11 Months Old!

     I'm a little late getting these pictures posted.  Things have been a little bit crazy this week, being at my parents house and with me working.  Here are some of the pictures I got of Adilynne, she was having a grouchy day so I didn't get as many good/cute ones as I would have liked. 

 She still has a big toothless smile!

She did not want to leave the bow in her hair.  She usually doesn't even mess with it or know its there.

 Distracted by the button on her clothes.

 Doing anything but looking at the camera.

 Her hair is getting curly in the back!  I love it!

 She loves to stand and explore.

 She loves these kind of balls.  Grandma Evans had one at her house when we stayed over Memorial Weekend and that is all she played with all weekend!  We bought one when we got home and she still loves it.  I think that playing with it really helped her figure out how to stand and balance.

 Standing all by herself!

 She thinks it is so funny to be like this lately.

 

 She's not so sure about the grass but she will go across it to get the ball.

 She loves to point at everything!

 

 

 Resting

 This past month Adilynne...

• Learned how to wave.  She waved at Grandpa Olsen on June 19.
• She loves to eat cheese! 
• She weighs 19 pounds and is 28 inches tall.
• She has the funniest laugh!  She is starting to find humor in things and sometimes out of the blue she will start laughing. 
• She can stand up all by herself but isn't too interested in walking if you hold her hands from behind to help her.  She just drops and crawls. 

Seattle

     My parent's were on vacation this past week and they came up to Washington to see us.  It was so much fun to have them for a few days and to go sight-seeing. 

On Thursday afternoon David was able to leave work early so we picked him up and then went to Seattle.  We went on a "Duck" tour to see the sites of Seattle.  It was a lot of fun and Adilynne loved it.

The Duck tour drove us around the streets of Seattle and then went to Lake Union and turned into a boat!  I didn't know they did that and it was way neat.  We saw the house where Tom Hanks lived in during the movie 'Sleepless in Seattle' and our tour guide told us that in 1993 or 1994 a couple bought the house for $650,000 and everyone was telling them that was outrageous and a waste of money.  They just sold the house a few years ago for $2.5 million dollars!  What an investment! 

 The Space Needle from Lake Union

Sea planes land and take off on Lake Union and we got lucky enough to be there when one landed and another one took off.

The Space Needle.  We got lucky and had a day of blue sky.  It was beautiful!

Fountains at the Seattle Center

Here are some more pictures of Adilynne...



 She loves to play outside.

 

 

Gotta soak up the sun while you can in Washington!

 She looks like a baby model to me in this picture.  Let's call up Gerber or Carter's and make us rich! :)

More outside fun!

 Playing with Sammy.

Double Digits!

Adilynne turned 10 months old today!  She has learned and grown so much since she was born.  She is getting more and more mobile and loves to get into things and make a mess. 

Love that face!

Big Smile!

She loves to stand

Raspberry lips!

She loves to stand in the chair and look outside.  She gets excited when a car goes by.

When she gets excited about something she flaps her arms up and down.  I call her a bird when she does that.

Stuck in the corner.

Big toothless smile!  I still don't feel any teeth getting close.  Maybe she will be able to eat regular food in 2 months.

Playing peek-a-boo

She loves to stand at the French Doors and look outside.

I decided to go outside and get some pictures of what she does when she looks out.  I was laughing so hard.

No wonder the glass in the doors are so dirty...The dog's wet noses on the outside and Adilynne's tongue on the inside.  :)

Hey!

This was a few nights ago.  She loves to play in this drawer and pull out all the dish towels and rags.  I turned around and she was inside it!

She loves to play peek-a-boo under a blanket.

She loves to have me crawl and chase after her while she tries to get away. 

She crawled all the way to the top of the stairs Sunday night.  With me following behind her of course!  I think we better start using the gate!

She is starting to hold on to things and take steps.

She is starting to let go of whatever she is standing against for balance.  She doesn’t stay up for too long by herself but she’s working on it.

Her new facial expression is to scrunch her nose up.  She likes to do that to people at church and make them laugh.

She figured out how to blow raspberries a few weeks ago.  That is also a favorite thing to do. 

When I am feeding her baby food she loves to fake cough or blow raspberries, especially right after I put a spoonful into her mouth.  We end up with a pretty messy table after she is done eating. 

She weighs about 19 pounds and is 28 inches tall.

 WE LEAVE FOR UTAH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AGAIN!
