Oh Happy Day!

Adalyn took 3 steps in a row today! For the past 2 weeks or so, she has been taking 1 step at a time. She has great balance as she would stand and then take one step, stop, then decide she better sit down. We have been watching her like crazy these past few days because everytime she takes her normal one step, it looks like she could just take off at any second. When Adam or I walk with her by holding her hands, she is basically pulling us in a hurry instead of us leading her like we use to. She will be 10 months old this coming Monday. Getting so big!

On another note, let me update everyone on what else sweet Miss May is doing lately. As you can see, I have not blogged in a while. By the time I get home from work, we play, play, play, then bathtime, supper, then bed. After all that, I'm pooped. Sometimes I blog from work but we have been pretty busy lately. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

First of all, Adalyn is a HOOT! She cracks us up all the time. She has such a little personality! and a little bit of an attitude when she doesn't get her way. I admit, she definitely got that from ME. Now that I have confessed that to the public world, I'll move on with my blog.

She has been clapping for a while now and anytime we ask her to do it, she will break out clapping and laughing. Also, (thanks to Aunt Erin for pointing this out) she claps with her left hand over her right hand. Have you ever thought about how you clap? It had never occured to me. But, I'm right handed so I obviously clap right over left. Adam and I have noticed everything she does is with her left hand. She eats left handed and picks up her toys left handed and as I said, claps left over right. Soo, it looks like we have a lefty on our hands!

She also loves to pass out big, opened mouth, wet kisses! Those kisses are the best. I'll say, "give mommy a kiss" and she will lean in mouth wide open and give me a kiss smack dab on the lips. It's so sweet.

The most recent accomplishment is asking her where the light is. She immediately looks straight up at the light and points. When we are in the dining room, not only will she point at the light, she will then turn around and point at the light switch! She can also flip the switch on and off with her itty bitty index finger! (I love watching her brain work so hard to figure something out) Smart, huh? She definitely got her smarts from her dad.

She has 6 teeth and we believe working on her 7th. We can just tell when she is cutting a tooth. Oh, and one more thing. She tries to say, "Mooo" when we talk about cows or go out in the pasture to look at them. She mimicks their sound after they do it.

Here are a few recent pictures of our beautiful baby girl!
