A few more with Santa from Daddy the photographer

Thanks Daddy.  You took some good pictures.

Love, 

Adeline & Mommy

Adeline & Santa

(no smiles... but, no crying either!)

Grandmommy Sherry, thank you for the swing!

Sherry was nice enough to let us borrow a swing for Adeline.  She LOVES it... as you can see.  I put her moosie, which she also loves, on the tray for her to look at and attempt to play with.  Well, I guess she accidentally got him and was all cuddled up with him for her nap.  We couldn't get a good picture but there is a mobile above the swing and when she finally "finds" it, Adeline makes the sweetest face.  Thanks so much Grandmommy Sherry for the swing!  I love love love it.  Mommy really thanks you too!!!!!

Naptime

Looking sweet as pie...

Oh, there is the bear mobile...

OOPS! A few more catch up pictures....

From Erin's birthday weekend.... A long time ago in November.  This was the first time Amy and Erin had met the little bambino.

And one more thing...

Adeline wanted me to remind you all... no judging of her double chin in the picture :).  She is loving formula and aware of the minor issue.  She is hoping the bow would distract you! 

Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus...

Finally!  We are caught up to the pictures.  YIPEE!!!!

Today after church and brunch, we went to the mall to have Adeline's picture made with Santa.  She had on her pjs from Grammy this morning for church because she was still sleeping when we left the house.  After a big "accident" at brunch (yes I did change Adeline in a non child friendly bathroom), I put on what she was supposed to wear to church.  Her very pretty smocked Santa dress from Grammy.  So after a trip home to get camera and the most important accessory - bow, we were off for the Santa photo op.  Well, we couldn't get a grin, but she was sitting up with her eyes open (and looking in the correct general direction).  Whew!

We have been talking tonight about what she asked Santa for.  So far she has told me....

1. Some more hair

2. Baby pink UGGs

3. Baby trip to spa - mani/pedi (no polish, buff only) and 30 minute massage

4. Earrings - which I don't understand bc her ears are not pierced - so guess she wants that :)

I think that was all we talked about tonight.  I'll let you know if she tells me anything else.  I'm pretty sure minus the first two (which she already has), my cousin Elliana would go for # 3 and # 4!

Merry Christmas 2008

Love, 

Adeline

Decorating the Christmas Tree - December 10, 2008

I took a few pictures with my phone of Adeline in the grown ups Santa hat.  I put it on her while we worked on the Christmas tree.  We were decorating together with the Christmas music on.  I was singing and she was telling me where the holes were.  She was a great helper and we had the best time!  Sorry you had to work Daddy.... We missed you!!!!

Christmas outfit from Mimi

So Mimi and Aunt Suzanne went shopping and found this very funny Christmas outfit.  They thought it was cute as can be.  They also found this itty bitty bow for itty bitty old me!  So Mommy dressed me all up and made me take what seemed like a hundred pictures.  Here are just a few...

Finally got a big grin!

In between rounds - pacy required....

An almost grin...

What a sweet little girl...

I finally figured out how to get this hand in my mouth.

What pacy?

November 29, 2008 - Saturday morning with Uncle Billy

I loved my Saturday morning with Uncle Billy.  I think we were both still tired.  He held me and put me right back to sleep.  Thanks Uncle Billy.  I love you!

Love, Adeline

PS - Thanks to Uncle B and William for my outfit.  I forgot to wear it while you were here for Thanksgiving.  Sorry.  I hope you like it as much as I do!  Thank you so much.  I love you both!

Sweet Adeline

The cousins actually knowing that they are meeting each other...

Elliana was so amazed by Adeline.  She reached for her face with one hand and poked her in the eye with the other hand.  This next picture is Amy making sure that Elliana can't get too close to the eye again.... :)

All the Clark girls

November 28, 2008 - Happy Thanksgiving!
