Day 273

Terry Fox 2011

Adeline and I went to the school Daddy teaches at and joined in their Terry Fox walk.  So we walked 5km around Leduc.  It was far, but it was FUN! We even got tattoos. 

Then during her afternoon snack Adeline kept doing the sign for Hat...I realized her hat was on the table and she wanted to wear it while eating...after that she was happy as a clam

Day 272

The Many Faces of Adeline

Day 258

Big Talker 

Adeline and Mommy were having a great time playing outside this morning! She found her blow-up pool and REALLY wanted to go in it...so I put her in the empty pool and she just loved it!!! Then I have her her pool toys and she was in heaven! Adeline pulled her Kitty out if its mini kennel and was talking and talking to her.  Then she was trying real hard to put the kitty back into the kennel...which was very difficult because it is a very tight squeeze!  

Swinger

Now that it is not too hot we are spending more time outside (and because our days without snow are numbered). Adeline is an outside-body (rather than a home body ;).  She LOVESSSSS being outside!!! We had a blast swinging in the swing.  I would push her and say wheeee and she would say weeeeee (in her own Adeline way).  I'm gonna have to get Daddy to mow all the pinecones up, as all Adeline wants to do sometimes is crawl around and eat them!

Day 257

Breakfast

When the days get colder, Mommy (and now Adeline too) wears a hat at almost all times.  Today we wore our hats during breakfast.  As you can see we had a pretty zoned out bebe this morning, but I think she looks just too adorable! 

Day 254

Standing

Well Adeline is trying real hard to stand now...I think she is getting the hand of the walking thing and is starting to enjoy it a bit more.  Today she crawled up on to the flat of coke that was sitting in the living room waiting to be taken to the basement.  She then pushed up on to her feet and started straitening out her legs...I totally thought she was going to sit back, right off the edge, but she didn't.  We also did some walking practice in the basement.  Daddy at one end and Mommy at the other (about 5 steps apart).  We would help her get started and then she would finish walking herself to the other person...It was great.  There were times when she was taking 3-4 wobbly steps on her own.  By then end she was getting much better.  

Day 253

In Memory

My Aunt, Adeline's Great Aunt, Monica passed away a couple weeks ago. Today her family and friends got together to celebrate her life.  We heard many stories about her fun filled life and watched a slideshow of pictures from throughout her life and at the end we all shared some of her favourite snacks. Her favourite drink was Pepsi.  So in memory of her Adeline had her first taste of pop.  And boy, oh, boy did she like that! This was the first time Adeline had something other than milk or water to drink.  Don't worry people, this is not going to be normal occurrence ;)

Day 245

Hangin' in the Crib

I plopped the puppy into Adeline's crib after her morning nap and they were both quite pleased with that.  Adeline kept trying to give Chloe a book and all Chloe wanted to do was lay down on Adeline's bed.  They were quite entertained with each other! 

Babywearing Day

Adeline's teeth must have been bugging her quite a bit today, because we were babywearing pretty much all day today.  I love it because Adeline is not a snuggly baby at all...but today she almost felt a little bit snuggly.  Here we are out for a coffee and muffin.  I took a picture of our reflection in the Xterra.  

Day 244

Adeline's Walker

For her birthday Adeline got a little ride on dolphin...but rather than riding on it she prefers to use the handles to push it while she walks behind it.  She looks so award when doing this and her shins keep hitting the back wheels, but she keeps on doing it! And she even steers it to navigate her toys on the floor.
