FIVE MONTHS!

Adalyn turned five months this weekend! We can't believe how quickly time has passed. Derek and I recently looked at pictures of Addy when she was born and could not believe how much she has changed in such a short period of time. Addy has began to sit up on her own. She prefers sitting up to any other position and has really began to take interest in the world around her. It is so much fun to watch her examine her surroundings. We often wonder what she is thinking! She has also started to babble much more and loves to tell us "stories." Addy has really taken a liking to cereal and loves to get it all over herself. We have recently discovered that she also loves drinking water from our glass and will stop whatever she is doing when a glass is within reach!

This past week Adalyn and I took made an extended visit to Indiana to visit our families. We rode home with Derek's mom who had been visiting us. Derek joined us in Indiana on Thursday evening. While at home Addy got to spend lots of time with her family. She spent all of Friday with Grandma and Grandpa Schum while we went to Holiday World. She also got to experience grass for the first time and enjoyed taking walks in Grandma and Grandpa's yard. We visited Addy's Great-Grandma Heilers several times and Addy had a great time playing with her. Overall, we had a great trip and Addy really enjoyed all of the attention that she received from everyone!

Addy had a great time exploring the outdoors with her Grandma and Grandpa!

Addy is gearing up for the football season! GO COLTS!
