Adelyn

I have not posted for a long time... so I thought I would update. I forget my camera everywhere I go so I have no pictures. But here are some facts about Adelyn and helps you get a better picture of the little person she has become.

1. Her new favorite movie is Mulan. She told her dad she was "going to make a man out of him" and when we get ready to go places... all on her own she came up with "move out"!

2. She is stinkin smart. She has a broad vocabualary and annunciates (spelling?) so well. People think she is about 3 when she talks. My Grandma Orton was right when she asked Addy if she was going to be smart "like your daddy"? I guess I am the not the smart one!

3. She LOVES to sing. Her favorite songs are wheels on the bus, alphabet (crazy huh?), popcorn popping, head shoulders knees and toes, twinkle twinkle, and Jesus wants YOU for a sunbeam.

4. She is hilarious. I honestly laugh all day long with her. Some of the things that come out her mouth just make me wonder where she comes up with these things.

5. She loves to dance. She tells me... shake your booty mom! We love to dance on the beds to whatever music is on the radio.

6. She loves books. Adelyn sits down and pretends to read the books herself. She loves going to storytime... but mostly to be social.

7. She is a social butterfly. Thats right! Even though she may look all daddy... she has my personality. She will talk to anyone about anything.

8. She is a daddys girl. We call Dad on the phone when she and I wake up to say hello every morning. She tells him that she misses him and usually makes up some story of what we are going to do that day (like we are going to the park when we are not).

9. She is such a happy girl. Her smile and laugh light up a room anywhere she is and is very contagious. She is almost always smiling... so my days are filled with laughter and smiles. I love IT!

10. She loves to color. She has a cardboard at my moms office where she loves to pull out all the markers and just color. She could do this for hours.

11. She LOVES her grandmas. She has so much fun shopping with grandma Rowley and having "tea parties" with grandma Young. She asks me almost daily, can we go see grandma? I love having both families so close so she can make great memories with them.

I am so lucky to be her MOM! I LOVE IT AND I LOVE HER!
