A year ago, two weeks late and sick with a bad upper respiratory virus, I was induced - and sweet little Adelle made her appearance. What a joy and delight she is to me. Always the bright smiles - ready to clap her hands and dance with me even when there's no music and I'm just singing "Dance...put the record on..do do do dooo (cuz who actually knows that part of the song) just dance..." Happy Birthday my darling girl who is no longer my sweet cuddly baby!
Adelle turns one next Saturday! Where did the time go? I know everyone asks that. I swear she's still my little tiny baby though. It still shocks me to see her show up where I don't expect her or say something that I understand. She learned how to climb stairs this last week. Also learned how to go down them! Although she still scares me a little! I'll be in my bathroom getting ready for the day, the kids downstairs watching tv and I'll hear the pad pad of little hands and knees coming into the room and it won't be Hunter! While Hunter was my cautious one - Adelle is my dare devil - at least comparatively speaking! She's not walking yet but it won't be long - she loves to grab one of your hands and wants to RUN! She is incredibly busy.
She also has a smattering of words she loves to say...
Baby
Banana
Daddy
momma

Hi
The last three she likes to do while waving. She loves the song "Joy Joy" complete with actions and I'm told she will try to sing along although I don't hear her sing as much as Hunter. One of those developments I'm missing out on with going back to work I guess.
Above all though - she loves to DANCE. Any music will set her hips wiggling and shoulders shaking! It is a riot to watch!
Anyway - my little girl - my joy! I love her so much and I pray that she will be a woman who loves God with her whole heart. Happy Birthday Adelle (next week!)
