Jared just went in to Adalyn's bedroom to check up on her and he just came back with a funny look on his face. He then said, "I think we're moving into the next phase." While on her back, Adalyn has been moving a lot more than normal these past 2 weeks.
Her legs go up in the air, she crunches her abs and then she moves her legs to the side, straightens out and then ends up rotating herself anywhere from 90 to 180 degrees.
She hasn't enjoyed tummy time much since she was born. When it looks like she's getting to a point where she might be on the verge of rolling over, we think she realizes that she's close to getting on her tummy and ends up rolling over to her back again. It's really cute to watch.
It looks like she'll be rotating in her crib throughout the night. We'll see which position she'll be in when she wakes up in the morning.

Adalyn Turns 4 Months Old Today
Adalyn is now 4 months old....where did the time go?
At her doctor's appointment today her stats were: weight - 12 lbs., 9 ounces (30%), height - 24 1/4 inches (50%), 16 inch head circumference (25%). All normal for her age.
She also got 2 vaccination shots and 1 oral vaccinations. She cried for a little bit, but by the time we left the room, she was all smiles again. Jared and I decided to get the H1N1 vaccination and took advantage of the H1N1 injection clinic at Kaiser. Guess the whole family got shots today.
For the past week or so, Adalyn has discovered her voice as well as how fun it is to blow bubbles. She has been absolutely adorable. She squeals and smiles all the time and I think she finds it amusing listening to herself. Out of nowhere, we'll hear squeals and screams coming from a small little girl. And....blowing bubbles always makes mommy and daddy smile, so she loves to do this all the time. Unfortunately, it also means very wet bibs that have to be changed many times a day.
All in all, baby girl is growing, growing, growing and learning, learning, learning.
She's been sleeping about 9 - 12 hours a night and taking frequent naps and mommy and daddy are very happy about that. She's also starting to eat a little more at each meal and we think she's going through a growth spurt!!!
That's it for now....thanks for reading.

Adalyn - Week 3 -4 Pictures
Here are some pictures from Labor Day weekend. The OC Lumiqued's (Luke, Michelle,Kilanii and Keanen) along with my mom came up to visit! We also had several other visitors that weekend.
We had lots of fun.
Our little dalmation for Halloween 2009
Miss Adalyn was a dalmation for Halloween this year. She was absolutely adorable. We spent Friday night at the Teter's house and had a yummy dinner and caught up with old and new friends. We then spent Saturday night at Yvette's house and had yet another awesome dinner and desserts. I even got to play some poker which was a lot of fun.
Slackers....
Okay, it's been almost 2 months since we've updated this site and we need get blogging again! Stay tuned for more posts coming soon!

Growing, growing, growing....
Adalyn is now a month old (5 weeks tomorrow) and is right on track for her weight. I guess she's actually a little ahead. She's definitely a good eater. She typically eats 3-4 ounces at each feeding, but for the last couple of nights before bed, she's eaten anywhere from 5-9 ounces. Just when we think she's done, she's asking for more. In the last 26 days, she's averaged about 1.2 ounces a day (normal is 1 ounce a day). This morning at her appointment, she weighed in at 9 lbs., 3.1 ounces!!! Before the appointment, Jared's guess was 9 lbs., 5 ounces and my guess was 8 lbs., 8 ounces. I guess he was closer than me!
As I watch her grow every day, its amazing to see how quickly she changes. I think back to August 15th and realize that she doesn't look much like the little girl that was born that night. Her cheeks have filled out, her hair has lightened up a bit, her eyes still continue to baffle me on the color, her then slim arms and legs are now a little bit chunkier, her fingers and toes continue to grow and her love for sleep is still very strong. She's a good sleeper, eater and pooper
The tummy/gas issues she had earlier are a lot better. She's not straining as much to get it out of her system. My mom brought us this herbal oil called "Aceite de Manzanilla" where about a drop of it is massaged on her tummy around her belly button, but not on it. We can't say for certain that's what it is, but it has certainly gotten better since we started applying it after each diaper change.
Well, that's it for now....just wanted to share a bit about how much she's grown these last few weeks.

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfullIsn't she precious
Less than (3 weeks) old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

Uncle David, Auntie Rose and Alyssa visit
The last weekend of August was a busy one, but fun! The family had lots to do and people to see!!! :D My brother Dave and his family came up to NorCal from SoCal. Although the visit was short, we enjoyed seeing each other and they got to meet the newest addition to the family, Adalyn Grace. We went to lunch at Michael's Restaurant at Shoreline and then ran some errands with them. They left to meet up with other family for dinner and then visited us one last time on their way back home. Thanks for visiting!

Grandpa arrives and Sunday dress!
Grandpa Koopman arrived on saturday to get his share of baby time. He was very excited to see his first granddaughter.
Later on in the day we went to the Kilohana race site to see friends and show off!
Afterwards, we went to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate my Dad's birthday, parents wedding anniversary and the arrival of our little sunbeam, Adalyn.
Today we all got up and went to church. Of course Adalyn had to put on a pretty dress.
