As you can see, little lady's hair is growing out. Despite relentless attempts by her mother, there is no toleration of bows or pony tails. Sometimes I can sneak one in if she is majorly distracted but she often catches on to my schemes within the hour.
At my parent's house a few weeks ago, Adelyn emerged from the bathroom accompanied by a roll of toilet paper. Somehow she got it stuck around her foot and managed to bring it all the way down the hall before anyone noticed.
I included this picture because only moments after I snapped this shot, Adelyn made her way to the rock path in front of her, tripped and was saved from a major face plant by Aunt Les. When I say "saved" I am serious. She was headed face first into the rocks and my super sister bolted out of nowhere and snatched her up when her head was inches from the rocks. Good save, Aunt Les!
Speaking of Aunts and Uncles...
Weirdo.
Other than that, life has been busy but uneventful. Austin and I finished season three of Parenthood and plan to try to keep up with season 4 this Fall.
Adelyn is loving her new found freedom of walking.
She is also loving books. This child reads more a day than I do. It is not uncommon for her to track me down and harass me with a book until I read it to her. Tonight I was in the middle of making dinner when she came toddling in the kitchen with one of her favorites and proceeded to hit me with it until I complied to stop what I was doing and read it. I never thought I would deny reading to my child but there have been times where I just have to tell her to read it herself. This response is only met with tears and usually a full body rebellion.
I've been warned that the 15-18 month stage is a hard one. Thank goodness its challenges are accompanied by blossoming personality and quirks that make us laugh all day.
