The Train Museum

Another fun spot we've never been before, and I wasn't sure how it would go over. In the beginning she was liking looking at all the big trains on the first level, but not totally into it. Then the top level there were interactive stations that lit up. She was into it a little more, and then we got to the toy train tables, and she was in heaven. There were two huge tables of trains to play with, and one you pushed buttons to make it go. Super fun for her to watch and crawl under and around this train. She had fun with her BFF Owen. She loves him.

Fairy Tale Town

Okay this place is so fun. They have different areas based on fairy tales. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, and not sure if it might not be fun for her age. I was sure wrong she had a great time. She loved seeing all the animals, climbing around the "cheese stands alone"and jack and the bean stalk, and the slide was also a favorite. I was so glad we went. It was so fun what a great memory it will be.

The Water Park

One of the joys of summer... the water  park.  Adeline goes wild she loves it there. She is so brave she want to walk right next to the big waterfall which is raging down fast. Then she loves the little river. I think it's because she loves to eat rocks, and the bottom of the river bed is made our of rocks. So, she spends time trying to pick them up. Lily wasn't too hot on the water park. I think she was a bit overwhelmed with all the people. However, they played so nicely together once we got back home.

Johnny Cash Concert

 

They have these concerts in the park, and they just happen to have a band playing all Johnny Cash. It was a real treat. A bunch of our friends were there too. We had a great time. I love summer nights.

We Moved

Adeline helping out!

Hooray! We finally have two bedrooms... I know it's about time. We LOVE our new place, and we love that the internet is now working.

Adeline is Standing

So she has been able to do this for a week or so, but it's hard to capture. I just can't believe how big she is getting. We are so excited for everything new that's is just around the corner.

9 Months

This month Adeline is now able to use the walker by herself. She likes to cruise around on the furniture all the time. She has bumps on her head because she gets a little off balance. One of her favorite things to do is to take all of the toys off her shelfs. Then once I put it all back she tares it down again; it's a little game she likes. She still loves books, and I still love finding her turning the pages, and babbling like she's reading. She loves her baths, and during them loves to stand up and push everything on the sides of the tub into the water. She also loves the water coming out of the faucet. She loves standing up next to the toilet. I think it's just the perfect height. She also likes to go through the trash. She has also been liking to do little growls. Tim calls her his little gremelin when she does this. She likes to blow raspberries it's usually on my arm, but she did it on my belly for a long time. She would do one, and then laugh. Probably one of my favorite things this month is now that Tim works much later she gets even more excited when he gets home. She squeals with delight to see him, and then they play around together and she loves it.

Many Faces
