Absence Does Make the Heart Grow Founder


Six days away from Adyson (and Brian) was much tougher than I expected. Even though I was slammed with working the C-USA women's basketball championship (M3-8) in New Orleans, I would find myself thinking/missing Adyson's smile, laugh and her incredibly frustrating ability to flip on the changing table. While I was gone, she started crawling on all four and can really motor around now. I went to the kitchen to wash out her bottle only to turn around to see her turning the corner to come find me. That was pretty awesome to see her crawling toward me. She also started saying ba-ba and ya-ya as well as standing up in her crib and pulling herself up on the coffee table. I think it’s just a matter of weeks before she starts walking.

I have to give props to Brian. He did a fabulous job with her. He’s an incredible dad. But, he would be the first to admit he was happy to see me Sunday night. He survived two high fever calls from Primrose (daycare) and the Terrell Owens being cut from the Cowboys all within 48 hours of each other.

The above photo is from a day that Adyson had a fever at daycare and was sent home. Brian took her pants off hoping it would cool her off. We think it’s because she's cutting more teeth, which is making her temperature spike at random times. Who knows?

She is still an incredible little girl who is currently sleeping on my chest as I type one handed.

She'll be 8 months old on the 11th... time to start thinking about another photo shoot!
