One of Adrianna’s favorite songs right now is Teddy Bears’ Picnic. Since the song is about teddy bears, she often recruits Mister Bear to dance with her. Once a song becomes a favorite with her, its playtime is sure to be requested over and over again, so I downloaded two different versions of this song […]

Little Pitchers have Big Ears
Adrianna hears and understands more than I realize sometimes. One time I was frustrated with traffic (it’s hard not to be during rush hour in Denver), and I must have grumbled about it. Adrianna was with me and became concerned so I told her everything was okay and that Mommy was just frustrated with the […]
Excuses, Excuses
This afternoon as I tried to put Adrianna down for a nap, she began making excuses as to why she could not go “night-night.” Me: Time to take a nap. Adrianna: My hot. My hot Mommy. Me: Okay, I will turn the fan on. [I turn the fan on.] Adrianna: Turn fan off. [I turn […]
Carry You
So many of my posts these days are about the cute things Adrianna says. I cannot help it; there are just so many endearing things about her speech that I want to remember and these moments pass so quickly. When it comes to going up and down the stairs, Adrianna often requests to walk up […]
Sweet Banana
Since Adrianna was a baby, one of her nicknames has been Adrianna-Banana or Miss Banana. I don’t know why since Adrianna and banana really don’t rhyme unless you pronounce banana like buh-naw-nuh. Anyways, Greg often sings a made-up song to her called Sweet Banana (with banana pronounced correctly). The tune of the song is the […]
Pbthhppbpth
I was rocking Adrianna to sleep last night when suddenly: “Pbthhppbpth!” She looked up at me, disgustedly, and said, “There’s a hair in my mouth.” She then proceeded to extract the hair. “Did you get it?” “Yes.”
Nette’s House
In the word-learning process, sometimes Adrianna mistakes two words, that are often said together, as being ONE thing/word rather than two. For instance, she had initially learned the word “shoes” but we most often used the word shoes when telling her that we needed to “Put your shoes on.” She heard the words “shoes on” […]
My Getting Tired Again
Adrianna is currently in the habit of using the word “my” for “I” or “I’m.” This results in some cute sentences. Sometimes after being ornery and coming out of a time out, she will sweetly ask me, “My naughty, Mommy?” Sometimes she will also ask this question TO be ornery, with a mischievous lilt to […]
Our Labor Day Weekend
We went up to Camp Grace in Wyoming for the Labor Day Weekend. My dad, Karen, Zach, Cindy, Kendall, Layla, and Aidan went up as well and we all shared two cabins. Overall, we had a pretty good time. We stayed up late playing card games and ping-pong on Saturday and on Sunday we had […]
Baby Chawee
Today Adrianna was playing with one of her baby dolls when she informed me that it was Baby Chawee. (One of her cousins is named Charlie.) So playing along, I said, “Hi, Baby Charlie.” When the doll didn’t respond to my greeting, Adrianna informed me that, “He’s shy” and hugged him close to herself as […]
