22 months

oh our sweet adelyn ann!!! you are 22 months old today and we cannot believe it!! ::cue tears now::

ad, you are miss independent! each and everyday you are trying to prove yourself more and more. and miss ad, you are doing a good job of it. a real good job. although, thank goodness, you still love to be babied once in awhile. you LOVE to be rocked and would sometimes prefer to carried all day long (just around the house - not when we're out, of course).

the BIGGEST thing this past month is you now speak FULL SENTENCES!!! everything is full sentences. you were using phrases and basically your just put "I" in front of everything. you also end everything with "mommy" or "daddy." so everything is, "i want a bite, mommy." "i hungry, daddy." "i want up, mommy." "i want to color, daddy." "i need help, mommy." it's been so fun to hear your little voice more and more! you're cutest word is "yahhh." and you say "no" all the time. it's more "NO!!" or "NO NENA!!"

you're pretty demanding. you always do the slow push on our thighs saying, "sit mommy" to get us to sit and give you our full attention. :)

you still have quite the temper...
you swat. you pinch. AND bite. :( this is you going after your sister's hand (don't worry i stopped her). and she currently has a nice bruise on her forearm from your teeth. you've also left some bruises on your friends. :(
another new thing this month is your newly developed fear of heights! we can still 'toss' you in the air if it's super duper quick, but if we hold you up there or do it the tiniest bit slower, you are terrified! you hate it. to the point that when you're on your changing table, you are holding on for dear life! no joke. unfortunately this has not curbed your desire to climb. apparently you're only scared of heights when it's on your terms. shocker, ad. i have a feeling this will be a theme for quite some time. ::grin::

you're imagination is really growing, ad. you love to pretend play. you're a great little momma to your dolls and are always going somewhere. you push your stroller with a purse on your arm, walk away from me and, loooking back, say, "bye mommy. la-lu."

it's so weird that we are about to plan your second birthday party, little ad. we're reminded of your babiness all the time though. like every time you suck your thumb and play with your ear...


our sweet adelyn, happy 22 months! you are so much fun! you love puzzles, stickers, books and colors. you have a sweet tooth and a hard head (seriously you hit your head all the time). you are a tiny little thing FULL of spunk. you have very good manners, but are as fiesty as helk. you're so extremely lovable and we can't help but laugh at you everyday. you're really so funny. you're so smart...maybe too smart. but really, you are awesome and i believe it's going to be a wild ride, but we're going to love it!
