%)

Isn't this the cutest, saddest, little face you have ever seen. She looked so pitiful after her shots, mommy felt really bad for the little bugger!


Birthday Bash!

Last Sat. Adrian had her big 1 year Birthday Party, sportin her Iowa Hawkeye gear. We had about 20 people and a few of Adrian's little friends running around. We had a great time and to top off the night the Hawks won to make it even better. Surprisingly with the big cheers from the basement Sat. night I never heard a peep out of Miss Adrian!

Adrian, Preston, and Kamden all did a good job playing together with minimal toy stealing and tears.


Adrian got lots of new books from the Millang's and the Smith's which Adrian loves so we have been reading some new books, which is nice for a change!

As you can see we had Grandpa's and both Great-Grandma Norma and Jaunita at the party.

Auntie Jamie & Uncle Mark gave Adrian the little Elmo and a giftcard, which bought a cool looking frog humidifier for Adrian's bedroom. Jamie, it works great, I love it!

Kamden helping us open the gift from the Eichmeier's.

This was defiantly Adrian's favorite card, which was from Grandpa Larry. She starting squealing and got all excited.

Little miss b-day girl couldn't wait for me to get her Leap Frog Learning Table out of the box. As you can see she just climbed up on the box to play with it. Mommy just had to show off her little bloomers...oh, look at that little bum.

mmm...that looks yummy!

Yep, it is!!!


Thank you everyone for the great gifts and stopping by to wish Adrian Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Adrian!!

Adrian is officially 1 year tonight at 7:01 pm, it is crazy to think we have made it a year and how different our lives are with Little Adrian in it!
Adrian then... 6lbs. 15 ozs.

Adrian Now...20.5lbs (not official until Monday's appt.)
These are the pics I had taken on Monday from Diana Mandernach of Polk City. I think they turned out pretty good and they were about the price of Target. These are just a few she sent me but I will get a cd of all the pics taken and I can print what I want. I think she really looks like her daddy in the above pic!! In the below pic she was peaking out at the neighbors dog, but it made for a really good candid pic.

Oh, my little french baby!! Wee-Wee

Go Hawks!!

We had troubles getting a smile she keeping walking or crawling away to more interesting things, like camera, lights, and various equipment!

Happy Birthday Adrian, we love you very much!!
Mommy & Daddy

One very happy little girl!

One cozy cuddly little baby

One fresh and clean little girl after her bedtime bath.

Huh, everything looks so different up here!

Adrian loves playing on the couch with the cushions off, she goes back and forth bouncing off the sides.

Go Hawks!!!

It's been a while since my last post... Daddy has been busy helping Eric with re-siding our house. Once it is complete I will have some good before and after pics. Our goal is to have it all done by Adrian's b-day party next Sat. Mommy has a New Hire class at Nationwide she is training so she is always on the go from 8-4:30pm everyday!

Adrian's b-day is fast approaching, on Monday she is getting her 1 year pics taken by a photographer in Polk City. I have an outdoor outfit to get some good pics with pumpkins and the Iowa outfit she is wearing below. I am trying to get her used to the pom-pom, she normally throws and down and doesn't like waving it, but as you can tell in the video she got over that. Also, it is really the first video I have of her walking, I have such a hard time capturing it on tape, as soon as she sees the camera she wants it!!
