The girls have made a ton of changes lately. I started this blog to document our journey and those changes. So I thought I would share a little about each of my girls and what I want to remember.
Adelyn: 32 months
In the last couple of weeks, Adelyn has begun talking so much, and not just more, but more clearly. Our favorite thing she says is, “Sure, why not?”. Just so clear and sweet when we ask her to do something. Usually only when we ask her to do something she wants to do, because if it isn’t, she just pretends she can’t hear us… She also tells Emery she is, “SO grouchy!” when she cries. Where do they even come up with this stuff?!?
Another favorite recent moment is was in the bath tub, she has a net that is full of toys. She emptied the net, stuck it up on the tile because it has suction cups, stuck her plastic orange fish in it, and started yelling, “Swim down, swim down, swim down”. We had no idea what she was doing, or saying until it hit us, that she was reenacting a scene from her favorite movie, “Finding Nemo”.
Adelyn is obsessed with Caillou, (I, however, want to pull my hair out when I hear his voice), kitty cats, watermelon and ketchup. (Usually together…) Currently this week she is loving all things mermaid, putting on lipstick, and growing her garden. (You can see a photo of that on Instagram)
Emery: 11 months
So many fun changes with Emery lately. The most recent change is her beginning to walk. I forgot this stage – so incredibly neat to see her first steps, but then realizing we have to baby proof all over again, and the days of our house being half picked up are long gone. She is into everything!
Emery makes the cutest squinty-faced smile, says “Uh-Oh” whenever something is dropped, and loves to dance with her sister. I am now requested every morning to put on music for a dance party. It gets our day going on a good note and gives me time to make an iced coffee and get breakfast on the table.
She loves books, especially ones with monkeys in them??, baby dolls, snacking, and growling at the dog.
These are my girls, and I love them so much. Grateful as ever to be their mama and spend my days (and late nights) with them.
