One month

-

Adeline is one month!! It seems like she's been here so much longer! Here's a little update of life with Adeline!

At her one month appointment she was 9 lb 8 oz (60th percentile) and 22" (90th percentile). She scored an A+ and really impressed NP Christie with her growing!

Adeline loves her sling and naps really well in it. The brand Lucky-Baby is my favorite thus far. It was with Lilleigh too.






She actually seems to enjoy bath time, as long as she's covered by the warm wash cloth. Can you blame her?


Adeline is a tummy sleeper! She wasn't sleeping as well on her back, so I flipped her. She loves it.

She started out in the moses basket in our room and was quickly moved to the bathroom because she's so loud. Now she's in the crib in her room and sleeping like a champ - 4 to 6.5 hour stretches! I am seeing some pattern in her naps and feedings, but over all they are still pretty unpredictable. 


Lil loooves being a big sis! She has been a big help, and I am super thankful!


We have had lots of visitors this month! Every grandparent has been here at some point! 





Big sis Lil loves her new Snow White costume! Gold glitter is all over our house and Adeline!


When grandmas were here, each taking a week to help, I was able to get a few Lilleigh-Mommy dates in, which we both loved! We did things like go to the play ground, visit the library, eat and play at chickfila, and feed the ducks at the park.


Momma is tired and ready to venture out easily again (ha - does that ever happen??) but we are so so blessed with this little nugget! And so, so thankful! 

We've had lots of friends bring meals, which have been such a blessing! And I have several meals in the freezer for the next couple weeks! And how awesome is this? Our neighbor just dropped off a hot meal randomly! So thankful! It takes a village. :)

Happy Birthday, Bubs!

Today my brother Austen would have been 24. We're only 16 months apart. I loved having a brother so close in age. Growing up I always had a playmate and a partner in crime when it came to picking on our younger two siblings, William and Anabelle. William didn't even come around until 1992, so for years it was just the two of us. And eventually we became 4 (siblings)... and now more... and our sibling love grew. But Austen and I will always have that special bond. For those of you who don't know, my brother struggled with addiction for a long time. Thursday he lost that battle. I can't believe it's only been two days. It feels like it's been an eternity since my mom (SMom, in this post) called me to tell me. I have amazing friends from school that took me home, packed me, booked me a flight, and got me to the airport. Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you. A little about my brother... Austen, "Bubs," was someone that could always mak

Peanut butter and jelly

As an adult, your spouse is typically referred to as your other half. And rightly so. My husband brings out the best in me, and His walk with the Lord encourages me. Sometimes I still can't believe I get to be his wife. My other half he is. Because I can't imagine who I would be today without the example of my husband. And yet, growing up, and for more than half of my life, I had a different other half. There was rarely a time growing up that our names were said apart. It was always "Ashleigh and Austen." Peanut butter and jelly. You just don't have one without the other. I think this is the case so often with siblings, we are truly raised "together." When Austen died, I felt lost. Our family is staggered in sibling pairs. Everyone has their "other half." I lost half of my life's file catalog. He was there, on every card. And he had cards in his file with my name on them. This isn't a perfect analogy. But I felt like half of my bei
