IN SHE GOES

Addie jumped into the tub with all her clothes on. Tim started the water then came in to talk to me. We realized it was really quiet... and found her like this.

Happy Valentines

She got into

My mascara

She climbed on top of the toilet, leaned over to the counter to get the mascara, and then untwisted the lid off. What am I to do with this little girl?

Breakfast

Big Cheesy Smile (if you haven't seen in person you're missing out)

Lunch yesterday out like a light

Adeline wakes up in the morning asking for breakfast... she wants it FAST. She has such a fit while the oatmeal is cooling. She almost always eats oatmeal, and applesauce. She loves it. I am so boring a creature of habit. Lately for lunch, and dinner she's been requesting breakfast. I thought she had it mixed up that all meals were breakfast, but I think she wants oatmeal for every meal. lol She gets upset getting in her seat for every meal except breakfast the last two days. So, I tried happy faces with the food. She totally loves it. It makes me laugh that something so simple makes her so happy, and gets her to eat lunch for lunch and dinner for dinner. She says eye as she eats an eye etc. The other thing that made me laugh today was we were at the park by the zoo. There are chickens, roosters and peacocks all over. She chases them around. You're not suppose to do that... we're working on it. A rooster almost attacked her today. I almost attacked that rooster. ha ha! We got home she was eating chicken for dinner. I said, "eat your chicken!" So, she says "bock bock bock" I was cracking up she'd made the connection. Not exactly what I like to think about when I eat my chicken.

Lead me Guide me

Look what she got into ... Tim put the humidifier on the floor

while he changed her, and forgot to put it back up.

I thought she was playing so nicely by herself, and this is what I found.

If we leave a chair untucked a little this is what we're dealing with lately

Okay I know I am suppose to lead this little one, but she is a wild adimal (tim's nickname for our little animal). Sometimes I am not sure how to lead her. I am just trying to keep track of her. Even after the busy crazy day she can be such a sweetheart. We read this story for the longest time tonight it was a flap book, and she kept lifting this dinosaur and saying boo ... where did he go. Then she would repeat it all over and over again. She loves when anything hides. She's at such a fun, and crazy stage.

New Tricks

No treats for this kind of tricks. Why do kids like to do this so much?

Rain Rain Go Away

I made cupcakes for Tim's primary class. Adeline just couldn't get enough of them. She actually became a bit obsessed if she saw one. She wanted it ... demanded it and then had a tantrum.

I loved this smile!

What to do on a rainy day? We play with balloons.

She loves my boots. She wanted them on so much. So, we put them on... then she wanted them off. Right after I took them off she wanted them on. This went on for a while. She looked so funny, and I was laughing so hard.

Hi Mom

My new favorite thing is that Adeline will come up to me multiple times a day and say "Hi mom!" Sometimes she'll run away, and then come back real quick, and say it again. In the sweetest little voice.

Big Girl Bed

The week before Christmas Adeline climbed out of her crib. It was just earlier in the week she had learned to open doors. One night she climbed out of her crib, and then opened her door to get out of her room. So, now she sleeps in this bed. I don't really like it. It makes it seem like she's a big girl to me.

Shows

This is what she looks like watching a show

My Escapee

As soon as I get her hooded towel on after her bath she runs so fast, and gets so excited. It's like the towel is a super woman cape. It cracks me up. If the towel comes off she wants it back on right away. She seriously makes me laugh how she looks tramping around in her towel. Perhaps I shouldn't allow this kind of behavior, but it's kind of entertaining to see her take off so fast.

Adeline and Lucy

Lucy and Adeline jumping on the bed

Adeline loves her friend Lucy. She talks about Lucy all the time. They are so cute!

Christmas Day

Opening Gifts... so cute she was in awe

The Family

Adeline on her chair

Riding the horse

The Three of us

Adeline and Grandma

In her reindeer antlers
In the middle of all the gifts, and what she wanted was her Thomas tooth paste, and her lady bug tooth brush

Christmas Eve

Adeline and Lily (cousin) dancing

Jaclyn's (my sister-in-laws) sugar cookies YUMMY

The Table

Yummy Food

Adeline dancing in her new apron from Grandma

We went to the River House, and spent it with Tim's family. He had to work until 11 PM, but stopped by for a bit on his lunch, or dinner break. We're not the biggest fans of the knew schedule. Anywho it was really fun. Good fun, good food, and family.

My Pet Monkey

Got loose, and this is what happened. She is an animal. So, the other new thing is she decided to climb out of her crib on Monday. YIKES! We're now trying to get her use to sleeping in a toddler bed . I don't know why, but for me sleep has been a really hard thing. When she was small for a while we didn't know what to do, and now she's climbing out of the crib way to early. Her doctor said she is very coordinated, and strong willed. I am in trouble. I feel for her nursery leaders.

Grandma's Stay

We were able to make some special memories with my mom while she visited. We went to this cool museum in Stockton. I got lost in this really awful area. It was just me and Adeline, and then some creepy people walking up to my car while I was stopped at a stop sign... that was a little stressful.

Adeline checking out the meat

Parker and Tanner playing at the water table

Adeline and Carson shopping

Grandma and Adeline driving in the helicopter

We also went to the Bounce place. It stressed Carson out (my sister's youngest). We didn't stay long. But there were a few highlights. Adeline loved all of it, and was very much a dare devil.

Tanner giving Adeline a boost

Inside the bounce house she loved it

Ready to go down the big slide

This is the guy that stressed Carson out... he talked about him for a day or so... Funny thing in the pic. Parker is thinking it is the funniest thing ever because his is slapping this guys behind. A few moments later he goes to slap it, and falls out of the bounce thing.

We also did a family gift exchange for Christmas, and had a really fun dinner. It was super fun. I had so much fun while she was here I just wish I'd taken more photos.

Maybe Next Year

She wasn't too happy about meeting santa maybe next year... it probably looks really bad I am laughing while she is terrified and screaming.

She liked Mrs. Clause

Happy right before we left... if we ask what does santa say she says ho ho ho

Face Paint

Tim's work had a party... There were so many people there. Adeline would cruise through all of them. They had a skilled face painter check it out. What you can't see is she even painted a little butterfly thing on her hand. She liked that a lot. The balloons were a huge hit the Addie, and I won a throw blanket. I usually have the worst luck so that was cool. I almost forgot she LOVED the candy cane (peppermint flavor) I wasn't sure if she'd like it. To say she liked it was an understatement. She was going through the wrapper. She ate a whole one.

My Favorite Things

1. How excited she is to see her dad every day

2. It is my FAVORITE when Adeline will plop right down in my lap.

She usually brings a book, and just plops right down.
