Music Video!

My brother, Jonathan, made an awesome music video starring Adora. She is just so loving!

I am not a painter

but here is my painting that Laura asked me to post.

Dinner tonight

Adora was eating dinner tonight in her high chair, like usual. She was playing with the puddle of gravy I put there for her to dip her broccoli into. She started saying, "Tickle, tickle, tickle!"--she was tickling her gravy! Jake said it's the funniest thing she's ever done :)

Aunt Laura's visit!

Smelling the "flower" at a water fun day at home before Aunt Laura's visit.

"Uh oh," what happened, Mommy?

Aunt Laura's sunglasses are SO COOL!

I look so grown up in Aunt Laura's headband!

I kept diving off of Daddy's back when I was riding on it, so he played horsey on me!

Playing on the equipment at The Plex.

Look at me all by myself!

I can slide all by myself, too!

I'm too busy to stop to pose for a picture!

Finally, at home on a DDR machine.

Adora's first professional haircut

Adora's 15-month statistics

23 lbs. 6 oz, 30.7"

These are both above the 50th percentile! Big girl!

This is a video of Adora's sweet, sweet voice! She has been performing on the webcam recently. She can point to her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and bellybutton. She even says bellybutton--ba ba eeeyuh! It's so cute. She has lots of words now--outside (OT-sssss), down, baby, bye bye, mama, dada, etc. etc. etc. I think it's about 25 words in all. I have a list somewhere and would take the time to look them all up except she's been napping 2.25 hours (WOW, the usual is 1.5), and I'm afraid she'll wake up any minute

We went on a camping trip the last weekend in May. It was so fun! We went on two hikes, one to the top of a mountain. Adora didn't sleep very well, but since she was sleeping with Mama and Dada, she could just roll over and nurse when she made a peep, so she took full advantage of that.

Speaking of sleeping, our little one is finally sleeping through the night! She goes to bed around 8 and wakes up around 7 to nurse and be up for the day. These times are fairly variable, but it's nice to pretty much know that she won't be waking me up in the middle of the night.

Adora also got a molar today! So she's up to 9 teeth. This one is the one-year molar on the bottom right.

What else is new? We played Ring Around the Rosie today, and Adora loved it! She laughs when we all fall down :)

I'm not sure what we were eating here, but it was obviously messy :) I love putting Adora's hair in pigtails, and I guess she's a little more amenable to it now than she used to be. Jake's favorite is two low pigtails in the back. Then, I use a bobby pin to pin the front hairs to the side, but she's started yanking the bobby pin out, so I may have to wait until her hair is longer and it all fits into the bottom pigtails to do that more often.

This is Adora and Preston! They met for the first time in Baton Rouge May 15 or 16, and then we went to Preston's home in Houston a couple of days after that. Adora LOVED the "be-be."

Ok, I hear her--she's awake! 2.5 hour nap, I got SO much done!
