Since Adalyn is getting bigger (last pediatrician's visit: 10 1/2lbs, 22 1/4" long), we've been squeezing in more playtime! She is slowly becoming aware of her surroundings and getting distracted by things that she's not yet a part of. Once she does become a part of something interesting though, she's not entertained by it for long. Sigh. Below we have pictures of tummy time:

| Michael gets in on the action. Michael also had a lot of fun one weekend setting up her room! It's actually starting to look like a baby room now. |
For now, we mostly have playtime in the swing, or as Michael and I call it, the poo chair. The poo chair is aptly named since almost every time she sits in it, she poos. In the video below, we were having lots of fun and smiles, but then things started to turn serious (poo time is serious business round these parts).
Finally, I was able to capture our usual playtime in the video below.

So when Mommom was visiting for Adalyn's birth, she found an awesome maneuver to distract and entertain Adalyn - the silly airplane hold (thanks, Mom, still works)! It's not only silly because of the sound effects you have to make but because of the blank expression she has on her face whenever you do it. Behold, the power of AIRPLANE!
Part of the bedtime routine is for Michael to take Adalyn and ever so slowly change her diaper as I get ready for bed. This is a part of "Daddy time," and Adalyn really enjoys it. The sounds and faces she makes are so cute that it's really hard to take sometimes! And by hard to take, I mean hard to keep myself from swooping her up in my arms and NOM-NOMming her.

The other day, I was holding Adalyn but really needed to put some laundry in the washer - without her help. I really didn't want to wait for her nap since the things needed to be put in the washer were things she had recently overflowed with poo; one of the things being her poo chair. So since I couldn't set her down in her poo chair since I was about the clean the cover, I had to set her down on the ground right next to the washer. At first, she wondered why everything looked different, but then she had a blast! She looked so cute and tiny on the floor that I had to take pictures.

| Don't think you'll be able to get all that baby out of the carpet, ma'am |
