Nearly every day I ask Addy “where’s Mommy’s nose? Where’s Addy’s nose?”, as I point to it… Then we do eyes, ears, etc. Well, today my smart little girl surprised me by actually pointing to my nose! AND my eyes (actually she nearly poked them out- hey a wins a win, right?!) She would point each time I asked! Only one problem…she only does my nose and eyes haha. When I ask where her nose is she still points to mine. But I still think she’s brilliant ;)

And we’re still not walking. I really think she’s getting close though. She can stand by herself for a long time without holding on to anything. And now when we try to get her to walk she stares down at her feet while she’s bouncing, as if willing them to move haha

Adalynn is also getting more and more verbal. She says “that” now. And points to whatever she wants. After we took away her cupcake the other day she sat frantically signing “more”, then she’d get up and point, say “that” and sign “more” again. It was too cute!

"Ummm cupcake?? Nope, haven't seen it!"

Da-Dee

Adalynn said Daddy!!! Clear as could be she said Da-dee...It made Jason's night :)

Gog?

Eleven months old! Can you believe it? Time has really flown by and we’ve loved every minute of it. Our little girl is so precious! She’s said her first word (if you don’t count Mama)!! It’s “dog”....well, actually it’s “gog” but she’s working on the D. She also said “Da” this morning :) Every time she hears dogs bark she says “gog?” Last night I was trying to get her to sleep and Chloe kept walking in and out and she kept whispering “gog, gog”. Addy looooooovveees dancing. I’ll have to post the video of her getting down to “Twist & Shout” hahahaha. She gets her little feet going :) And her favorite food is blueberries. She’ll share just about everything but if you take one of her blueberries you’re in trouble!


We just got back from Wal-Mart…man what a trip. She loves to “help” now. She wanted to push the cart, which meant I had to hold her and help steer. She got mad when we stopped and would let out this high-pitched squeal only babies and small yippy dogs can achieve. And she would NOT let go of the cart so I could get stuff off the shelf lol. I had to pry her hands off to get the cereal. What I thought was going to be a quick 15 minute trip turned into nearly an hour.

so so close!

She loves her new toy!

won't be long...

Addy was in the middle of the floor and she stood up all by herself!!!! She's been standing and trying to walk but she just ends up doing a little hop, then falling down =) It won't be long....

Yummmm funnel cake

We went to watch the parade and went to the fair yesterday. Addy enjoyed the parade for a while then was looking at us like “uhhh…guys? Even I know how to wave. This isn’t all that impressive” but she got excited again when the horses came around! Then we went to the fair. She was mesmerized by all the lights and rides and she loved the animals, especially the goats. But hands down her favorite was the funnel cake. That got a big “MmMMMMMMMmm”!!!

such a pretty girl

Addy was so funny. She went to her diaper bag and started pulling everything out one at a time. Each thing was looked at carefully and tossed aside…Even the Puffs :) Finally she got to the bottom of the bag and started doing her happy dance complete with a squeal. JACKPOT! So I watched to see what she could have been looking for that made her so happy…. HER NEW SHOES!!!! She sat down and tried to put them on herself but finally brought it over to me. After I put them on she spent 15 minutes admiring them, turning her foot one way then the other hahahaha. She might not have got my looks but at least she got my love of shoes ;)
