We've created a monster!

Well, Tim did. A few nights ago he gave Adelynn some of his fudgesicle. BIG mistake. Now she's like a little scavenger every time one of us has one, begging and grunting until we give her some. Here is a video of her from tonight (make sure your sound is on...that is the new sound she makes whenever she likes what she is eating - which is everything!)

And after she shared mine, she went right after Tim.

Mmmm, it's so good!

I'm sure it feels good on that tooth she has coming in. And no dad, this does not mean you can give her Dove bars!

It's a Miracle!

That's right, after 9 months Adelynn finally took a bath without crying hysterically! She actually sat there and played. We may actually have a clean child for a change!

It may not be a smile, but as long as it isn't tears, we'll take it!

Minnesota

We took Adelynn on her first trip to Minnesota last weekend to meet the rest of the family. She did a lot better in the car than we thought she would. She really only got fussy during the last hour or so. But by Sunday she looked like she wanted to slap me everytime I had to put her in the carseat. Here are some pictures from the weekend, including her cousin Ava's 1st birthday party!

Meeting great-grandma and grandpa for the first time...


With Aunt Val


I think she likes Uncle Dave!


Tim and I took her into the pool at our hotel for the first time. We had some reservations, since bathtime still induces hysterics, but she did pretty good. Of course, when we tried to put her in the kiddie pool at Ava's party later that day, she completely lost it!

In the swimsuit cover up I made her...

Swimming makes me tired, mommy!

Don't even think about putting my face in the water, daddy!

At Ava's party...

I like your hat....no, I like your hat!

She was mesmerized by Heather

With Melissa

Her cousins Olivia and Rovante (I hope I'm spelling that right!)

Meeting Frank Otis, the world's funniest dog

And in other exciting news, Adelynn is getting her first tooth! Here's hoping it breaks through soon so she can get some sleep again

Happy 9 month birthday!

Adelynn is 9 months old today and I continue to be amazed each and every day at all of her new discoveries and accomplishments. She can now sit up to play, go from laying down to sitting on her own, is making some headway into finger foods (she loooooooved pancakes), can pull herself up to standing and even took a few scoots on her knees on Sunday (I wouldn't say she's crawling though...still doing that cute wounded soldier army crawl thing of hers). We go to the pedi next Thursday, and I'm hoping she will be up to at least 15 pounds now. She had a fun weekend (minus the car ride) up to Minnesota to meet her family and attend her cousin Ava's 1st birthday party. Here are her pics from this month...

What Adelynn thinks about being 9 months old...

Trying to eat the camera...

Adelynn spent about 10 minutes the other night trying to pick up the sun. Cutest thing ever.

Adelynn's first grape popsicle...

Mmmmm...that was pretty good, daddy!

Adelynn's new trick that scared the bejeezus out of mommy!

You can kind of see her first bruise in this picture (upper left part of her forehead). That's what face planting into the Leap Frog music table will do to ya!

I will try to post some pictures of our weekend in Minnesota tomorrow!
