Mountains, 16 months and more.....

Hello everyone! I did not realize how long it had been since I posted until my brother reminded me.... sorry for those who check back often :)

Anyways, June has been a fairly busy month for us. We just got back from a great extended weekend trip to my parents house in the mountains of Jefferson, NC with Gram, Papee, Uncle Ben and Aunt Rebecca; sadly Aunt Anna was working in Oregon and could not come. We hiked, canoed, played games and went to a bluegrass music festival. It was definitely a lot of fun! Adelyn thoroughly enjoyed her first trip to the mountains and we cant wait to go back. Here are a few pictures from the trip....




Sunday was fathers day as well as Adelyn's 16mo birthday. She is still tottering on the verge of walking. She will occasionally take a few steps in the house, on the beach, in the park or at daycare. Unless she is holding onto a finger of some willing person, she still does not seem too interested. I am definitely not pushing it yet. While she still isnt saying any words yet, she is definitely learning a lot. We often play the "where is Adelyn's/mommy's ..." game, so far she can point out her head, hair, belly button, nose, eyes, teeth, mouth, cheeks and ears. She is always very proud of herself when she gets something right! She is also a big fan of shoes- she knows they go on her feet and she always helps me put mine on or will hand me hers and give me her foot to help her. She then promptly takes them off and does it all over again. She also loves to blow kisses now instead of waving bye-bye. At the grocery store today she put her hand to my mouth and had me blow a kiss to the cashier and then did the same for herself. She also LOVES Sesame Street and Dinosaur Train (a PBS cartoon that comes on just before Sesame St.). If I start singing the theme song to either of those shows, she immediately turns towards the TV to see if they are on.

I promise my next update wont be too far off! Until then.....
