Adleigh and I taking a nap in her bed. I look really big but keep in mind I am in her crib. Sometimes it is hard for her to leave the excitement downstairs so it helps her for me to lay with her which of course I LOVE!!!
Don't worry mom & dad, I have lots of experience driving in ice!!
Her first time to really get out in the snow. Too bad there is hardly any snow and the underneath layer is ice. She did like the getting dressed up part!
This morning Adleigh had a blueberry muffin. She loves them and this is right before having a major meltdown....she threw a piece down and Noel of course had no problem eating it up. Adleigh cried and cried because she wanted that piece back. This unfortunately is becoming a big problem at our house. Adleigh likes to leave food around and Noel likes to eat that food. Last night, Adleigh tried for about 15 minutes to get a chip back that Noel had eaten. Noel just sat there and endured the looks, probing, and tantrums! One day Adleigh will learn to not throw food down if she wants it and they will be the best of friends.
Another of Adleigh loving the muffin. The cup in the background seriously is the best cup ever. We have the sippy cup version and the straw ones....they look cute, are insulated, and have a lock tight feature that never leak!!! Definitely a lifesaver here.
Last weekend, we went to the Museum of Discovery and got the family membership. We can now get into so many different museums all over the US! We are so excited about this and yes we are big nerds, but seriously that place is so cool. We will be visiting there all the time. Especially since it is right next to the Farmers Market! These are Adleigh's handprints that we made into flowers in their craft area. I put them in a plant in our living room and have become very partial to them.
Adleigh likes to interact with the TV. Also notice that our living room has turned into different playstations for Adleigh. She likes to visit each area and is constantly busy!
Is she not the cutest little pink giraffe?
Reading to Daddy!
She loves to go through her "library" and find new books. She is definitely a little me. I love reading to her and have so much fun with her learning new things. TR and I probably each read 3 or more books a night to her. She just grabs one and comes and sits in our lap. We are cherishing this and hoping that it continues to be an interest she loves...I am sure that will please her Mimi!!
The little booger likes to rip her bows off their holder!!
This melts my heart and tickles my soul....she is such a character! Adleigh one day when you read this, I want you to know that everyday you do silly things just to get mom & dad to laugh and baby you truly are the best of us!
She likes to climb up the stairs and then pose...quite the diva! And of course we must always have on our boots!
Adleigh and baby playing together! She likes to have little talks with her toys.
Okay onto the next thing!
We got out of the house today because we were a little stir crazy and were surprised out how much junk was still on the roads. In fact a car had to go off the road so that they did not slide into us!! We went to our neighborhood mexican restaurant and Adleigh literally took out the guacamole dip. We then ventured off to Walmart to get some essentials...strawberries, chocolate dipping sauce, brownies, and diapers. We also got Adleigh a toilet seat to fit on ours and a stool so that she can start practicing going potty in a real toilet. She will start in a new class on Monday that will begin potty training...thank you thank you! Since she was so good we got her a child shopping basket filled with plastic food. She is loving this and carries it around in her shopping cart around the living room and kitchen.
Is there really anything better than a lazy, relaxing Saturday??? Adleigh is now entertaining us by trying to spell her name (she can repeat every letter after us to spell her full name and recognizes "A"), singing songs with the words she recognizes from the cd TR made today, and we are being lounging around with full bellies. I made meatloaf, garlic cream cheese mashed potatoes, and sweet green beans!! What a day!!
I will definitely try to post more often and have truly enjoyed the last few days catching up the blog. My intention with this has always been able to capture what our life looks like and for it to be something for Adleigh to cherish later!!
-TR, Tara & Adleigh
