Stuff we've been up to

I never sync my phone to my computer. I say never, but I just did it. Here's some pictures I've taken with it recently.

Adelaide likes accessories. Can you tell she put this on by her self?

Kid loves the swing.

At Champion park.

Right after she said, "I hug you cat."

Girl gets some serious bed (or carseat) head.
I recently went to Fun, Fun, Fun Fest where the highlight for me was my current favorite band, The National. I love them and have for awhile. The show was a little disappointing unfortunately but it still was a great time I was glad not to miss.

Adelaide and Kate rocking. Adelaide seriously getting that thing moving.

Sitting 'n Spinning. I was a little jealous. I remember how much fun that used to be.

Pretending to sleep in the cart at Sam's Club.

Right after she told me, "I love Cheerios."

A Finished Product

One of the projects Rocky has been working on is finished. I'm sure you can check it out elsewhere but I'm just going to link you here. Rocky was the cinematographer for alot of it. I think he did a great job. You'll also see a special appearance by yours truly and Baby Conly herself. This promo will be used to help recruit folks to use their skills within CCC to go out to the World.

Surprising Us Every Day

Adelaide's vocabulary is blowing our minds these days. She's speaking in complete sentences often or putting phrases together on her own. I've been trying to write some down as she says them. Here's some of the interesting things she's said in the past few days (at least they are interesting to me). I'll elaborate on ones that might need it:

No cat sink. (the cat was in the sink.)
My foot stuck mama's PJs (her foot was caught in my gown, sure 'nough)
My mouth hurts (we're guessing her teeth were hurting. her 2 year molars have been trying to come in forever).
I need that duck.
Push me wagon.
I peepee alot.
I don't want put clothes on.
I don't like it.
Bring baby bottle.
Bye Bye Kate's Momma (I told her to say bye to Colleen.)
Where'd Colleen go?
I don't like this blanket (when I replaced her normal one with a silky one).
I want toys.
I thirsty sleepy.
alot of people (she said this when we were eating breakfast at a donut shop the other morning in between saying hi to everyone that entered.)
watch the animals (wanting to see a video from the library).
I find the book.
dark outside.
No pumpkins eat that K? (telling the cat not to eat her miniature pumpkin.)
pretty bracelet.
cool necklace.
kitty's tail
kitty no fall (warning the cat of the edge of the dresser)
I'm helping k?
I like eat rice k?

I hug you bear.
I hug you monkey.
stay heres k? (telling her animals to stay where she put them. she also tells them to sit and sleep.)

Daddy is Home

Rocky was gone last week. We were so excited that he is back home. He stayed home on Friday to spend some time with us and rest so we headed to the Waco zoo. It was a little further away from the Austin zoo but way nicer. I've heard it's one of the nicest zoos in Texas. Here's lots of pictures of our day.

Before Rocky got home.

After!

We had to keep reminding Adelaide that all the animals aren't the cute cuddly stuffed ones she has at home. When we walked up to the bear cage she said, "I hug you bear."

Looking for the alligators.

Looking at the fish.

Hanging with Dad.

I thought this picture was just super cute.

Adelaide loved the jaguar. Alot of the cages were clear glass which was excellent for viewing the animals.

Adelaide was sitting here when the coyote jumped up behind her. We thought she'd get scared but instead she said, "hi!"

The otter exhibit had a sweet clear slide that went through it.

Me and Adelaide checking out her favorite animal that day-- the elephant.

Trick or Treat

Well, a couple of things didn't go as planned on Halloween this year. Rocky is currently in Rome and missed it. It was hot, and Adelaide couldn't wear her costume. And she was sick. We originally were going to go with the same people we did last year, but I didn't want to expose them to Adelaide germs so we just hung around the neighborhood. There was a party at the pool, and then we stopped at some houses on the way back home.

I made a last minute costume out of a pearl snap shirt, jeans, and a cowboy hat. Although she was excited to be a monkey, she enjoyed being a cowgirl too. Adelaide's enthusiasm wasn't as great as it would have been if she were feeling 100%. I think she still had a pretty good time though.

I love how her red hat stands out in all the pictures. This was early on in the evening while she was still holding her pony.

At the party at the pool with Jude, our neighbor's son, who was a cowboy.

Unfortunately this picture was blurry. It was perfect-- Adelaide was looking and smiling.
