Happy Father's Day!



Happy Father's Day to our special Daddy! Today we made him his usual breakfast, but instead we made it ourselves and served it to him in bed! I really wanted to have my breakfast in my own bed but Mommy said it was Daddy's special day to day and I could eat it in their bed next to Daddy. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and it's finally happened!

Daddy you're going on five years as a father and you're doing a super job!

Tubing on the Slide

Today we went to play at the park. One little structure happens to have two parallel slides with a steering wheel directly in front. Having just been at the lake Zachary got the idea to go tubing. First he said he would drive so he took his spot behind the wheel. I sat at the bottom of the slide facing up. Adelyn practiced her sliding on her tummy feet first as all of this went on. After I rode the "tube" and pretended to get tossed off we switched and I drove the "boat" while the kids did their tubing.

News Signs and Verbal Words


Yesterday Adelyn had her 15 month birthday. Already! So much has happened in a month.

  • The past 2-3 weeks she's been attempting to say "flower" and I think "fan" by saying "fa".
  • Monday June 13 she said moo when my mom read her Is Your Mama a Llama?
  • Monday June 13 she said roof roof when she saw Sandy or another dog or a picture of a dog. It sounds more like "oof oof".
  • She signed please this week for the first time on her own. Still a little inconsistent but at least it's happening now!
  • She signed book for the first time this week and consistently today on June 17! She's been selecting her preferred books for us to read her at night since before she turned a year. I really don't think Zachary picked his own at that time. He always seemed to like whatever we chose. She definitely likes to pick herself. Her favorites are Blue Hat Green Hat, The Wheels on the Bus, Is Your Mama a Llama and Brown Bear, Brown Bear.

Just talking to my brother.


Signing Finished!
