Day 123

It Won't Be Long Now

Just today Adeline got her knees up under her and has begun rocking a but...I am sure she will be crawling in the next week or week and a half! Exciting times in the Milligan house!

Helping With the Laundry

Adeline was having a lot of fun standing in front of the laundry basket and going through all the pieces of clothing.

Adeline Loves the Fish

Remember how Adeline used to say F-F-F for the word fish when looking at the fish tank...well today she looked right up at the fish tank and said ssshhh (see the video below for proof, you will have to listen carefully)...again it won't be long until she puts the f and the sh together!

Today was a BIG day

Adeline learned to bring her knees up under herself, she stood holding on to something independently, she said ssshhh (for fish) and then mimicked Daddy and said Da-da.

Adeline says Da-Da (Mimicked Daddy)

Day 104

The Perfect Nose Bubble

All other nose bubble pictures pale in comparison to this one! This is the one I have been trying soooo hard to get for soooo long! This evening Adeline blew the most perfect nose bubble then Daddy strapped her arms down by her sides so I could get my phone out and ready to take this wonderful picture...please just forget the fact that Adeline looks just a little bit drunk in this photo and take notice of that perfectly round, huge bubble of snot attached to her nose ;)

Day 85

Clapping...Again

I know, I know I have been writing a lot about Adeline's clapping a lot lately...but today all she wanted to do is clap and she was even making a little noise when doing it too. In the above picture I wanted to get a shot of Adeline playing with her new toy. Well, every time I gave her said toy she would pick it up, fling it behind her and start clapping. She is pretty darn impressed with herself and this clapping business!

Day 79

Uncle Timmy Time

Uncle Timmy leaves to go back home tomorrow, so he and Adeline got some quality time together today. He came over for some lunch, played with Adeline, changed a diaper and even fed Adeline a bottle of milk (I think they had a good time).

Here is a first hand look at Adeline's hand clapping.

She is becoming more fluent, though still does not make any noise when doing it. I heep reassuring her that one day she will be able to make noise, just like mommy, she just needs to keep practicing, and like a good little student she does. She will almost do it on command now...you clap and then she claps, you clap and she will do the same again.

Day 78

Cafe O'Play

Today Adeline and I met some of the ladies and babies at Cafe O'Play. This is a local coffee shop where parents are invited to "Sit, Sip and Watch Them Play!" And this is exactly what we did. Although Adeline, Jack and Lauren are not really old enough to appreciate all that surrounded them at Cafe O'Play, Kiran, Maddie and Kyra took advantage of all they had to offer. Adeline mostly played in the highchair with Lauren and Jack, beside her. They shared toys (and Mommy's necklace) quite nicely while the mommies were able to enjoy a hot beverage and catch up as many of us had not seen each other in a while.

As well, today Adeline had her first taste of ham...Do you think she likes it?

There was also some mustard on ham (that is the mustard reaction you see at the end of the video)

Day 63

Mommy and Me

Adeline let Mommy do strollercise today, but as soon as it was time for the weight training she wanted to have some mommy time...therefore Mommy's weight training was lifting Adeline up and down, up and down. More on kisses from Adeline...she was holding out on mama today, but freely gave open mouthed, tongue kisses to both Carter and Jack in the pool today. I guess it's better kissing babies than mama.

Lovin My Toes

Adeline was enthralled with her toes today. It may have helped a little bit that there was a string hanging off her leg warmers that she kept trying to pull at ;)

After Strollercise today we went swimming...while watching this video imagine Adeline doing this in the pool, she is becoming quite the little swimmer.

Day 62

Pretty Girl

Adeline has enough hair on the top/front of her head to now hold a barrette...a small one, but one none the less. The barrette pictured above is from one of my mommy friends. She posed on Facebook earlier this year that she would handmake something for the first 5 (I think) people that commented on her post and also promised to make something for 5 other people. And for me (Adeline) she made this barrette that is part of a set and a set of butterfly ones as well, though Adeline does not have enough hair for those ones just yet.

Funny thing, I think Adeline's first word is going to be Fish. A few days back we put a new, smaller tank in our living room...so Adeline has been getting a lot of face time with the fish and we have been doing quite a bit of talking and reading about fish. So every time we walked up to the tank I say f-f-fish, so today when we would walk up to the fish tank she would say f-f. And then I would say f-f-fish and she would say f-f. They we were in the bathroom getting ready for a bath and I wanted to test her "talking" abilities, so I said f-f-fish and what did she say do you think? f-f again!!! I was in shock and awe, she is starting to talk (in her own little way;) I love it!

Update on the pooping, after the last incident Daddy did a quick bath, therefore no poop and since then it has ceased...but Daddy is also watching like a hawk during every bath time for anything that looks like a floater.

Here is a funny video for your viewing pleasure:
