What is it about a baby’s smile? How can it make you feel like you are on top of the world when you’re overtired, over stressed, haven’t showered, have no food in the house, have no clean clothes, haven’t done the dishes or the laundry, your house is a mess, your hair is a mess, and you have too little motivation to fix any of these things? To me, it is a gift from God that says, “Relax and enjoy this little one. Disregard the dirty dishes and clothes for a little while. They can wait. Watching your baby grow up happy and loved is the most important thing right now.” And I don’t even feel guilty.

Adelyn updates for the week:
1. She found her thumb!! After getting so frustrated for weeks that her ENTIRE fist doesn’t fit in her mouth, she finally found out how to suck her thumb. The only problem is, she hasn’t figured out how to close her fingers into a fist, so she just keeps jabbing herself in the eye and nose.
2. She rolled over! From back to front. She has done it once before, but yesterday, she did it everytime we put her down. So Exciting!! Now if she can figure out how to get from her tummy to her back again, that would make her even happier (she still doesn’t like to be on her tummy too long)
3. She is grabbing at toys! She watches them and grabs at them with both hands. And usually this can keep her busy for a while (meaning like, 5 minutes)

so cute. the best smiles are when they first wake up and are in milk coma! so, addison is now 6 months and still doesn’t want to roll. i freak out all the time about it and the pediatrician just says that it’s not a big deal since she sits just fine. she just has no interest in rolling! that’s my lazy little baby.

It’s so true about a baby’s smile; it makes me smile and relax quicker than anything. She’s getting so big! What a cutie! I look forward to meeting her. Andrew said you guys are coming to Utah soon…Is that true? If so, we will have to do something!
