I am still amazed at how quickly Adrianna learns words. We would ask her “Where’s Grammy” or “Where’s Grampy” and she could point them out really quickly. At dinner last night, we asked her, “Where’s Mommy?” and she pointed to me. Then we asked, her “Where’s Daddy?” and she looked around for Greg (he was […]

Toys, Learning How to Undress, and the Zoo
I know that toys, undressing, and the zoo really don’t sound like they should all go together. But that is a summary of our last couple of days. Adrianna loves climbing into things. Lately, instead of just pulling our tupperware out of its place in our cupboards, she now climbs into the cupboard, moving everything […]
Let Your “Es” Mean Yes
I have heard so many stories of toddlers who fall in love with saying “No!” Thankfully we haven’t hit that stage yet with Adrianna. In fact, everything is “Yes” (or “es”) with Adrianna. The ‘s’ is a little mushy, but it is yes all the same. “Adrianna, do you want some more milk?” “Es” “Do […]
First Night Away From My Baby
Last night was my first night away from home without Adrianna. I sure missed my baby girl. I went up to Wyoming to help my sister out with Layla and Aidan. I am not sure how much help I really was overall though. I have the equipment, but not a working supply so I really […]
Day 3 at the Zoo
As I was getting ready to upload pictures of my new niece and nephew, I realized I still needed to upload pictures from our third trip to the zoo. I love having this zoo membership; we can go as many times as we want and only stay a few hours, which works out great for […]
Must Not Disturb the Routine
Adrianna showed us today that we must not disturb her routine. Since I usually work an early day shift, Adrianna is used to being the first child picked up from her childcare. So today, when I went in to work a little late and thus stayed an hour later than usual, she was not happy. […]
Another day at the Zoo
Our childcare provider is on vacation today, so I had a little holiday from work and stayed home with Adrianna. I decided that we should spend a part of our day at the zoo. It was just the two of us, but that worked pretty well as we (meaning I) could decide which animals and […]
Twirly Girl
Adrianna is more little girl and less little baby every day. She enjoys “reading” books together more than anything. She will bring me books and climb into my lap so I can read them to her. This reading still consists more of her turning the pages before I can actually read the text on the […]
An Afternoon at the Pool
I took Adrianna to an indoor public pool this afternoon. I recently discovered that we have a pool and library really close to our house. Only took me 4.5 years to realize that they are only a couple blocks away from the grocery store that we frequent. *shakes head* Anyways, back to this afternoon. This […]
TV Turnoff Update
I had posted a few weeks ago about Adrianna’s new attraction to buttons, specifically the power button on the TV. A blogging buddy, Nettie, mentioned that one method we could try is leaving the volume on really loud so that when she turns the tv on, it would startle her. This totally worked. We actually […]
