I am new to this blog thing. I thought I would join the rest of the world and create a blog about our lovely little family. This will be mostly about Adeline, of course! So that you are able to get to know our family, this first post will be some interesting information.
Josh and I got married in July of 2000. We are currently back home, in Houston. We have our wonderful daughter, Adeline Raleigh (14 months) and our two dogs, Froggy and Jennifer Juniper. Josh works for a local software company mainly in communications and I am a teacher. Now, onto more important things....
Adeline Raleigh! We love her to pieces. She has many nicknames. Our favorites being "babyline" and "bear". If you know her dad, you know that he can come up with a ton of different names for her and put them to tunes to make her giggle. She loves the dogs, and to our dislike, really loves to bend over and give them kisses. And of course, the LOVE to kiss back! Her favorite word right now is no. She shakes her head and says no to every single question you ask her. We amuse ourselves in the evenings asking her silly questions that she will reply "no" to. She knows a lot of other words also.... mama, dada, dog, puppy, ruff, moo, yum, outside, duck, and quack are at the top of her list of words to say. She loves to read books and will bring you three in a row when we let her. She also is working on her coordiation with popblocks. They are building toys, similar to legos. She can point to her nose and ears when asked. We are still struggling with where her eyes are!
She seems to have gotten over her hitting phase fairly quickly, although I'm sure it's able to come back at any time! Right now we are working on sitting on the couch. She thinks it's her own personal playground!
I don't think she has latched on to a "lovey". She does sleep with two in her bed, but so far she hasn't wanted to bring them out of her crib. She lovingly gives her stuffed sock baby (Baby Bob) and her pink lamb blanket (Best Friend) a kiss every night before she goes to sleep.
Oh, and anyone that knew me as a child would love to see Adeline throw a fit. According to my family, it's exactly how I looked when I was little. She FLINGS herself on the ground and cries. Luckily she hasn't hurt herself yet and she seems to get over them within a couple minutes. We have been ignoring her when she has these fits, seems to work!
So, now you know more than you EVER wanted to know about our mostly sweet Adeline. I'll post about once a week. Look forward to hearing about Adeline's Easter Egg Hunt in our neighborhood.
