Santaland

Here is what Adelaide thinks of Santa =(

Ba ba ba baaaaaahhh

It's freezing

I think the high today will be 32 degrees! It's so freaking cold! The nice thing is that the sun is out and bright, so at least it still feels like fall. It's just hard to go out and do anything when it's so cold! We are all drying out from the heater too so bring on the lotion!!!

new Coat

Here are some pictures Myles took of Adelaide in her new jacket that her granny got for her. It's so warm and snuggly!

Spoons

I gave Adelaide a spoon with some banana on it today so she could practice with a spoon. I can't believe what she did with it! This is her very first time even trying! She's got some serious coordination!

What a little ham!

Here is the latest in Adelaide's best smiles whenever the camera is out.

Snuggle Buggy

Adelaide has gotten really good at giving hugs and wrapping her little arms around my neck and petting my hair. There is nothing sweeter then when the little person you've been holding and hugging for a year finally hugs you back! I just can't love her more. She is so funny and cute and everyday with her is so special to me!

12 month check up

We went to see Catherine today. Adelaide is now 18lbs and 9 oz, and 30 inches tall. Catherine opened the blinds to let the warm sun in while she weighed Punkie.

While we were there she noticed how busy Adelaide was exploring everything. She said I should be taking her outside to play in the dirt and nature every day. I know it's cold out now, so I will work on bundling her up and letting her out to explore. As soon as we got home that is what we did. I couldn't believe how happy she was out in the cold!

Blowing Kisses

Tonight I am standing at the changing table changing Adelaide's diaper when she starts to say and wave "Bye". I think it's because she heard Myles go into the garage. So I'm humoring her and saying 'bye daddy' back to her - and all of a sudden she puts her hand to her mouth and blows a kiss! I had been showing her this a few different times, but not for several days at least...so she must have remembered or been practicing when I wasn't watching! I just can't believe how smart she is, and of course how adorable she is. It makes me realize that we really have to be careful with everything we do and say, because even if we think she isn't paying attention - she IS! I will have to try to get video of her doing it - it will melt your heart!
