Adalyn over the past 4 years!

Over the past 4 years we have literaly taken at least a thousand pictures of Adalyn. We have so many but here are just a few of her. Looking at all these pictures makes me remember what it was like having her and what a joy she has been in our lives. Since coming into our family our lives have not been the same. She made me a mom, I have learned so much from her. How to be more patient, loving, caring and how to just have fun. Adalyn has always been a little stubborn and likes to learn and do things at her own pace. I delivered her almost 3 weeks early, she was ready to come. She weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz and was 19 in. long. She of course had so much hair nobody could believe she was really ours. She didn't learn to crawl until 2 days before her 1st birthday and didn't walk until 15 months. She just wasn't interested in moving. At age 1 she had an MRI on her brain because her head from birth was always above the 100%. So with her delays the doctor thought something was wrong. Thankfully the doctor told us she just has a BIG head,(have you ever seen her dad! :) She also had a dairy and peanut allergy which made eating very interesting and hard, she thankfully out grew that after her 2nd birthday. It hasn't always been easy, we've learned a lot and experienced a lot with her but it has all been worth it. Adalyn is very kind, caring, funny, she loves everything princess, girlie, purple, gymnastics and to play with her friends. She loves to help in the kitchen and sometimes she even loves to play with Ellie! She is a little OCD. She is also a pack rat and everyday has to have her "special things" it changes weekly that she carries around with her. We love her so much.
