The Mad-Dash Catch-Up Post Series: Volume 1–The Introduction.

Bittersweet post today–but that must be what happens when you let months go by without saying anything. Since we've last posted: Adelia has grown and changed in leaps and bounds, we cruised the Caribbean with the family, had a job change, enrolled in school, and said goodbye to our little dogs, Bella & Sirius. Over the next few days, Melissa and I will try to post a month in a nutshell until we're back up to speed.

And so...

~August, 2011~

August arrived and Adelia was 4 months old. Some of the things she was doing included: Chewing on her fingers, which she thoroughly seemed to enjoy! Talking to others or herself in the mirror. And best of all, she was starting to giggle–Here are a few pictures of her (more or less in sequence):
