15 months

Adelyn had her 15 month appointment on Friday and she passed with flying colors!  She is 31 inches tall (75%) and weighs 22 pounds 14.5 ounces (50%).  She did great with her shots and the nurses took special care of her:)  She's saying her own version of the following words: daddy, thank you, this, & uh-oh.  She has started really laughing especially when egged on by mommy & daddy.  She loves taking toys out of her basket and handing them to one of us one-by-one. Adelyn has daddy's dancing bug too:)  We've had a great long weekend and it's not over yet! While Daddy worked we walked over to the park. Adelyn is her father's daughter in the fact that she would MUCH rather walk in the grass and dirt than on the sidewalk and she is her mother's child because she picks up every leaf that she comes across...always cleaning!

The wild one!

Typical pose, thumb in mouth and playing with hair

Out of the stroller...YES!

Holding tight to all her leaves:)

Mommy there is a doggie!

Here is a lil video of our munchkin:) 

happy valentine's day

We had a great low-key Valentine's day:) Brandon make a yummy dinner and gave me some beautiful flowers.  Adelyn borrowed Daddy's truck and got me some delicious cupcakes downtown;)  And our Valentine just made our day (as usual...)

BEE!

So I've neglected to mention that Aunt Lucy taught Adelyn how to "read."  You'll see in the video that she can now "read" beeeeee!  Thanks Aunt Lucy:)

I realize I should have posted this during the game because it didn't turn out so well but entertaining an almost 14 month old is first priority:)

walking

So Adelyn has preferred to crawl for weeks but she is now finally walking more than crawling!  She started taking multiple steps at one time when we were putting up the Christmas tree but then went back to crawling as her main mode of transportation.  Well, over break she started officially walking! Her little waddling butt is the cutest thing I've ever seen (remember I am her mom) and she's even started "running" if I can even call it that.  I got some video over the weekend.  As you can see she still loves hanging on to one of our fingers.  I'm totally eating that up because I know it won't be long before she's pushing our hand away...

happy new year's!

Happy 2012 to all! We rung in the new year with great friends...in fact some of the best! We headed down to Richmond to spend the night at Elizabeth & Matt's.  They were wonderful hosts of course and we all enjoyed delicious apps & Elizabeth's yummy turkey chili! Mary Addison & Adelyn looked adorable in the UVa gear (although it didn't help too much...) and we even got a shot of the eight of us!
