We got home from UT at the beginning of January. I think I was just exhausted from the last couple of months and also with being pregnant that I just wanted to stay at home for the month of January and February and that is what we did. It was nice not to be traveling somewhere.
Adelaide was a very easy sweet baby but now she is starting to be quite the sassy/feisty little toddler. She will take away Jack's toy on purpose or hit him and Jack will say "it is okay she is just a baby she did not mean too...." but I know the truth! Jack is a very sweet brother who rarely gets mad at Adelaide for stealing his toy, hitting him or pushing him off my lap. Adelaide's redeeming qualities are that she can light up a room with her smile and belly giggle, she continues to be the world's best sleeper (goes to bed around 6pm and wakes up between 7-8 of course she has her off nights), and she is not a picky eater (she will eat anything you give her). Adelaide is starting to get needy in the sense that she wants to be held consonantly (new for her) and I give in because pretty soon she will not be the baby anymore and I start to feel a little guilty. Adelaide loves Jack and no one can make her laugh like Jack can. Here she is laughing at Jack. Love her!
Adelaide loves food. If she sees someone with food she will go over and beg for it. At church she is always trying to find someone that will feel sorry for her and give in.....
Adelaide determining whether she is a fan of grass. Luckily no sensory issues.
Love making this girl laugh.
Can't get enough of her compact body (80% height, 80% weight, 90% head (takes after Shawn with the head:))
Dallas did get a bit of snow. It came and went fast but it was fun to have a little bit of a white winter.
Playtime. We love to play upstairs in the the playroom. The kids can play up there forever.
Jack is making forts on a daily basis. Sometimes I get sick of it but I love his little imagination and know that someday I will miss it.
Jack still loves his super heroes going on 2 years. He puts together all sorts of outfits. This kid can play for hours by himself but of course he loves it more when he has a friend to pretend with.
Shawn spent his Christmas money on The Big Green Egg. He has been in heaven smoking and grilling. Every Saturday he makes homemade pizza and the rest of the weekend he is smoking/grilling steak, chicken or fish. He spends hours during the weekend researching and looking up recipes. It has been nice not to have to cook as much and he has some serious skills. Iron man helped him set it up.
My sister came to visit for a week. She got to go to Jack's swim lesson. He takes weekly swim lessons and is becoming quite the little swimmer.
One night we went to turn off Jack's light and found him asleep like this, can't imagine it is too comfortable.
Pretty much since Shawn started working for AA his schedule has been crazy. If he is home before 8-8:30pm that is an early night. He works A LOT but luckily he loves what he does and has made some wonderful friendships. Sometimes his team are able to have a little fun as well. He has been blessed to work with not only very smart and talented co-workers but they are also very nice and supportive.
We love the urban air trampoline place. We try to go on occasion to burn off some energy.
She loves to eat.
Every Thursday night Jack has swim lessons. During his swim lessons I swim with Adelaide. She loves it and then I swim with both of the kids after Jack's class until the swim team arrives. It is a fun Thursday night activity for us.
We love legoland. I take the kids to legoland every month when the cleaners come. It is a nice activity for us to do for a couple of hours. Jack also found a batman raincoat at the mall and had to have it. He wears it to school often and will not take it off. He has slept in it a couple of times. I can't blame him, it is pretty cool.
Still love this machine to make babyfood. I will admit that I have not been as good at making Adelaide's food as I was with Jack. Life just get busier with 2.
The plus side of Dallas is that we can play outside in January. Here is Jack with his best friend Gavin saving the neighborhood.
