Words

It is so fun to hear Ada learning new words. She can say anything, it just isn't necessarily understandable. She is quickly figuring it out though. I had to capture some of her words on camera before she makes too much sense :)

She has such a great imagination. I love to listen to her on the monitor in the morning. Her stories usually have something to do with her being the mommy and she is telling her babies "no". Should I be worried??? She has recently discovered her love for barbies (I could not be more proud :)) so let the make-believe begin!

Great-Grandma Iyaya


Ada's Great-Grandma Ida passed away last night. She had not been doing well the last couple of days, but this still seems very sudden and unreal. Ada and I were fortunate enough to take a trip to Arizona in February with Matt's mom to go visit her. It was Ada and Ida's first introduction and they hit it off like old pals :) Ida is an amazing, loving person, and I know that is why Ada felt so comfortable with her. We feel so blessed that God gave us that trip and the opportunity to create those memories. We miss you so much Grandma Iyaya, but you have a fun time catching up with Grandpa Don! We will see you soon! We love you!

Fort Day


A couple weekends ago, we were just having one of those days. Everything to do with the house needed to be cleaned, so... we made a fort! It was a great alternative for everyone. You can't see it in the photos, but it had a tunnel leading out from one of the chairs.



Ada and Sandy

I think maybe she likes the fact that it is so worn out, she can see right through it. Any way, she likes to wear it on her head a lot :)

Crazy Fun




Lately, there has been a little too much shoving and pulling going on between Ada and Kellen, so when I get afternoons like this, I have to document it!
