Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurts deep to your core when they are gone? I'm not talking about 'missing' someone, I'm talking about a connection and true heartache and emptiness when you are apart. Well I felt that for the first time last week when Adeline spent spring break at her grammy and granddaddy's house in Knoxville. She had a great time and Mike and I were glad she was able to spend time with them, but oh my, was it hard! Our house was oddly quiet...no "dadadada", "bababa", "tatata", "aaahhhh", or screaming in delight when the dogs enter the room...oh not to mention the HUGE grin when mommy or daddy come into her sight. Mike and I were alone for a week for the first time since Adeline's birth in August. We did actually go out for St. Patrick's Day, which was fun, but other than that, we talked about our sweet little girl and watched her videos all week!
While Adeline was at grammy and granddaddy's, she saw her cousin Catie Beth who she LOVES (and Catie loves her just as much if not more!), she went to an Easter egg hunt, had pictures made with Catie AND cut TWO teeth!! Sorry about that grammy! Yes, Adeline has 2 little razor sharp bottom teeth. They are the cutest things and she wants to try them out on everything, so FYI, don't put your finger in there.
She had a great first Easter. Mike and I met her in Knoxville with his parents and went to church and lunch with her granddaddy's family. She was supposed to start preschool Monday morning, but had a green snotty nose (yuck!), so I stayed home with her. She started preschool on Wed morning. I was dreading it, because Mike was out of town and I didn't want to leave her, but she was immediately excited when we walked in. She wanted me to put her down to play with the friends in the floor and when I did, she smiled and laughed. It made me feel so good to see her laughing. For the rest of the day, I visualized her laughing as I left. Her teacher said she had a great day, but did not like it when her friends would crawl away from her. So I'm betting that she will be crawling in no time!
We went to the helmet Dr Monday while I was off work. He said she is doing great. We will go back in 4 weeks for another check up. We will need some thoughts and prayers that week (April 21st and 22nd). We go to the helmet dr then her cardiologist the next day. She may come off all her heart meds then!!
More to come soon...

Eventful Week
Adeline had a very busy week last week. She went to the helmet Dr, had her 6 month pictures and went to the pediatrician for her 6 month check-up.
She is doing fabulous in her helmet! It doesn't seem to bother her a bit. She is still the happiest baby I've seen and I'm even growing to think it's kind of cute. The dr said her head was growing on the left where we want it to round out. Mike and I also feel like we can tell a difference. We go back again in a few weeks for a follow-up and adjustment.
Adeline was the cutest little thing during her 6 month pictures. She thought it was hilarious and laughed the whole time we were there. We go to look at them tomorrow so I hope they turned out well. I wish you all could have seen her. She is such a ham when she sees a camera!
Her pediatrician appointment went well too. Her Dr said she looked great! She weighs 14 pounds exactly. She has started on a few table foods this week too and of course, she loves everything she has tried!
Adeline will start in her preschool the Monday after Easter. Mommy started back to work today and daddy stayed at home for a change...kudos to daddy for a job well done! I think we are actually Dr appt free for the next 2 weeks! Adeline will go back to the cardiologist in April. We expect it to be a big appointment. So far she has done perfect on her reduced med dosage. She may come totally off her meds in April...keep your fingers crossed!

Babbling at 6 months
Yes, Adeline has mastered "dadadada". She is very proud of it too! She is now also saying "nananana" and "yayayaya", but still no "mama". It's amazing how fast it happened. She literally woke up one morning and started with the "dada" and that's all she wants to do now.
