twoundertwo: Adalayde

Adalayde is just over eighteen months old and I have no idea where the time went. It is hard for me to believe that when Anderson was her age I had a two month old baby! She doesn't seem like a baby anymore and it makes me kind of sad. She is talking very well and communicates all of her needs and wants verbally. She loves to play with the big kids and she is a little dare devil. She will go down any slide and will climb on anything that she can. She loves shoes and especially boots. She loves her brother and when she can't find him she will stand at the top of the stairs and scream his name. she loves to play outside, in fact that is really the only time that she likes to not be held. She loves her Kindermusik class and her swimming lessons. She has been going to nursery at church and so far she is not a fan! She screams bloody murder when they start saying the closing prayer and screams all the way to her class room all the while holding on to me for dear life. She makes a huge scene and people laugh at her. Once I drop her off she screams as loud as she can for about two minutes, which seems like an eternity and then she heads right for the toys. When we go to pick her up she cries again just to let us know how awful it is that we left her. Little does she know that we look through the door no less that fifty times between the two of us and we always see her happily playing.

She is still very much a Mommy's girl. She still loves to be in the carrier and still even loves to be in the moby wrap, nice and close. This day she feel asleep in the carrier holding on to my hair. Aunt Liesl calls her our little monkey because she loves to hold onto my hair!

Aunt Erin and Beza sent her all of these little bows on a ribbon to hang in her room. She loves them so much and often times wants all of them in her hair.

She is obsessed with her swim cap and goggles. If she could she would swim all the time. She also loves to wear her swimming suits it reminds me of her cousin Noel.
