Adah videos!

Here are a few videos of our little Adah Potatah that we have taken over the past week! The first one is her newest trick...its too cute and now she will just do it and look up and find Josh or I to see if we are looking and smile so big with pride! She is too much! I just want to eat her up! The second video is just Adah being Adah! It is a video of her doing what she does ALL DAY...or at least would if I would let her! Did I mention that I love her to death!?! She has got to be the cutest little girl in the WORLD!

Enjoy!

9 month bear pic...not so easy this time!

We didn't really get a good shot this time....Adah DID NOT want to stay put! So instead of just one photo i'm going to post a series of photos that we took in a matter of 1 min!

The first two are from before the picture taking began.....

Adah use to LOVE her changing table....until the past few weeks and now she HATES it! We use to put her there cause it was the only place that would make her stop crying....now it is the only place that makes her scream crying! Crazy girl! Here she is trying to get into EVERYTHING!

Standing up with the help of ma-ma's leg!

And the photo shoot begins.........

She still isn't crawling but getting REALLY close!

9 months check up!

This morning was Adah's 9 month well baby check up and her last visit to the Dr. here in Monterey...that is unless she gets sick....which we hope does not happen! She did so good! She did not have to get any shots today but did have to get her little finger pricked to check her iron levels. She was such a little trooper! She didn't even make a sound or even act scared! I think she was most excited about getting a neon pink bandaid on her finger when it was over....she sucked that thing right off!

The doctor said that she looks absolutely perfect. She is just average on height, weight and head size! Her iron level was slightly low so they gave us a list of iron rich foods (most of which she LOVES and eats all the time already) and they are keeping her on her vitamin enriched with iron!

Some things Adah is up to lately:

-wearing size 3 diapers

-size 9mth or 6-12 clothes

-clapping

-pulling up (usually only to reach a book or paper)

-getting in position to crawl and rocking

-TALKING constantly

-HATES her changing table

-gets PISSED when you take anything away from her

-LOVES to feed herself (broccoli, chicken, string cheese, pasta w/ meat sauce, toast and cream cheese...those are just a few favorites)

-likes to drink like a big girl....won't do a sippy

-LOVES people and hamming it up to anyone who will look at her

-weighs 19.12 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long

-sleeping 10 hours straight before waking at 5am for a feeding then back down til 7 or 8!

-napping 2x's a day (only for 30min in her crib but 1.5-2 hrs in the car!)

-learning to wave bye-bye (will do it sometimes)

Right after her finger prick! Such a good little girl!

Yummy bandaid!

I hate thinking of blog titles...

This past weekend Uncle Bubba and Aunt Ki-Ki (my little brother and his girlfriend)came and visited! They were our last visitors before we leave CA and move back to CT! Adah LOVES all the extra attention when we have visitors especially Uncle Bubba cause he acts like such a goof and talks to her in her own language....he will do anything anywhere to make her laugh and boy does she LAUGH at her Uncle Bubba!

We have been able to really enjoy the Monterey area the past couple of weeks because the weather has been unbelievable! It has been sunny and warm and we have had both my sister and her boyfriend and my little brother and his girlfriend visit so we have been taking them around and showing them places. We are glad to have been able to do and see so much this past week because it will probably be the last time we do and/or see those places before we leave!

Here are a few pics from this past weekend! We enjoyed a beautiful drive down Hwy 1 into Big Sur and some fun days/evenings along the water.

Adah and da-da playing by the rocks and water! Da-da is SO fun!

My little thinker and observer! She sure is studying the waves and rocks!

The most precious little girl I have ever seen in my life!

View along the Hwy 1 coast...love the fog rolling in!

Otters playing in the water!
