Not a Newborn Anymore...
With the passing of another month...comes a new blog update! It's hard to believe our little Adri is already 3 months old. So much has changed since those first days. She has been sleeping like an angel through the night, a true blessing from God! Her nap schedule is slowly becoming more predictable, making the days a little easier to manage. The smiles have turned to small giggles, especially in the mornings at wake up time. The wake up time has become the most precious time of day. Many mornings we walk into her room to find her already awake to our surprise. Then comes the next twenty minutes of cheer joy in her eyes as we unwrap her and she begins to kick and smile as we watch her enjoy life. It is the best part of the day with our litttle Adri. She has also began to "talk" to us, protesting this or that or chatting it up. Sometimes she even sings along to "Jesus Loves Me" as mom puts her to sleep. She is such a gift in our lives, and we thank God for our precious daughter. All the challenges and struggles of parenthood (and there have been many along the way) melt away when we look into her piercing blue eyes and her beautiful little smile and realize that she belongs to our family! As Harvie is the photographer of our family, basically all the good pictures have Adri and me (I will try improving my photography skills). Enjoy some of the pictures of the last month in the Buitelaar household... 
Dressing up our little princess always comes along with a photo session...until Adri begins to cry trying to tell us enough is enough!
Her favourite bath activity is kicking a rubber ducky around. What a change from the screaming baths we had during the first month!
As for rolling over, we better keep a close eye on that as she has already turned sideways many times.
She enjoyed a couple of play dates with her friend Abigail...even though they already had some trouble sharing the toys on the play gym :)
Adrianna was "bapticated" :) at our church on November 30th. Many thanks to all the family and friends that came out to celebrate it with us. 
Harvie's work had a Christmas party for families at the Burnaby Village this past Saturday. Adrianna had quite the eventful day. On the way to the party she threw up in her lovely dress, she sat on Santa's lap and got a gift, had a snooze while we toured the village, had two carossel rides, and a screaming fit all the way home (too much excitement for one day!).
A Merry Christmas to All! May God bless you this season with joy and peace through his Son, Jesus Christ. May you feel His presence this Christmas in your hearts and homes.
