Adleigh is 18 Months!

So my baby is now one and a half?!?!

Adleigh Sue is a baby no longer!  She feeds herself, tries to escape her crib, and pretty much wants to exert her independence however she can!

Eating wise, she has all 8 of the front teeth and is working on the back ones.  She still isn’t a huge fan of solids–spaghetti, green beans, bananas, and a recent discovery–Chick Fil A nuggets!

Liberty was potty trained at this point.  Adleigh isn’t too interested yet, but I’m sure it won’t be soon.

She has finally started to talk a lot more!  She loves to say “Nanny” in the morning with the phone and facetime her namesake.  She can say “Rha Rha”, “Pap”, “GG”, and Ben!  She can say lots of animal sounds, as well as baby, book, mermaid, dog, and she’s trying hard to say Canton and Liberty, but those are pretty hard!  She has the standard ones down too (hi, bye bye, etc)

Adleigh loves to dance with her Sophia doll, play “This Little Piggie”, sing “Itzy Bitzy”, read books, chase Canton and Liberty, and be outside.  This girl climbed up Canton’s bike yesterday trying to ride it!!  She can easily conquer most slides and has climbed the rungs to the monkey bars as I sprint to catch her!  I can’t be far from her outside!  She always finds something to get into—climbing, eating dirt, you name it.

I love her smile when I go in and pick her up out of her crib in the morning.  So happy to greet the day and explore the world!

Easter Potraits 2017

It was the first nice day all week so we decided to try to get some pictures in Easter outfits.  Based on today’s outcome we might have to try again 🙂

It is pretty much impossible to get a picture of 3 kids to smile and look in the same direction

Adleigh continues to grow and learn and make us laugh every day!

The flu hit the house pretty hard the last couple weeks. It hit me and the Canton (plus strep) which of course made it to Liberty and then Mike. We thought Ad was going to come through unscathed, but this flu virus is mighty powerful this year! But, she handled it well, her first time ever throwing up I think! It was hard to see her so subdued though, she is normally all over the place!

She still doesn’t like to eat much besides spaghetti and green beans. She does have 6 1/2 teeth though!

I think that she is finally starting to put some words and sounds together. She has been so focused on moving, climbing, just being all over the place in general, that words and language development has come later. But, in the last couple weeks she is added “nanny”, “rha rha”, “baby”, “night night”, lots of animal sounds, and “mermaid” (thanks to Liberty’s sudden obsession with Ariel)! She is trying to say “Canton” and “Liberty” too! She love love loves her bro and sis!

She loves to FaceTime, read books, dig in the drawers, and her favorite thing lately has been to ride in the Jeep power wheel with liberty!

So excited to see what she will do next!!
