Day 165

Cheeeeese

By far your favourite snack right now is Cheese!!! You eat sticks and sticks of it each and every day. Today at lunch I offered you some apple crisp baby food and you would have none of it...all you wanted was cheese and then more cheese and then a cookie. Then for dinner you had some apple crisp but wanted to finish up with another 2 sticks of cheese. It's nice because you can finally feed yourself and take Adeline sized bites of it, rather than the HUGE bites you used to take and choke on it.

Here you are enjoying some cheese in the car today. You were really enjoying eating cheese and watching yourself in the mirror. You would take a bite of cheese and then laugh and laugh at yourself, it was just hilarious to watch. Daddy and I just stood outside the car (where you could not see us) and watched you do this for at least a full five minutes. Just another reason we love you so much! I love how you are clutching a stick of cheese in one hand and the wrapper in the other in the first picture...so precious!

Day 164

Silly Baby

One of you new favourite things to do is stand up in your crib. I have to actually pull you up into the standing position, but once you are there there is just no stopping you! Often when you wake up from a nap you are a bit sad...but as soon as I stand you up you are smiling, laughing and jumping up and down with happiness. This picture almost made me pee my pants with laughter this evening...I love how silly you look.

Silly story...after Daddy got you all ready for bed this evening and I came in to say good night to you, I was trying to get a kiss from you and you wanted NOTHING to do with it! Then all of a sudden you turned your mouth towards me and opened up for a big one, so I puckered up and got a huge belch right in the face! It was Classic! I didn't want to rile you up right before bed, but I could not control the laughter...thank goodness you still went to sleep rather quickly.

Day 163

More Friends

Mommy's friend Becky came for a visit today and showered you with tones of Love! You always love seeing Becky she loves to hold and play with you...I think she likes you better than she likes me now ;)

Day 162

Basement Fun

Now that the basement is all (well mostly) finished Adeline, you have another fun place to play! Today you were having a blast taking out all the toys with faces and talking to them. I love that you are so friendly! Daddy and I were watching you from afar and I did not want to interrupt your play session with the "babies" so I took this shot without you knowing. You can see how Chloe also loves how friendly you are. Today she just wanted to lay with you as you played with all the toys.

Day 161

Babies

Last night I hung a picture ledge and filled it with many pictures. First thing this morning Adeline, you and I were walking from the kitchen to the living room and you right away noticed all the photos up on the wall. I though you were going to literally jump out of my arms so you could get closer to the babies you could see on the wall. So I chose pictures of 4 babies (2 of you one of me and one of Daddy) and you were quite entertained by talking to, picking up and eventually puking on these four babies.

Day 160

Kitty

Adeline, there is only one thing you love as much as you love other babies, and that's animals! You and Chloe are best pals and you love opening your mouth to let her lick the inside of your mouth. But your relationship with Kitty is much more complicated. The two of you often watch one another. He will perch on the couch, just out of your reach, and contemplate coming to see you. When he does come and sit next to you, he is often startled off by the sound of your excitement...but not today. Today we got home from out evening walk and Daddy plopped you down on the floor beside Kitty and he stuck around for a bit. You were very careful; at first you didn't make any noise or touch him, you just slowly lifted your hand wanting to touch him, but not wanting him to scamper away. Finally you lowered your hand onto his head and gave him a nice soft pet. You like it, and he must have as well, because Kitty did not take off like he usually does. After you were able to touch him you got a little excited and started moving much faster and more abrupt and excitedly grabbed Kitty's ears (like you often do to Chloe, who is much more easy going than Kitty) and bang he was off the the bullet of a gun. Although Kitty does not give you as much attention as Chloe, your love and curiosity for him never waivers. One day, when you can finally chase after him you will finally get what you want from Kitty...but I'm pretty sure he is not going to be impressed when that day comes.

Day 159

Mohawk

See Adeline, Mommy's not the only one to do silly things to you. You can thank your Dad for this one ;)
