mental notes...

(pre valentines day pics)

so adyson learns things VERY fast. here is a list of some of the things she does. (for my sake, i'm pretty sure i wont remember this in 10 years, i have a horrible memory!!!)

-adyson love to help me sweep. we acquired a new broom from the subletters we had last year, and it was actually broken, so we made it a little bit shorter and made it "adyson" size. whenever i sweep she has to get her broom too and help. i remember seeing a picture of me when i was her age doing the exact same thing, so i'm pretty sure she gets it from me. wish i had the pic with me

-adyson knows how to use the remote to the tv, and also the buttons on the tv. she can turn it on, turn it up, and change the channel. she doesnt really know what shes changing it to, she just does it. its really funny/annoying because she will shut the tv off when we are playing wii and she will turn around and laugh. she also knows how to use the wii remotes.

-adyson is my own personal maid. when its time to change her, she will go get a diaper, sometimes get me the wipes, and then after spencer or i are done, she will take the diaper to the trash. sometimes she takes stuff thats not trash, like a picture frame that i noticed was missing one day.... found it under some trash in the garbage.

- adyson talks all the time. she says.....yes or "yeah", no, mom, dad, grandma/pa, auntie, uncle, amber, hi, bye, and many more words. the newest word is Jesus! and she also makes many animal sounds, her favorites are a lion and a dog.

- our little girl gives hugs (some what bear hugs), kisses, blows kisses, waves, tickles, writes with a pen (kinda), opens a water bottle, reads books (she loves books), dances ("shake it"), trys to jump, wipes her hands and face, shows us how old she is, points to her nose and such, points to her family in pictures, know where the picture of jesus is in her room, folds her arms and says amen during prayer...

adyson is such a fast learner! we are currently working on her ABC's and some first word flash cards. we love her so much and i hope that when she askes me about when she was little, that i'll remember that i wrote this for that very purpose! hope you liked hearing this too!

catch up post!

so here i am, trying to update on all the things that have happened lately. kinda long, but hope you like it!

so this isn't the greatest video, but i did say i was going to post one of adyson walking. she kinda gets a little mad at the end, because she always wants to get of the sidewalk so she can get in the car. anyway, it was kind of her first time playing in the snow, so i had to get pics. last year she was too young, so i was very excited to get her in the snow, plus we have been cooped up in the apt all the time, because its too cold most days.

well not a whole lot has been going on here in rexburg. yesterday adyson went to her very first dentist visit!(i forgot to get pictures!! we're going to take some with her and her toothbrush later) she was doing really well in the beginning, she even walked up to the hygienist and let her pick her up! big step for adyson....but after the dentist came in to look at her teeth it was all over with. she cried her eyes out! but after she got her toy she was fine the rest of the day. i wish i could say the same thing for the toy.

story # 1

you see, adyson's favorite things/toys are the toilet, plunger and scrubber, well pretty much the bathroom. nasty i know, we have to remember to shut the door all the time or we'll hear her splashing in the toilet. anyway, we forgot to shut the door after we got home from the deentist and after a little while i couldnt hear adyson. then it got really quiet and all we could hear is splashing. yep... you guessed it, she was playing with her toy in the toilet. needless to say i got something to fish it out and to the trash it went. funny thing is, is thats not the only bathroom story i have.

story # 2

so adyson woke up really early one morning (very rare) and so i just took her out of her crib and let her play with some toys in our bedroom. i dosed off a little bit, knowing that she was fine. the next thing i know is that i am getting woken up with a plunger to the face. NASTY!!! we forgot to shut the door again! i dont know what i am going to do with her!

well heres some pics to end the blog. hope you like it!

her hair is long enough for pig tails!! cute huh. its a back of the head shot cuz you cant see them from the front. lol

so we've been trying to get her to go to bed on her own...its actually been going a lot better since we started, but some times, she stands up in the crib crying for us. usually she gets way tired and lays down, but this time, she fell asleep standing up and this is what i found when i went to check on her after a while of it being silent. oh i love my little girl. never a dull moment!

mario cart driver!

so i've been trying to find something to post on here so i can stop the music that plays on one of my other posts, so i found this. we got a wii from spencers brother and our favorite game (pretty much our only game) is mario cart. adyson has been watching us play some times and she has picked up on how to drive.when she wants to play she will bring the wheels to us. so cute! so heres a cute video of spencer and adyson playing. i wanted to post one of her walking, but eh, the ones i have are pretty dark, i need to get more with some better lighting. anyway enjoy!
