Rocking Horse

When Myles was a child, his father made rocking horses for he and his brother. Myles mom has hung onto them all of these years, and sent Myles horse to Adelaide. It is a beautiful horse, and arrived just in time. It only took one day for Punkie to figure out how to climb up and ride like crazy. It fits her perfectly and she loves it. How lucky is she to have a horse that her daddy used to ride!?!?

22 Months

At 22 months old Adelaide can:

a)Count to 10 (if she feels like it)

b)name most of her colors. Sometimes she gets confused with Red. I think Purple is her favroite.

c)sing along to most of her favorite songs, especially Eldweiss, Twinkle twinkle and baby Beluga.

d)name her basic shapes and also put the shape blocks in the right holes.

e)put her animal puzzel pieces in the right places.

I think she is super smart. Every day she does something that amazes me. She can even sing the whole first verse to "blackbird" by the Beatles now. She is a genius.

Adelaide loves Lucero

Here is what Adelaide and Myles do when I'm not home. I thought we had a "no TV" rule...but it appears that she really likes TV if it has music (especially Lucero) playing on it!

Hoyt Arboretum

It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop the three of us from taking a little hike in the arboretum. It was a really easy hike (good thing because Adealide was "done hiking" after about 15 minutes). It was beautiful of course, and one more reason why I love living in Portland =)

Punchbowl Falls

Adelaide and I took an amazing hike with our friends Frances and Kerry. It was about 2 miles each way. Adelaide walked a lot, and I carried her in the Ergo pack the rest of the time. She really loves being out in nature, and the waterfall at the end was so amazing and beautiful. It really was the perfect day. I can't wait to take Myles out there to see!
