Day 109

Fun with Lauren's Toys

We had a fun time today getting together with our mommy group and their babies! We were at Lauren's house and Adeline had a blast playing with her fun and new (to Adeline) toys! Especially this exersaucer which had a book about animals and even made animal noises, which Adeline LOVES! If Adeline wasn't on the verge of growing out things like this I would look into getting one from Kijiji.

Day 107

In the Pack 'n Play

I took the baby insert out of the Pack 'n Play the other day and I think Adeline likes it. She sits in the there playing with whatever toys I pack there with her. Even though she is not moving yet it is still nice to have her contained. And it is easy to move it from the loving room to the kitchen when I want to make dinner and Adeline needs to be close to her mama.

Talking With Friends

We went to pick up a few things for the house at IKEA this afternoon and when we were on the way home Adeline got a bit fussy so I gave her her photo album. She preceded to flip through the pages, first Jack, then Daddy, then Mommy and then she got to the picture of her Jack and Carter she began talking to the babies, gently touching them and kissing them too. Kris and I just sat in the front seats quietly snickering, trying not to interrupt her.

Day 91

Playing

I love that Adeline keeps getting better and better at playing independently.  Today she sat on the floor and played with her toys alone for a whole 10 minutes.  She sat there! and didn't fall over and played, it was soooo nice; I finally got some TV watching done! Wow the TV shows have been building and building up these past few weeks and I just have not found the time to get to them lately, but now that Adeline can sit unassisted for a whole 10 minutes, you can't imagine the TV watching I'll be able to get done! Tee-Hee!

But seriously, it was nice that she was able to sit and play with herself for a while...she also did some tummy time after she was done with sitting and looksie how high up she is able to push herself now!  Maybe one of these days she will even roll herself over ;)

Day 51

Playing in Bed

Adeline has come to love the mobile that hangs above her crib. At first she was not so sure about it...she would watch it and listen to the music and try and grab the bugs that hang from it, but it didn't quite live up to her expectations of a really great toy. That is until she could actually reach the stuffed bugs that dangled above her, enticing her to reach out and touch them. It began when she could graze them with just the tips of her fingers and then every so often she would be able to grasp one of the lower hanging characters barley clutching it, but she would quickly lose her grip. Now she can tightly grab each and every bug and pull them down to her face for some good sucking and fling them around from side to side over her head. I am both happy and sad as I sit and watch her from the chair. Happy because I love to see her so excited and pleased and it is such a blessing that she is able to play by herself. Scared because I can see that at any moment one of these days she is going to tug so hard and fast that she rips a bug right off that mobile and that is going to be the end of Adeline's fun :(
