Adelaide talks non stop. If she isn't talking than she is singing. If she is in her room or playing alone in the living room she is still talking to her toys, the cat, me, or herself I guess. She will remember a song after only hearing it once, and really likes to sing now. Her favorite songs at the moment are Mary had a little Lamb, and Skip to my Lou. This morning I taught her "you better watch out, you better not cry....Santa Claus is coming to town" and she has been singing it all day. I only sang it to her once! OH - and Three Blind Mice. She loves that one too - and of course "Happy Birthday" is on the top of her list right now.

She is still a bit clumsy (like her mommy)but practices walking on her tip toes, backwards, etc. She still gets on her knees or butt to come down the stairs, and still is very cautious when going up the stairs. She likes to be upside down and also to thinks it's fun to crawl and walk on her knees (while we are grocery shopping...not very convenient!) She can throw and kick well, and is getting better all of the time. Her daddy got her a little football and a big girl soccer ball for her birthday. She loves to throw her football and then roll around on the floor like she has seen on TV. She thinks that is how to play football. It's really cute.

She loves to color and draw. She can make big circles and straight lines. Most of the time it's scribbles, although if she is drawing a face you can tell that she is putting the features in the correct spot, even though they are scribbles. She also really loves to play with the nesting dolls, and other tiny little toys. Her stuffed frog is still her favorite toy, and she loves to dress him and other dolls up. Actually she loves to take their clothes OFF and then make ME dress them up.

She is no longer napping, unless she is VERY sleepy and really needs one. She seems to do fine without, just a bit crazy at the end of the day, but then goes to bed early very easily.

Adelaide also had her first dental appointment which was really fun. The dentist office is just for children and had all kinds of fun things for her to play with. She got to ride on the chair, they gave her a balloon, a bath toy, toothbrush and toothpaste AND sent her a card to say thank you for coming in. Her teeth look good, which is a relief! We will go every 6 months so they can have a look, and so she gets used to being there. Right now she is getting her two year molars, so she is and will be teething for a little while.
