Girly Girl

 

Even though she loves climbing, Addy is very much a girly girl. She loves her beads and jewelry.  She has also decided she loves carrying a "purse." Sometimes Addy's purse is a bucket for the beach (like in the video of her walking), sometimes it is a picnic basket, sometimes she will steal your purse to use as her own.  My mom bought Addy her own purse (a kid version) to use at her house and then we had a dilemma, what would we use as a purse at home?  Because I am such a great mommy, and didn't want my nice big Coach purses getting dragged around the house, I gave Addy my wristlet to use what we are home.  Yup, she is carrying Coach at a ripe old age of 16 months.   Addy loves it and I love that I get to share my love of girly things with her.

 

 

Climbing

I am really sorry I haven't posted over the last couple of weeks.  It truly has been a crazy (but fun) month.  I am going to try to get some posts done while Addy is taking her nap today, so hopefully we will get caught up soon!

So, Miss Adelyn Kay has decided she loves climbing.  She loves stairs and climbs up them on a daily basis (nice for the Momma who doesn't have to carry her up anymore!).  She climbs onto the ottoman of her glider so she can sit and read, climbs into the refrigerator/freezer when it is open and now she likes to climb on the dishwasher.  Yup, the dishwasher.

We are discouraging this practice cause I am a little concerned we will break the door of the dishwasher off, but I did want to take a picture. :-)

Father's Day

 to the most attentive, loving, caring daddy I know!!

Walking...FINALLY

This past weekend Adelyn decided she liked walking.  In fact on Saturday we were able to get her go 5-6 step before she realized she was not holding onto anything.  Sunday, she felt like showing off for her daddy.  That is when Tim shot this video:

Today is Friday and I would say Adelyn has maybe really walked 2 days this week.  She is just not interested.  Oh well.  We have proof that she can walk, so maybe she will start walking more soon. :-)

Sometimes...

Sometimes...

I am lazy and do not want to cook dinner for just Addy and I.

So we have microwaveable pasta from TJ's and yogurt.  

And Addy looks like this at the end of our meal.

SeaLife/Legoland

I know I have been a slacker in the blogging department. I am not usually one for excuses, but man, we have been a little busy.  Last weekend alone we visited with some friends from Norcal, went to a wedding, and then Addy & I headed to SeaLife/Legoland.  That mixed in with teething, allergies, some sleepless nights, the end of school and we have been a little too busy to blog and I am sorry for those of you who love the blog.
You must also forgive me for not taking my camera to dinner & breakfast with friends and to the wedding.  It didn't fit into my purse.  I did bring it when we took advantage of our free ticket to SeaLife/Legoland (there are some perks to being a teacher in So Cal). So, I hope you enjoy the pictures I do have. And hopefully life will slow down in a few weeks when I am on summer break!

The Crew

Love the Lego sculptures throughout SeaLife

"That is the life." -Brad

Love Bug really was interested in the fish this time...yay!

Especially when she got to touch!

And there were some cool animals, like this nautilus.

But I was disappointed in the Octopus Garden that has been overly advertised on the radio...

this little guy was the only octopus I saw.

Love this little girl

I had never been to Legoland before...amazing Lego sculptures!

Even Love Bug was impressed

So, here is to a great trip to SeaLife/Legoland and only a few short weeks to summer!

Tiger Chair

 If you saw this adorable chair sitting by itself in an Ace Hardware, you would buy it too, right?  Even better, it was on sale.  I just could not resist and my little girl is thrilled with the purchase.

And reading books, of course.
