Adaline has really become a Daddy's girl in the last little while. The babbles she makes almost even sound like dadadada, but there is a lot of babababa in there too (not much mamamama). Anyway, we are excited that she is beginning to "talk" more, and it is fun listening to her play in her crib and on the floor. Adaline has been a bit under the weather in the last week, battling a fever, congestion, and her first tooth. The tooth hasn't quite broken the surface, but we can certainly feel the edge of it and know it is coming any time now. This last week has been a bit rough on all of us sleep wise, so we are all ready for the tooth to appear. We did take her to the doctor after a few days of the fever and found out she is now over 17 pounds. Wow!
Almost two weeks ago, we took a trip back up the mountain to celebrate Christmas with the camp staff in Sparta. The folks around camp that keep the place running throughout the year all gather together annually to eat dinner and enjoy the holiday spirit. Shane went up early with a few folks to get this picture of Santa at camp for the Cheerio Christmas card. Then we met up with him in Sparta at the dinner. Shane and his fellow office staff performed a song in silly hats to amuse the guests, and Adaline tried out one of the hats. She was not happy about it.
Shane and I take turns on weekends sleeping in. One morning I woke up to find this! :)
We have been getting ready for Christmas around our house. We got the tree and decorations up, and even had our annual Christmas party. It was great to see some friends and spend a little time catching up. Adaline did so well at the party and, after visiting people for a few hours, went right to sleep so that Shane and I could remain with our guests. Adaline has been sitting with me and playing on the floor while I wrap packages and get them ready to ship out. Just yesterday we were getting a box ready to ship, and Adaline got a bit excited about seeing what was inside. She toppled over from her sitting position, hitting her face on the corner of the box. So, she now has her first big boo-boo, right on the side of her face! :(
Friday afternoon, the forecast called for some snow and winter mix. We were released early from school, and I got to spend the afternoon at home playing as it snowed and iced. Yesterday, Shane and I took Adaline outside to experience her first snow. She was not a bit interested! Perhaps we will get more snow when she can appreciate it.
