Adara Updates


Adara had her 15 month checkup yesterday.  Right around the 50th percentile for height (2'6") & weight (almost 22 lbs).  The highlight as always for both girls was the wooden rocking horse in the waiting room.  I think Adara has turned a corner lately (maybe because her molars are mostly through or because she's able to do more things physically?), but she's been a lot less cranky.  She continues to adore her big sister and want to do whatever Emily is doing.  Emily has taken a lot of interest in playing with Adara lately, they love to run around the house in the evenings, climbing on & off the furniture and laughing hysterically.  Adara still sleeps with her bunny, and also takes special interest in her baby dolls.  Still very attached to mommy, but doing much better being left in the nursery or at a friend's house.  She loves other babies, most especially 'baby Emily' - my good friend Jill's daughter who is just her age.  She's a great sleeper, diving for her crib when it's time to be put down.  We're starting to cut back the morning nap a little and she's been sleeping in later (7 or so) in the morning (hallelujah).  She's currently in 12 or 18 month clothes.  Not as good of an eater as she used to be... she has very strong opinions and would happy eat only yogurt and animal crackers.  Pretty steady on her feet, loves to run and climb.  She "talks" constantly, and has about 10-20 recognizable words: Mama, Dada, Emily, Adara, wa (water or walk), mo (more), nana (banana, food), bu (bunny), uh oh, no, ya, you (thank you), nigh-nigh, bye-bye, buhbuh (baby), Mimi, Papa, eye.

She loves the bathtub, and climbed on her own when I stepped out of the room to get her towel last night. :)  At big sister's insistance, we tried Adara's first ponytail today!
