BARKER

I was so good at updating my blog and this last week I have been pretty horrible. I was going to post last Friday, but my neighbor was over at my house with her dog, and her dog chewed my computer cord in half. So I have been without a computer the last several days until now.

A couple of posts ago I blogged about Adeline's new friends (the 2 goldfish). Let's just say... Adeline's OLD friends. We only had them for a week and then they both died. I hurried and flushed them down the toilet before Adeline saw them floating in the water. I am pretty bad at keeping things alive. I fed them everyday and changed their water, so who knows what happened.

Last Wednesday was my birthday. Just another ordinary day. Funny how that happens when you get older. I was very impressed though because Abe actually made me a cake!! That has never happened before. Usually I make my own cake on my birthday. Our good friends watched Adeline so that we could go out to dinner and eat as well. Overall, it was a good day.


Adeline is becoming quite the character. She is always making goofy faces, noises and doing funny things. She LOVES to show off. She is starting to put two words together. She will say, "Chloe bed", or "night night mama". We are pretty sure that she said "I love you Chloe" the other day. She is also becoming very independent. She won't even sit in her chair anymore to eat. She has to sit on the bench, or on a big chair. She most of the time arches her back and screams if I try to attempt to put her in her own chair.

We have been teaching Adeline to count " 1, 2, 3, GO!" So Adeline always says, " 2, GO!", "2, GO". She will chase Abe around saying this until he spins her around. It's pretty funny.

Adeline was doing great at potty training. Last week I went FIVE days without changing a poopy diaper. It was wonderful. Almost every day she was 100% accident free. I wish I could say the same about this week. On Sunday it seems like it went downhill. When we are away from home at a store or something, she always tells me she needs to go and keep her diaper dry. But if we come home and she has a diaper on, she is being very stubborn about going in the potty. Who knows. My goal is to have her fully potty trained though in the next two months. She should be, because she seems like she totally gets it and is very close.

Tonight our neighbors brought over a doll house for Adeline that they wanted her to have. It is so adorable and Adeline loves it! She played with it all night. We are so lucky to have such good neighbors and friends here.


Here are a couple pictures that I took tonight that I thought were cute :)
