Now that Adahleigh feels that she has mastered walking and running she has decided to move onto climbing. As you can see she insisted on unwrapping her presents while standing on another present Christmas Eve while Ash's family was here.

On Christmas day she waited till all presents were opened and then found the biggest and sturdiest present around to climb on.

She has also observed how the radio works and has taken it upon herself to open drawers and climb in them so that she can run the controls.


So far there have been no accidents from her monkey play, but the other day she tried to run through a closet door, but instead caught the corner and about tore her ear off. You can't see it in the picture, but about an hour after it happened the distal end of her ear was bright red from the cut on while the proximal portion wasn't. It looked pretty funny.

Snow! Snow! and more Snow!

Pocatello got hit pretty good during Christmas week. So Friday I had to literally go dig out the car so we could go get some groceries. Adahleigh was really excited to get out of the house again as you can tell. Ash is really excited that she can put Adahleigh's hair up now too. You can see her two antennas in the pics.

 

Gingerbread House

This year we decided to make gingerbread houses from scratch. Ashley was the one most interested in it, but Adahleigh sure liked sampling all the different types of candy.


Everything was going well, but the frosting wasn't drying very fast. To help the house from collapsing we put candy cane braces at the edge of the roof (as you can see).

The braces only prolonged the inevitable, so after about a half and hour the house looked like this.

After about an hour or so this ended up being the end product, without any help from Adahleigh.

Sledding

We took Adahleigh out sledding the other day after we got a few inches of snow. She enjoyed riding in the tube and walking in the snow, but didn't want to play in it much.

In the Life of Adahleigh!!

I have not updated much on what adahleigh has been up to so let me catch you up.

-She has been off the bottle ever since her birthday, now she likes sippy cups or the cups with the straws.
-She is such a good little eater and is learning to not be that messy. (there isn't much she wont eat).
-Everyday it seems like she is getting faster and faster!!
-She is talking a lot more and is just like a little parrot. She is really good with her a's and can say adahleigh and azure. Adam has recently taught her lizard, she can say thank you, and is learning please. A few more words, fishes, help, up, uh oh, NO,
-She loves to just jabber though, her favorite is when you tell her no she usually turns around and points her little finger at you and just start jabbering. It is the funniest thing.
-She has started being my little helper anything i do she helps with, the other day it was washing the dishes and then helping me put them away, she likes to help feed her fish, she loves to help me with the laundry and every-time i dust she has to go get a towel from my towel drawer and run it along any surface she can get her hands on, vacuuming has become a favorite she use to run when i turned it on but now she has to try to help push.
-She loves running around and hanging out with her friends.
- Last but not least she now sleeps in a big girl bed. We have been out of the crib for 5 days now and mom and dad have actually had 4 full nights of sleep.

Everyday she finds a new way to entertain us, she is such a joy to have around.
