Little lady is 19 months old!

Today is Adelyn's 19th month birthday!  She is becoming such a toddler these days.  She is my little cuddle bug who asks to "raaaa" (rock) before bed and nap time each day.  It doesn't have to be long, but she wants to sit for at least 30 seconds and lay her head on my shoulder before she lays down, so sweet!

Her personality is coming out more and more each day.  She can be feisty, silly and sweet- all within a few seconds of each other.  When she was little Jared nicknamed her "squeaks".  This month it has become more of a high-pitch, ear piercing squeal!  When Katelyn is doing something that she doesn't like she will stick her hand out as far as she can and squeal, "NOOOO".   While the sound actually hurts my ears, I'm also glad that she has her own opinion, we are just working on how to get that opinion out without squealing!

Adelyn is really enjoying crafts these days.  She painted a pumpkin a few nights ago and then at Bible Study today she colored a picture.  The lady in her room told me that she was very particular with her colors and wanted to use just about each and every one of them!

Adelyn's attention span is also developing.  She will sit and build with blocks for a while and will sit and watch a whole show with Katelyn. 

Adelyn has been having some tummy trouble this past month, so we've adjusted her diet (no fruits or juice- more fat) to try to get her back on track.  We will see if that does the trick.  She has also slowed down on her eating.  She was finishing her food at each and every meal and asking for more.  I was actually having to cut her off because she would just keep eating.  That has stopped however.  It is strange to see, but most meals she actually has food left on her plate now!  She has also discovered the joy of dip, if she sees that someone else has some, she wants some too!

Adelyn loves shoes and will bring me shoes all throughout the day to put on her.  She loves to carry her bag into church or Bible Study.  She loves baby dolls and plays with Katelyn's all the time.  She will bring me 5 shirts for the baby doll and gets upset if I can't get them all on the doll (I'm telling you, she has an opinion!!!).  Adelyn gets really excited when she hears Jared's car pull into the driveway each night.  She turns to me and starts saying, "Dada, Dada, Dada" then runs to the door to greet him.  I know he loves coming home to that each night!  Happy 19th month birthday sweet lady!
