Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the beautiful 50 degree weather and take Adrianna to the zoo after I got off work. We had fun watching the geese, otters, and hippos. Each of these animals involve swimming in water, which Adrianna is fascinated with right now, so she enjoyed them the most. One thing […]

Adrianna’s Love for Bears Continues
When we visited Shad and Lynette this past weekend, Adrianna happened to spot a large, stuffed bear. It was love at first sight. From then on, he traveled to whichever part of the house we were in (at Adrianna’s request). After the introductions were made, it wasn’t long before Adrianna got a little more friendly […]
Adrianna’s New Slang
Adrianna has some new words now that kinda sound like some “naughty” slang words. Pee pees (Peaches) Poon (Spoon) Bits (Boots) As you can see, the words she is trying to say are in no way related to those slang words. But they make us laugh whenever we hear her say them. Especially the peaches […]
Red River Valley
Adrianna has this great toy that plays a lot of different songs. Many of the songs are old folk songs or songs that aren’t commonly heard in most musical toys. She loves it. One of the songs is Red River Valley. I sometimes like to sing the songs to her when they are playing, but […]
Ear Infections ‘R Us
Adrianna started getting sick last night, developing a cough which today has developed into her also having a runny nose and high fever – 104.5! She also has had diarrhea which has given her the worst diaper rash of her life. It is awful and she just shakes and cries when we change her diaper. […]
Christmas Time Still isn’t Here
We were supposed to have “Christmas” with my family this past weekend since we had to cancel our getting-together in December due to Adrianna’s RSV. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. Again. This time it was Mother Nature’s fault. The roads out of the town my sisters live in were closed due to the […]
Phone Calls
Today our childcare provider called me. Adrianna was asking to talk to me on the phone. How it all came about is one of the older girls had been talking on the phone to her mom. When she was done, Adrianna brought the phone to Janette and said, “Mommy? Mommy?” So Janette called me. When […]
Git! Excuse Me.
I mentioned a few posts ago that one of Adrianna’s new words is “Git.” Unfortunately she did learn this word from us, but it should be noted that only the dogs are ever the recipients of a “Git” when we say it. They have a bad habit of being underfoot or in prime seating areas […]
The Bearded Lady
Adrianna knows the names to many, many different body parts. She loves pointing to them on herself or on us and saying the name. “Teeth?” She asks, while showing and pointing to her teeth. “Yes, those are your teeth.” “Teeth?” She asks again, while pointing to my teeth. “Yes, very good Adrianna. Those are Mommy’s […]
Our Christmas
Our Christmas turned out quite nice. It was just the three of us, so everything was very casual. We slept in, had a simple breakfast, and just relaxed most of the day. I just had to take a couple pictures of Adrianna in her bloomers though; so adorable! Adrianna loved each one of her presents. […]
