I've failed at blogging...

Well the blog route didn't turn out but here is an update anyway. I have been on spring break this week which was a MUCH welcomed break!! To say that life has been a roller coaster the past month is an understatement. Addison opened the lake up for weekends the first weekend in April. I graduate in 4 weeks. Where has the time gone?! Our house is still under construction and nothing has been done since Christmas but this summer we will have more time.

Adalynn and I went to the beach (North Myrtle Beach) with Addison's mom Daphne for the weekend. That was nice. Adalynn still HATES the sand. She is a water baby but despises the sand. She absolutely loved all the birds flying at the beach and had fun chair hopping. Easter Sunday we went to church and I dropped her off at the nursery which was a bitter sweet moment. This was her first time in any type of daycare type setting let alone interaction with more than one other child. I set her down and she crawled off to the bookcase and started pulling blocks off the shelf. I went to play with her and show her how they worked (they were circle shaped very cool) and she played for about a minute or so before she eyed the play kitchen and was off to go play in the kitchen. When I came and picked her up they said she did great. I was worried she would be mean to the other kids (she hits the dogs sometimes) but they said she did awesome and was a shy but she played and did very well. She didn't cry except small short "sympathy" cries when another child would cry. When I told them that it was her first time in that tpe of setting they were all amazed at how well she did. Made me a proud momma!!

Adalynn is STILL not walking nor shows any signs of walking. She will walk pushing her shopping cart or stroller but no desire to walk solo. She has a play kitchen that was bought for her and is actually VERY similar to the one I had growing up and she LOVES to "cook" you things and you pretend to eat them. Typically it is block soup or golf ball dumplings. ;)

If she is awake and hears the shower she will beat and cry outside the door until you let her in, and if you do not undress her and put her in the shower she will climb in clothed. She loves bathtime. Adalynn is still a bottomless pit in terms of eating. She has a few new foods that she likes...

1. Cantaloupe
2. Sometimes Chicken
3. Steak in small pieces
4. Salad with ginger sauce
5. Breakfast Pizza
6. Okra
7. and the list goes on and on...

She loves drinking from a straw and from cups with no lids (this only happens with LOTS of supervision). But her bottles have been gone for quite some time. Now to get rid of the retched paci!!! She has really become attached to it just in the last 6 months since she has started teething. :(  Speaking of teething she has her 4 front teeth on the top and bottom and there are 2 TINY specs of her lower right molar poking through.

She loves Cheerwine & Sweet Tea if you leave you cup out and it has a straw she WILL drink it all!! As for growth about a month ago she was almost 21lbs and 30 inches tall. This puts her at about the 30th percentile for height and the 25th percentile for weight so she is finally leveling out!! :D

I graduate on Mother's Day. Hooray!! and then Adalynn and I will be heading down to FL for a month. Addison will join us more than likely Father's Day weekend for a week before we all head back to NC. We are looking forward to spending time in FL with my family but will miss our NC family. Sending much love to everyone.
