Adrianna has several toy hippos. One of them happens to play the song Für Elise when you push on his back. So now every time Adrianna hears that song from other sources, she gets excited and exclaims, “Hippo’s song!” Another one of her hippos is actually a basket which we bought her last year for […]

Old MacDonald Had Y and Y
Adrianna loves to sing, but she often mixes up the words to the different songs she knows. Here is a video of her playing Daddy’s guitar and singing Old MacDonald had Y and Y. It is a mixture of Old MacDonald and the ABC song. (When she sings the ABC song normally, the letter Y […]
Too Big
I was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner tonight and Adrianna was in our living room. I peeked around the corner to check on her and saw her trying to get into her toy Little People © barn . Like literally trying to cram herself into it. She got about as far as her ankles. […]
Word Progress
Not only is Adrianna making great strides in the number of words she is learning on a daily basis, but previously learned words are becoming more clear as well. Greg and I were discussing how proud we are of her progress, but also how sad we are to say goodbye to some of her cute […]
Kiss My Elbow
Greg was rocking Adrianna in our glider chair last night and she asked him for a kiss. So he kissed her sweetly on her nose. This prompted a little game. Adrianna requested, “Kiss my hand”. So Greg kissed her hand. Adrianna held up her other hand and said, “Kiss my ah-one hand.” So Greg kissed […]
Our LONG Vacation (Part 2)
Fifth Stop: Indiana We headed off to Indiana on Friday afternoon. We were there to attend two family reunions, the first of which was the First Annual Yergler Reunion. All of my aunts and uncles on my dad’s side were there, along with many of my cousins and their children. Most of us stayed overnight […]
Our LONG Vacation (Part 1)
We just got back from a really long trip that took us all over the central United States to visit family and friends. We were gone a total of 11 days and put over 3000 miles onto our Rav4. So I have lots to blog about. I think I will have to split it up […]
The Boss
Since Adrianna mimics so much and she has such a cute way of saying things, it is fun to teach her new sayings. Greg has taught her to say, “Hey Dude” and I recently taught her that “Daddy’s the boss.” This actually works out well if she is misbehaving and Greg tells her to stop, […]
The Island Bus
Back in late 2006, Greg made us a beautiful island for our kitchen. Only one piece remains to be finished, and that is to make and put drawers in it. However, it hasn’t been a huge priority for us to finish that portion as Adrianna likes to play inside it. Today, she was calling it […]
Shut De Doh
Adrianna requests Greg to play and/or sing this song to her pretty much every day.
