Self-Feeding

I have been trying to get Adalei to feed herself for months, but because she doesnt' put things in her mouth it has been hard to convince her. We went to Grandma Schenk's this weekend and look...eating a cracker.

For Uncle Trevor

So Trevor bought Adalei this big fluffy cute bear when he saw her for the first time over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately Adie was terrified of the poor thing. Finally, she gave in to loving it and now mauls it to death!

First Snow

We finally got some snow that stuck- and Adalei looked so adorable in her hat! She wasn't too sure about the snow...

Petting Zoo

Adalei is a such an animal lover! On our way to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving we stopped and saw Colleen and Elijah. I love the baby horse pic!

Applesauce

On my mom's suggestion I decided to make some applesauce for Adalei. Of course I had to think of some way to entertain her while I was doing it so I let her play with the apple peelings. The next time I looked over she had this huge apple peel just hanging off of her head it was hilarious! She is such a ham now- the camera comes out and she smiles!

Big Girl

I got Adalei ready to go out yesterday and she looked so adorable I had to take a couple pictures. As I was looking them over I realized how grown up she is getting! As a mom you feel excited and scared and happy and sad... (and and and) all at once. But then I think-darn-that means I am getting older too...

Top Teeth

Adalei's top teeth are coming in! Yeah! Ok, that is what I thought at first but then she started grinding them all day long-yikes! Since she doesn't put hardly anything in her mouth I guess this probably alleviates some of the tooth pain but it drives Gray and I crazy. We had a hard time getting a pic of them...
