Life's a Beach

Well since Finn did a beach blog, we thought we'd respond in kind.



We Saw Ducks!!!!



The sun made me do funny faces



The waves tickled my feet


But the best part was splashing dad

PEE

Our little girl is growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday we were oohing and ahhing over her sitting on her own and now we are applauding the sitting again.
As it turns out Adeline has some pretty tell tale signs that she is relieving herself. Pee and Stinky are also a part of her vocabulary (She also pointed to the moon today and said "moon" out of the blue.) So today while at Target I thought "Why not?" and got her her own potty chair to put next the "Mommy Potty". Twice during the day when she made her signs we said "Do you have to pee?" and she would go running toward the bathroom. Of course it was too late and we just changed diapers but tonight right before her bath she wanted to sit on her little chair and she used it! Happily proclaiming "Pee, Pee, Potty, Pee." She's not even 18 months yet. Then she wanted me to sit on the Mommy potty and keep her company.
I know it was all about timing and that in truth she pees in the bath every night. She probably won't do it again for six months. We just caught the right moment but she was very proud of herself and as doting parents Joel and I couldn't help but be proud too. Now she just needs to figure out how to take off her pants.

Adeline is into photos

So Dela found the camera and quickly learned that one certain button made the flash go off. This is the first picture taken completely by her. Oddly enough it was taken of her.


The rest of the pictures she took were not worth displaying, but her are some of her that are worth it.


She likes to get a close look at nature just like her ole man.







It's official. There are three loons now.
