We all hope you had a great Halloween and are getting excited for the holidays! I know we are...my dad has been listening to Christmas music for over a month now. I had a fabulous Halloween. I dressed up like a fairy and wore my costume 3 different times. Once to mom's work for trick or treating, once to school and then on Halloween itself. I wasn't too keen on trick or treating on Halloween. It was about my bedtime and it was dark out and there were tons of scary people out. I sure enjoyed it when I got home and realized what everyone was putting in my bucket! I didn't eat any of it but just played with it for 45 minutes. We also carved pumpkins...I really helped my dad clean the pumpkins out while my mom did the carving. I also liked eating the raw pumpkin...my parents thought it was disgusting but I didn't care...I kept sneaking bites.
Well it's getting closer and closer to my mom's due date...one month from today and I should have my little sister! We're all so excited!
This will probably be my last update until my sister is born. Have a very happy Thanksgiving everyone and my next update should include pictures of my new sister, Harper!
Oh one last thing....I got my first haircut last weekend. I wasn't a huge fan but once I sat in my dad's lap, I was pretty good.
Lots of love, Adelaide

This is what happens when you get your daughter in her Halloween costume at school..her whole class was fascinated.

On Halloween
My how time flies! As you can tell, my parent's life has gotten much busier now that I'm on the move and they're preparing for my new sister. Yup, that's right. I'm going to have a little sister in 2 months. My parents have been getting her room ready for her big arrival! Her name is going to be Harper Allison...Allison after my Grandma. So needless to say, my mom just hasn't had the time to upload any pictures or write anything until now. So things that are new with me...let's see...I had a wonderful summer. We went to the cabin a couple times. We went to Marshall to see Grandpa Tony and Grandma Deb. I started gymnastics a couple weeks ago. I LOVE it. I'm also learning all sorts of words like baby, Harper, cookie, cracker and of course, no puppies, because that's what I hear a lot when my dogs try to steal my food. I also do a lot of singing and dancing at school and love, love, love to do Ring Around the Rosey with my parents before I go to bed. We all get in a circle in my bedroom and sing it over and over again and fall to the ground...it's so fun!
I'll let you go for now. My mom will try to get Halloween pictures up shortly after Halloween. I'm going to be a fairy and this will my first year trick-or-treating and I'm SO excited!
Hugs and kisses to you all!
My mom is so very sorry about not getting an update out sooner. We've all been very busy this spring. I'm almost 16 months old now and I moved up to the toddler room at my school which I am loving. I refuse to walk on my own yet but I hear all my doctors and teachers say that I can walk, I'm just choosing not to and they're absolutely right. I prefer being carried by my mom and dad :) What's new...let's see! Oh...the most important thing...I'm going to be a big sister!!! My mom is due on December 12 and I am just so excited to have somebody besides the darn dogs to play with. My mom says she thinks she's having another girl but we'll find out hopefully at the end of July and then we'll let you all know then. Of course I had my first birthday party in February...well, 2 parties really. Below are some pictures of that. And the big board with my name on it and the pictures, that's the birthday board that my parents put together for my school. I think they went a little overboard (really, my dad went a little overboard but I love him for it :) Then my mom posted a bunch of other pictures too like me with my new backpack and lunch bag for school and we had Grandparent's Day at school a couple weeks ago and my room did the Chicken Dance and Itsy Bitsy Spider. I didn't actually do anything during the show but of course I've been doing the chicken dance non-stop every since!
The most recent pictures are first so you can see what I look like today and then the younger pictures are at the bottom. We just got back from a weekend at the cabin with my parent's friends, John and Laura, and I got to push my very own shopping cart all throughout the stores. I was really good at it and I loved every minute of it!
Enjoy and until next time, have a great summer!!!
My Second Easter!
I LOVE YOU!
I had such an amazing first Christmas. It all started with a Christmas party at my school. My mom dressed me up and I was the only one dressed up (thanks Mom...). Then Christmas Eve we went to my Great Grandma Norma's house and I saw my dad's whole family. I got all sorts of goodies including a Radio Flyer bouncy horse (there's a video of me on it below). Christmas Day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Frattallone's where I got even more presents! Then the weekend after Christmas, we went to Marshall to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's house and I got more presents. Lastly, we had Grandma Ali over in January with Uncle Erik and Aunt Jacci and Claire and Cooper for my fifth and final Christmas celebration...whew! That was a lot. But I'm having so much fun playing with all my new toys.
Let's see...what new things can I do now? Oh I just recently started pulling myself up to stand and I do it ALL the time. Mom and Dad are really starting to find out what pieces are furniture are not good for babies so I imagine I'll see some more sturdy pieces gradually making their way into the house soon. I also have a really high pitched scream that I like to do...not because I'm mad, just because it's fun to see everyone's reaction. I also started drinking out of a sippy. My parents have been giving me a sippy for 4 months but I never drank from it; I just threw it on the ground which was way more fun than drinking from it. Oh and at school for lunch, they have me sit at the big kid's table (it's a small table really) and they put my food on a plate and everything now. Yesterday I thought it would be funny to throw my plate on the floor though so my lunch was cut a bit short :)
Enjoy the pictures! The next update will probably be after my first birthday party next month...one year old all ready...can you believe it? Neither can my mom and dad :)
This is me at school

My parents thought it would be funny to tie a napkin around my head...not sure what they were thinking...

And this is her dad
This is the group that made homemade bread...it was tasty...I was sleeping during all this.
And now these are some pictures from before and after Christmas...
