My sister-in-law, Sara, tagged me. I have to write 5 things about my kid that others might not know. Sorry if they are things you already know, I do share (brag) quite frequently about Adalyn. And I tag Angie, Leah, Becky, and Shannon.
1. Adalyn has received her first tooth! At first we had no idea, cause we thought that she just had a cold. She hasn't been very fussy or acted like anything was out of the ordinary. Then, last night, as she was knawing on my finger I thought, "Hmm, I've never felt that before!" So, I checked, and sure enough I found the beginnings of a little tooth!
2. Miss Independent. Adalyn does what Adalyn wants, when Adalyn wants to do it! It sounds bad, but it really isn't. Adalyn becomes more and more alert as she gets older and she is figuring out that she can do what she wants. An example: Adalyn loves playing with new things, especially things she isn't supposed to have. Ex. remotes, phones, etc. So when she gets her hands (and lets face it her mouth) on one of those items we try to trick her into giving it up for another toy. It doesn't work. She will move every which way to get back the thing that she wants. It is quite funny.
3. Loves Hugs and Kisses. This is my favorite! Plain and simple... Adalyn has always loved snuggling up with people, but now she loves giving and getting kisses.
4. Fascination with Mouths. Adalyn is intrigued by any and every mouth. She loves putting her hands right in them. She grabs at the teeth and plays with the lips and never gets enough of it.
5. Super Smart. Adalyn gets smarter by the minute. She is constantly learning new things and gaining new abilities. Just last night she watched me turn on her Aquamarine toy that hangs in her crib. Right after she saw me do it, she kept turning it on and off, on and off. She is completely amazing. She's even 'reading' books by herself!
She is such a good baby and has brought so much joy into our home!
I didn't think that I would have to worry about Adalyn getting into my make-up until she was at least 4 or 5 years old. However, like with everything else, she has decided to start early. We have many many years before you start this routine baby girl!
We just can't get enough of her gorgeous smile. The nurse at the doctor's office couldn't get enough either. She told us that she needs to be on the cover of magazines. Naturally, I agree. Anyway, Happy 6 months baby girl! We love you!
She is such a good baby and has brought so much joy into our home!
I solicited my mom's help. Thank goodness I did... after a cutting mishap, her sewing expertise saved the day! Thank Heavens for Grandmas!
Until she got bored! Then Aunt Melissa took over and got her right to sleep!
The best part of the day is when Devin comes walking through the door of our house. Adalyn gets a huge smile on her face when she sees him. It is very obvious that she loves her Daddy. Devin has been sick lately and to avoid getting Adalyn sick, he hasn't played with her much. I could tell how much it affected them both. Adalyn would just watch Devin with an expression that seemed to say, "Why aren't you playing with me!" I don't know what I did in Heaven to deserve a man who not only is an amazing husband, but the best father anyone could ask for. So Devin, while you are working away, know that two lil ladies are home thinking about you. WE LOVE YOU!!
