These monthly pictures are extremely hard to take now!!
Adelaide is still getting 95% breast milk. She is offered solids at lunch and dinner but it's up to her whether or not she eats them. Some days she devours it and other days throws it all off the high chair. She doesn't seem to really dislike anything except broccoli. She never eats it no matter how it's prepared.

She is so vocal and is always making new silly sounds! Alex teaches her new stuff all the time and she catches on so fast. She gives 5 now and loves to give kisses (mainly just to Mommy though). Sometimes she stops nursing just to give me kisses and then goes back to eating. She melts my heart. She is trying to wave although mostly she just sticks her hand up with no motion yet. Alex is also trying to teach her to clap. She hasn't yet clapped her hands but will take his hands and clap them together. Haha! She is still all over the place and is super fast. You can't blink or you will miss her leave the room. She loves finding and playing with cords which includes sucking on the metal end. I have no idea why she does this but it's a constant struggle with my stubborn girl. She stands by herself pretty well and loves to climb! She is a monkey just like her Daddy. Everything still goes straight to the mouth. She chews anything she can get her hands on! She also likes to play peek-a-boo with the curtains in the living room. She crawls over to them and covers her face until we say "where's Adelaide..." and then she shows herself with a huge smile on her face. She's a hoot.
Adelaide is an extremely curious child and loves exploring. We vary rarely confine her to a single space so she roams around exploring and learning all at the same time. She loves going into the kitchen and sliding whatever she can get her hands on all over the floor. She gets a kick out of it and it's so funny to watch. She is such a goofy kid. We adore watching her silly personality blossom.
She still has sleeping through the night issues. We have tried just about everything but I guess she simply needs to wake up and know we are there throughout the night. Some nights she does ok and others are simply horrible and we end up holding her in our bed the rest of the night. It's not ideal but when you have a kid who doesn't sleep well you do whatever you have to do to get some rest yourself so you can take care of her. She still loves holding her blanket while sleeping on her side but generally rolls to her stomach for most of the night now.

| Napping...I love taking pictures of her sleeping. :) |

| She loves snuggling at night with her Daddy |
 |
| This is how it normally ends up after snuggles...Daddy asleep and Adelaide in some weird position snoozing away! |
We decided to go ahead and get her a new car seat because of a really awesome deal going on at Babies R Us. She loves the new seat. I think she is more comfy in it.

| Like my new big girl car seat?!?! |
She also has 4 top teeth coming in all at once right now and she is a trooper. They rarely seem to bother her and I sincerely believe that her amber necklace is doing it's job.
Adelaide is such a fun baby with a spunky spirit! I love being able to stay at home with her.
Until next time...
