Adler Alan...

August 17, 2010 @ 0521 Adler Alan Bates was born. He weighted 8 lbs 8.9 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. He couldn't be anymore perfect! I could have never imagined how much I would love being a mother. Everyday that I wake up I don't think I could love him anymore, but go to bed loving him more then ever. Jared is a great dad, couldn't ask for him to be any better. We are all settling in to living in the "world of Adler." He gets whatever he wants and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Proud dad.

He loves to sleep with his hands up around his face.

On our way home!

Adler had his first Dr. appointment Monday, August 23, 2010.  He was back to birth weight (he weighted 8 lbs when we left the hospital) and everything looked great!  Dr. Simon said he is a healthy & strong little guy.
On our way home from the Dr. we stopped at my mom and dad's house to take a picture, Adler is the 5th generation on my dad's side of the family, something that you don't hear of very often.  Well I think I hear him, that must mean nap time is over.

Waiting on Dr. Simon.
