A Busy Week

This week has been a busy one. An old friend of mine, Stacy, was in town so we got to hang out a couple of times along with Colleen. I also got to hang out with some newer friends Catherine and Melanie this week. Some other friends of ours moved yesterday and today so we helped with that too. Adelaide spent alot of time in her pack n play yesterday along with our friend's baby Avery watching the guys load up the U-Haul. Rocky was working alot with another short film at the beginning of the week so having so much going on was a nice distraction.

Adelaide is still teething. I canNOT wait for these molars to come in. None of the other teeth Adelaide has seemed to bother her nearly as much as these. I think all of them have at least partially broken through the gum now so we're getting closer. When she's done she'll have 12 teeth! We were supposed to go camping last weekend but with all the added whininess and trouble sleeping Adelaide was already having, we passed on that idea.

This week Adelaide has begun saying even more words. She's now added eye, outside, hi, down, and ball to her vocabulary. "Hi" and "eye" are quite distinct (maybe it's because she's either waving with "hi" or pointing to her eye when she says "eye"). Adelaide usually whispered "hi" making it even cuter. The others are words only a mother can understand. Her "outside" sounds like "ow sigh" though she is usually looking out the window when she says this one; that's helpful. "Ball" is the word that is the most off. She pretty much says "Dall" but does the sign for ball when she says it. Her sign for ball and more are almost identical, we just have to think about the context. She's also signing the word for milk now too.

Here she is saying "hi." She actually says it twice, but whispers it the first time.


And "outside."


Besides all the hanging out with folks, we also took a couple of trips to the park via the bike and trailer. I'm really enjoying that thing. Adelaide likes it too except for when her helmet falls in front of her face. We had a great time. Adelaide can now go up the stairs and down the slide on her own. She proudly showed me she could do it over and over. Of course, I was her spotter the entire time. For once the wetness on her shirt is not drool, it's the consequence of me leaving her with her sippy cup in the bike trailer.
