We had a great time at Adalyn's birthday party on Nov. 5. So grateful for so many family and friends who came to celebrate with us. She enjoyed her cake so much that I had to take it away or she would have eaten it all. I cannot believe she is a year already. I love her little personality and her big smile. She brings us so much joy! Here's some things she is doing:
- clapping all the time saying YAY!
- patty cake
- still crawling and walking around the furniture. The last few days she is finally letting go of the coffee table long enough to clap but not brave enough to take steps yet.
- singing EIEIO
- saying Ohhhh Weeee when she hugs her giraffe pillow pet
- still saying "Hey" and hooting like an owl a lot
- stands at front window saying DaDa when he gets home and says MaMa when she's hungry or tired
- loves books. Jason reads about 4 books to her every night before bed.
- has 2 teeth but went to dr yesterday and she is cutting 8 teeth at once--4 top front teeth and 4 molars. Ouch!
- she weighs 26lbs 12oz and is 31 inches long per the dr yesterday
- just moved up to size 5 diapers. size 4 started leaking.
- been off the bottle since mid October and doing very well drinking whole milk
- loves daddy's chicken alfredo and mommy's beef tips and gravy
- loves oatmeal, eggs, yogurt melts, and cool whip. Doesn't like grits. Still eating a lot of squash and peaches and cheerios.
- loves water. Still have not introduced her to juice and according to her pediatrician, she doesn't need it and advises me not to start it. Milk and water is all she needs.
- loves to play in the refrigerator, opening and closing the bottom drawer
- she is daddy's shadow when he gets home. If he goes back to the office to do bills or practice trumpet, she has to be right there beside him. He installed locks on the cabinets yesterday and she was so curious. She tried to get in his lap as he used the electric screwdriver. I think she likes tools. lol.
- loves animals. Took her for a stroll in her wagon today and a stray dog tagged along and she talked to him the whole time. Also, she liked playing with Hannah's cat through the window at Matt and Laura's this weekend.
- she has adjusted well to the nursery. She doesn't even cry when we leave anymore. She even did good at Matt and Laura's church this weekend. This makes me happy.
- sleeping well. Time change messed us up some, but she went to bed at 7 pm last night and slept till 8:30 am. Momma got to sleep in! Yay!
