Pooh and more Pooh

As I have mentioned previously, Adelynn LOVES Pooh--absolutely loves him. If she is asking for something (other than an apple), it typically has something to do with Pooh. Here is a little look at how many of our conversations go throughout the day:
When she wants to read one of her four Pooh books:
"Pooh ook? Pooh ook pease? Ook?"
When she wants to hold her stuffed animal:
" Pooh, Pooh pease? POOH!"
When she wants to watch her Pooh DVD, which we currently can't find:
" Pooh on? Pooh on pease? No Pooh off."
The latest is that Pooh sometimes eats dinner with us. Last night, when Adelynn was done eating dinner, she got back in her chair, with Pooh this time, and she fed him green beans. So cute. Pooh also got Cheerios on the way to church on Sunday.


Adelynn walked into the bathroom this morning with shoes on and holding Pooh. She was very excited to wear Mommy's shoes. She is also wearing her special pjs that we got because of Daddy's work. They are little scrub/doctor pjs. Another new thing that Adelynn does is say "Daddy hearts" (or, "Daddy hauwts") when I tell her Mike is at work.

Blurry again, but I asked Adelynn to show me Pooh so I could take a picture. This is what I got. She was so excited.

Adelynn plopped herself down on the kitchen floor Sunday morning to read what else but one of her Pooh books. It was so cute, and she looked like such a big girl. She also is wearing a dress that had Pooh and Piglet on it :). She loves reading and is starting to "read" books to us now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Adelynn made this nice Thanksgiving vest at Mrs. Paula's house today. It's a little blurry, but these days, we'll take a nice smile picture with her looking at the camera. She made a special point to stop and say cheese for this one because her favorite stuffed animal Pooh was "taking the picture" with Mommy's phone. I think I'm on to something...

Never gets old

I was cruising on Facebook for a bit tonight. I took a long break from FB but then I realized that a lot people post pretty big information on there that I should probably know--babies, new jobs, etc, so I have been going on every so often to catch up on things. Well, on there, I saw Mike's profile picture, and it just makes me so happy, so I thought I would post this here.

I just can't get enough of the Daddy and Adelynn pictures. We have hundreds of these type of pictures--literally. I can't believe how big Adelynn looks in this picture. She is getting so big. We can't believe it.


I absolutely LOVE this picture. How blessed am I to have these two in my life?

This seriously seems like it was just yesterday--still how she sleeps, though. Butt in the air, arms tucked underneath her. Boy, where does the time go?

Go Tigers!

Adelynn is decked out in her Tigers stuff.

Prom

Adelynn was able to grab a picture with her beautiful Aunt Dena before she headed off to prom. Check out the dress--Dena designed it :).

I just posted some pictures, but they are terribly out of order. It's pretty easy to figure out when they took place.

On a side note, we have been hearing a lot of "Pooh...Pooh...Pooh." Who would have known that the Pooh books I bought at Kohls would have been such a huge success :).

Beach babe

Adelynn loved the beach in Clearwater.

Homosassa Springs

On Spring Break, we visited one of Mike's favorite childhood spots, Homosassa Springs. He used to come here when he visited Grandpa and Grandma Brown, who lived just down the road.

Birthday Cake

1st birthday party

OK, now I am embarrassed. Here are some pictures from Adelynn's first party.

Catching up

Here is a picture from back in March. We were headed to a water polo game. She has a lot more teeth and quite a bit more hair now.

Life's little memories

It seems that every day Adelynn packs it full of new memories for us. Tonight was no different. There are those days that you just know you are going to remember and our hearts are just filled with love and happiness. I know this is sounding cheesy, but that is truly how we feel.

Adelynn loves to dance and twirl (in large part thanks to music time at Miss Paula's house). So, we turned on our radio in the kitchen and I tried to find some good dance music for her. Our usual station, 99.3, was on a commercial break, so I went one station past to 100.5. As the station came in, Christmas music flooded through the kitchen. How I could have forgotten that Christmas music starts on November 1, I don't know--I have been thinking about this all of October. BUT, Adelynn LOVED it. She is her mommy's Christmas-loving girl, I guess. So, we spent the next twenty minutes--the three of us--dancing to Christmas music in the kitchen. Adelynn stood on Mike's feet and danced, and then she grabbed on to our hands and twirled, and then she stood on my feet and we danced, and then we twirled, and then she went under our legs and would dance some more. I just tried to take one mental picture after another.

After our mini dance marathon, Adelynn took a bath. Again, we had more of those great memories. Adelynn loves the water and loves baths. She had so much fun splashing and floating and kicking and all that fun stuff you can do in water. It was just so fun to see.
