Early Halloween at the Library

We had a special story time the Wednesday before Halloween. We got to dress up in our costumes for story time. I was a stegasaurus dinosaur. It was the same costume that Mommy, Paran, and two of our cousins wore. Adelyn was a ladybug and Mommy let me pick her costume at the store. I got to see my friend Aurelia at the library. She was Ariel the mermaid. I was glad we got to celebrate halloween together before my trip to Louisiana.

Tubing at the Lake

A couple of weeks ago we went to the lake to see Daddy's family and have some fun. It was hard to swim in the water because there was all of these hydrillas growing. There were a lot this summer but now it's even worse. Mommy and Daddy took me paddle boating but a few times we had to peddle backwards to get some of thoses silly hydrillas off.

Best of all though, we could take the boat out and I got to go tubing. I went all by myself for the first time. Life at the lake is great!

Adelyn's New Developments

I am 7 and 1/2 months and I can drink from a sippy cup now!!!! I know Mommy is really excited about that. I've been playing around with them since I was about 6 months. I finally figured it out on the car ride home from Louisiana. I bet Mommy is going to try to go back to her ASL classes now that Daddy can maybe put me to bed with a sippy cup. It might just be fun to give her a hard time anyway :)

I am also very close to crawling. I've been trying to scoot and wiggle myself along using my head, arms, and tummy but I can't seem to go anywhere. They've been telling me something about my legs but I haven't figured out what they want me to do yet.

One of my favorite activities to do is look at a baby in the mirror. It looks like it has a mommy who holding her just like mine!! I love to play with her. It's really fun.
