Adalyn at 15 months

Took Adalyn for her 15 month shots on Feb. 2. She is 28 lbs and 37.5 inches. She is in size 5 diapers during the day and size 6 at night. She basically wears 2T clothes and size 4 shoes. Still a little chunky monkey. She is finally taking steps but still prefers crawling. The doctor said that most kids her age are only saying 5 words but Adalyn says so much stuff, I cannot even count. The dr. thinks that it makes sense that she is not walking because she is focusing on her verbal skills more than her motor skills. She can only focus on one thing at a time;) It is hard not to worry but when I see her take 8 steps across the room and stand by herself, I don't worry as much. She still keeps me running. On Jan. 27, I sneezed and Adalyn said so sweetly "Bless you!" I was shocked. She floors us with all she says. She definitely recognizes letters and numbers. When I say one, she will start saying two, three...And when I start singing ABC's, she tries to sing with me. So cute! I will make a list soon of all the words when Jason is here to help me so stay tuned...

It's a GIRL!

On Feb. 3, I had my gender check ultrasound, and it is another GIRL! We are excited that we don't have to buy all new boy stuff. Also, Adalyn will have a sister that I never got to have. Poor daddy is outnumbered, but he loves his girls! We had names picked when we went. Josiah Parker for a boy or Maelee Joette/Maelee Jo Katherine for a girl. We are firm on Maelee but are still deciding on the middle name. Mae is Jason's nannie's name and my grandma's name so we knew we wanted to somehow incorporate that. We used Lynn from Jason's mom with Adalyn so I wanted to use my mom's name this time. I like Jo but Jason likes Joette. We shall see...She looked healthy on the ultrasound. Her heartrate was 154. We go back on March 7 for my 20 week appt. where they will do another ultrasound to measure everything. Cannot believe I am almost halfway there--it is flying by!

Baby Sansing #2 is on the way!

On Nov. 20, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! I was in shock that it happened first try this time. With Thanksgiving only 4 days away, I was so excited to be able to tell the entire Renick clan at our Thanksgiving get together. Jason and I are so excited about the new addition even though the kids will only be 21 months apart. It will be crazy at first but so worth it. I am due July 22(6 days after our 7 year anniversary). Praying for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. Cannot wait to see Adalyn as a big sister!
