BIG NEWS:
Adalyn turned 1 year old! Yes, it's already been a whole year since this "little" 10 pound chunkster found her way into our lives!
She is getting so big! (ok, she started off big)... She started walking by herself a couple weeks ago and is still gaining her confidence. She sticks out her tongue like Michael Jordan and grins the entire time!
From this:
To this:
Some of her favorites:
- doggies--she LOVES dogs, can say the word perfectly, pants like a dog, pretty much thinks every animal is a dog, and likes to pat dogs...when we are outside and she hears a dog bark from blocks away she reaches for it, gasps excitedly, and says "doggie!"
- she also says, "pup pup" (the name of my parents dog--yeah, it's name is pup...haha)
- when she is hungry (or sees other people eating) she makes tasting sounds by smacking her lips together
- she likes eating whatever anyone else is eating and always scrounges for food
- loves to play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake
- isn't afraid of anyone (not even uncle Steve, haha) and will go to anyone willingly
- likes to pat...example: last week at stake conference she went up to a guy who was sitting a couple chairs away from me, she put her hand on his leg, looked up at him and proceeded to gently pat his knee (she later did the same thing to his shoulder while she was standing on a chair between us)
- climbing stairs
- anything outside!
Some of my favorites:
- staying home with her!
- her big grin
- her slobbery kisses that she is sometimes stingy with and the big oooo-wha sound she makes
- lately when I get her from naps she first gives me her stuffed doggie, then her blanket, then reaches up for me...melts my heart
- listening to her talk, sing, and play by herself when she is supposed to be taking a nap
- when she comes and tickles my feet or belly and says "ticka ticka ticka ticka"
- when she "cusses"...she mutters things under her breath in a really angry tone...can't help but laugh!
- she is so easy! she still gets everyone's attention when we go out anywhere and has a great demeanor
stats:
weight: 19.7 pounds (approx 20th percentile)...when she was born I think she was 99th!
height: 28 inches (approx 20th percentile)
head: 45 (50th percentile)
We took her to an allergist last week who confirmed that she is in fact allergic to milk! (poor thing broke out in hives a couple months ago when she had milk-based formula for the first time) She is also allergic to peanuts. sad. no peanut butter or snickers for her!
(my best friend Laura took these pics and sent me these sneak peak photos...can't wait to see the rest)
