Day 59

Our Lonely Little Petunia

Kris got this pot along with a bag of soil as a birthday present this year and it has been sitting in our living room ever since...just waiting for me to put Adeline inside and take her picture. I thought this was going to have to be one of those quick and dirty photos...the ones that I have to take as quick as possible before my subject gets annoyed at what I am subjecting her to. This just was not the case today; it seemed like she actually enjoyed sitting inside the pot (contrary to what you may see in the above picture). She was just so darn excited it was hard to get a good shot. Case and point...she kept bouncing up and down on her bum and grabbing the sides with joy, it was tooooo cute, but like I said made it really hard to take the photo. I have a feeling we are going to revisit the pot on a much warmer day ;)

Day 58

Adeline's Fish

We dismantled our 40gal fish tank today and decided to put the much, much smaller one (10gal) back up. And rather than having it in the dining room, where the BIG one was, we decided to put it in the living room; this way we will actually be able to enjoy it! Well Adeline is already a huge fan, as you may be able to tell from the intent gaze she is giving the tank in one photo and the big smile she is flashing in the other. I asked Adeline "Adeline, do you like the fish?" and I gave me that big smile...I'm gonna take that as a yes. I think the fish tank has replaced the computer visualizer as Adeline's favourite pass time.

The nightly bath dump ritual continues...Daddy is threatening short and sweet baths from now on if this doesn't stop...I just can't help but laugh.

Day 57

Sharing Daddy's Breakfast

Adeline ate her Cinnamon Oatmeal breakfast this morning, and then decided she wanted some of Daddy's blueberry pancakes. And as you can tell she really enjoyed eating what Daddy was eating.

Update on the bath pooing: Yes she did do it again today, but at least it was just a small one this time.

Day 56

Swimming Fun

Adeline and I went to the rec centre with some of our mommy and baby friends today. We did some intense, but very fun strollercise and then we did a little swimming. Strollercise is where mama works out, following the leaders instructions while pushing baby in their stroller. Adeline quite enjoyed being pushed around the gym, she spent the entire time clapping her feet together as we circled around and around. After Mommy's work out, it was time for Adeline's. So we went to the pool. Adeline is always hesitant upon entering the pool, taking about 20 minutes before she is truly comfortable being in the open waters. But after that happens she kicks up a storm and splashes everyone with her flapping hands. Today we were introduced to the "Lazy River" a figure eight of enough current to push us through the water...thankfully the water is only a few feet deep ;)

Oh ya, Jack was wearing his new swimsuit today, a speedo, and Adeline likes it.

Day 55

Rockin But Still No Rollin...

Adeline still will not roll...try as I may, try as I might nothing I do makes her do the big R. What you see in the picture above is as far as she will go. I have enticed her with toys, fun noises, me and even the coveted kitty...but still nothing! I have concluded that she is never going to roll from back to belly...but at least she sits! Oh ya, and she still HATES tummy time and then again maybe it's just the teething.

Update: Adeline pooped in the bath AGAIN!!!! I am now under the impression she thinks that the bath is her personal toilet...maybe it's time to start potty training ;)

Day 54

Daddy Daughter Time

Adeline has a new favourite thing...to touch and eventually pull on Daddy's beard. She is infatuated with it...Mommy doesn't have one so that makes it fun and new and special and Adeline Loves it! And that makes Daddy so happy, because Mommy is not too fond of it.

By the way...Adeline pooped in the tub again, twice! No sooner did we clean the tub and fill it up so she could finish her bath did she do it again. Then Adeline got to have her first shower...we didn't want to risk putting her back in the bath for a third dump ;)

Day 53

I Want Some of That...

While we were out and about this afternoon Mommy and Daddy needed to refuel, therefore we stopped at a randome asian restaurant and at some chicken, rice and vegetables and Adeline could not keep her eyes or hands off our water. She must have been a thirsty girl. She just kept staring at our water following it as it was lifted from the table to our mouthes and then back down. Every time we offered her a sip of the ice cold water she would accept with eagerness. I wish she would gain enough dexterity and strength to be able to control a cup herself, because she much prefers it over the sippy cup and that way I could concentrate on feeding and drinking my self rather than constantly holding a cup for my sweet, sweet little lady.
