So I haven't downloaded pictures to my computer in forever. I mean, forever. But I am up in the middle of the night again and thought I might post a little bit about Adora anyway. Below are a few random things that pop into my mind.
She checks me, Jake, and other babies for poopy diapers. She comes up to me and pulls the bottom of my shorts up a little bit and says "No poop!"
She likes to weigh herself on my scale whenever she's in the master bathroom. FYI, she weighs about 24 pounds.
She likes to bring out her popper (we call it her vacuum) when I vacuum and help me.
She can climb into her high chair herself if it's even slightly pulled away from the table.
If I'm on the phone with someone and I say, "Bye!" 90% of the time, she will say it right after me.
She shakes her head no to actually communicate "No" to me.
Sometimes, she walks around saying, "Happy, happy, happy!" over and over again.
She is a good mama--she gives her babies hugs, kisses, puts them down for "ni ni" (sleep), lets them "watch" while she eats, and gives them drinks.
She can climb into her stroller by herself and does this when she wants to go for a "walk." (Obviously the words she says are in quotes.)
She loves to look fancy. She puts on her Mardi Gras beads and runs to me to show off.
She still loves to read, and I think she might win the prize for most books read in the Summer Reading club at the library if I can find two of the sheets we filled up of books she read.
When she wants to color, she walks over to the crayons and paper and says "CCCCCCCC" (hard C).
She can make all sorts of animal sounds, including, but not limited to the sounds of ducks, bears, alligators, elephants, chickens, and cows.
She has developed some fears--the doorbell, my old cell phone ring (I had to change it, but the new one bothers her sometimes, too), and some others that I can't think of right now.
She climbs a lot more. The other day I found her standing on top of her changing table, but that hasn't happened again. I hope we don't have to move her into a toddler bed any time soon.
She's started screaming every single time we try to wash her hair. I don't know what this is about, but it always gets food in it, so we can't even skip a day.
She got another molar so now she has 12 teeth.
She'll be 18-months on the 1st!
She says "milk" when she asks to nurse, but it sounds like nap, so we had a really hard time figuring out if she was saying milk or asking to nap for awhile, but it's definitely milk.
Enough for now, time to try to sleep!
Sizing up the mountain. Wichita Mountains, Monday, Sept. 7, in the morning.
Daddy shows Adora how to climb.
Climbing mountains is hard work! Someone needed a break--and a hug.
Semi-family pic--I angled the camera on the table. We are having a picnic after our hike.
You can tell our little girl still likes to kiss!
Adora frequently climbs into the ice cream bucket, but this day, she climbed into her toy bin!
