stinky cute

Emma is notorious for making phrases her own.  She constantly calls Adele "so stinky cute" as she grits her teeth and plays with her ears.  Yes, she gets that from me, so I have a hard time reprimanding her.  :)  Poor Adele!

Major update:
Adele has been sick for 4 out of the 6 weeks she's been alive.  (Is breast really best?  That's an entirely different post).  This last cold she's gotten has made her cough so hard that she throws up an entire feeding.  The only good thing about this is that I've pumped a lot and now have a freezer full of milk...just in case I decide to sell it someday (since Adele isn't a bottle fan).  The last day or so she is finally doing much better, which has allowed me to start sleeping at least a few hours at a time.  I no longer have to jump up every time she coughs to see if she's still breathing or needing a wardrobe change.

Adele has started smiling more than a gas bubble smile.  Although I wouldn't say she's entirely aware she's doing it, it still melts our hearts.  She is also trying to make noises, which is completely adorable!  Emma is a tough teacher, though.  She gets frustrated when Adele doesn't mimic her back OR doesn't cover her mouth when she sneezes and coughs. :)

Adele has also acquired some interesting nicknames:  button nose, baby seeter, master turtle, and monkey.  They all mainly refer to the face she is making at that moment.

Adele has actual ROLLS!  At her 2-week check-up, she had already gained 2 pounds.  She then, she's started getting rolls on her legs, which is completely adorable!  Since she's been throwing up a lot lately, she probably is losing some weight, but I'm hoping to fatten her back up in time for her 2-month check.

First real tub time...

...wouldn't be complete without sister.  :)

One Month Old!

I missed her "smile", but here is the ending of it.

Finally got some light on that adorable face!

Emma sporting her booty she got from a friend's birthday party.  She's been watching too much "Hook".

Prepping for their snowball fight

Emma's first snowman of the season...we finally got enough snow!  Thanks, Aunt Jess for the snowman accessory kit...it was PERFECT!

We decided to take a trip to the Grand Canyon since admission was free.  Here we are eating at the Wendy's before the park.  We also ran into a family from our ward...small world?  :)

Beautiful!

It was FRIGID, but that only made it more fun!

Don't worry...Adele was warmer than we were.  She had a onesie, fleece jammies, a winter bodysuit, a wool carseat cover, the sunshades for both the car seat and stroller (forming a tent), and 2 blankets on top.  She was toasty!

Warming up in the observation room...Emma loved the binocs!

At 6 weeks old, we took Emma to Hawaii.  At 6 weeks old, Adele gets to go to the snowy Grand Canyon. Good thing neither kid will remember any of it.  At least we have pics!  :)

Adele's monkey toes that she gets from Mom.  If you put your finger under her toes, she will literally grip them.

Aunt Jenn made this adorable Candy Cane outfit for my December baby.  It's a 0-3 months outfit, and NOW just barely fits.  :)  Thanks again, Jenn...we love it!

 Emma thought Adele's outfit looked like Strawberry Shortcake, so she had to throw on her Halloween costume from last year to match baby sister.

My gorgeous model

LOVE HER!

Turtle tongue...look how long that thing is!

  CUTEST picture!  Yes, they both have their hands like that.  I'm totally blowing this up and hanging it in Ammon's office with the sign, "This is why I have kids".
