Last Tuesday we were all frantically packing - I was off to Bentonville, AR for work; Dan to Montana to hunt antelope; Cade was going to G+G Peltier's and Adi was headed to G+G Powers' house. Needless to say - I was a bit frazzled; hoping I remembered to pack everything Adi would need while we were away. It was a rough couple of days - but I was SO excited to finally see my girl again on Friday afternoon; that was a LONG time without her! I think it's more difficult being away now that she's much more mobile and active - more to miss out on in my mind - but THANK YOU to Grandmas + Grandpa for watching our little ones (Cade too)!
This weekend was pretty relaxing - though it made me realize how much I appreciate when Dan is with us too! Now that Adilyn is on the move CONSTANTLY - it's a lot harder to get other things done around the house (like laundry and cleaning and cooking). Oh well, I'd much rather play with my kiddo and have a sandwich for dinner than eat gourmet meals (sorry Dan)!
We spent a lot of time with family this past weekend - lunch + shopping with my Mom; shopping with Grandma Powers and spent time helping my sister move out of her place. It was a full weekend, but I think we finally got organized/planned for the upcoming family photo shoot this weekend!
Dan got home from MT late last night/early this morning. They didn't get any antelope - but did get a small deer to fill his tag. We are glad to have him home!
Here's what you've been up to lately:
- crawling EVERYWHERE! sometimes it looks like you just want to get up and walk - you kind of lift your leg up and step on your foot every now and then instead of your knees when you're crawling
- playing by yourself a little more - you entertained yourself very well yesterday when I was busy in the kitchen getting dinners ready for the week
- learning how to 'make things go' - you figured out how to turn the xbox on last night and thought it was pretty funny to press the button over and over - watching the light turn on and off...though you thought it was funny when I told you 'no' and moved you away toward your toys instead - not quite the effect I had hoped for
- EATING - you're quite the little foodie already! you have loved everything we've given you to eat so far - mostly just veggies (remember this when you're sitting at the dinner table refusing to eat those little green trees)
- you are also starting to let us know how good everything tastes - as you end almost every bite with a heartfelt "mmmmm!" which makes me smile every time :)
- you also like to try to share your food with the puppy as he walks by - anxiously waiting for something to fall to his level
- you have started to become more vocal too - clearly saying 'dada' or at least making two 'da' noises in a row
- you recognize your name (usually) - when we say it from across the room, you turn and smile
- continue to pull yourself up on everything and 'cruise' around furniture wherever you can
- you've even "stood" alone for a couple of brief seconds a few times - i think you're on your way to walking in no time
- you HATE your car seat now - though i can't exactly blame you
- guess I should have appreciated the ease of portability when I had the chance!
Hope you are all doing well!
