Dave has started his last semester at KSU. He was approved for graduation in May! YAY! His classes are all going smoothly so far. He has class on Tuesday and Thursday and only one class on Wednesday from 5:30-8:30pm. So he gets to work all day MWF and if he needed a long weekend, he wouldn’t miss any classes. It’s kind of a handy schedule. In our spare time together we are house hunting so we have somewhere to live in Hutch after graduation. :)
If you haven’t already heard, I quit my job at Stifel back in December. We couldn’t work out child care again for this semester, so this was our best decision. I still do a little work for Rachel when she needs me. I am really enjoying staying home with Adelynn though. She is making, what I thought would be the longest semester of my life, into one of the fastest.
During the day she and I try to get out as often as possible, although with all the snow the past couple of weeks, we have been inside most of the time. The library here has several baby reading or music times during the week. The Little Apple Mommies have a few things for us to do every now and then too. I try to go to the Parents as Teachers play group whenever possible, which is every day. But her nap is right in the middle of it, so that makes it a little hard. She really gets her social time at House Church though, with the 7 month old and the 15 month old girls there, now that Adelynn is more mobile, she really enjoys the 15 month old. The ladies in the group have started meeting for lunch on Thursdays so she gets to play with them twice a week now.
Since Christmas, Adelynn has really turned into Miss Personality. She has always been happy and had a mind of her own, but as she has gotten older, her personality has really started to show. She is always smiling and laughing about something. She has always been a content baby, but she is also becoming a little firecracker. She has become really good at entertaining herself, which is good when I need to do something but sad when we want to play with her and she has no interest in us. But - when she does want attention, she does not like being ignored. Her hardest time of day is when her Daddy leaves for work.
She is usually on the go. She crawls everywhere, pulls up on everything and then walks along with help. She is usually petting Bella or chasing Bruce down the hall or under the futon in hopes that he will give her the time of day. No such luck yet, but one day he will have to get creative because she will be walking!
We just took her 10 month pictures, it is impossible to believe that she is almost a year old. The next time it is our turn to blog, we will have celebrated her 1st birthday!
And now for some pictures...

It is hard to believe our beautiful baby girl is already so big!
Cassi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. We really enjoyed our time this weekend with you, Dave, and of course, Adelynn. She is quite a neat granddaughter!!
Love, Pam
Enjoyed the update and the pictures. Adelynn has grown and changed a lot since Christmas. They are so much fun at that age.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pictures. She does look like she is full of it. I'm glad you are going to the library already! I'm hoping maybe I can have a little Great Aunt time when you move back-thinking a trip to the Hutch Zoo would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Cassi!!! It's fun to see pictures and hear all about what is going on. I appreciate that you share how you are feeling about all of the change too :) Love you all!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture in the bathroom---just wait until she's even more mobile! ;) Glad the semester hasn't been too long and I'm excited to have you all closer to home.
