13 Months

Ada is a lot of fun these days. She makes us laugh with her cute mannerisms, silliness and vocabulary (like the word cock-a-doodle-do). She can point to her ears, head and hair and loves to crawl into our laps with a book for us to read to her. Although she is a joy, some days are more difficult than others now that she is starting to throw tantrums. Ada loves attention and will do anything to get it, such as throwing food off her tray or ripping toilet paper into tiny bits :)

Here are a few pictures from Valentines Day. The sunglasses were hard to keep on her because she kept wanting me to wear them.

Michigan

Todd had to fly to Michigan for work last week, so Ada and I tagged along. We were there for five days and it snowed during three of them. The main reason we went was to see Todd’s family. His grandma (aka G, or GG to Ada), aunt, and several cousins live there. I also got to visit Rachel, an old friend from Washington and her four cute kids (the two oldest I used to babysit).

While Todd worked, G and I did a little bit of thrift store shopping the day before it snowed and found a fun coat for Ada for only a $1. I laugh every time I see it, it is so fluffy and pink!

12 Months

I can’t believe this is my last numbered onesie post, 12 months have flown by! Ada is doing so many new things. She can walk, stoop to pick objects up, climb, eat with a spoon, say words, mimic sounds, point to things and follow directions. She can baa, woof, cock-a-doodle-do and quack too.

Oh, and at the moment she loves to tickle her armpits and say “tickle tickle” with the hand motions :)
