Adele's Top 10 Update:
1) She's itty bitty still. 10th percentile for weight (don't worry...doctors say she's growing/developing perfectly), 50th percentile for height, and 50th percentile for head size. According to her doctor, "she's going to be a string bean like her mom". Gotta love genes.
2) She's absolutely content doing anything and everything...as long as she's near her mom. Adele is a total mommy's girl. She will freak out if anyone tries holding her unless she can see me. She's happy playing with toys by herself or with Emma, she's happy during tummy time, she's happy in the Bumbo, she's happy in her car seat, she's just one happy girl! The only downside is that she really doesn't try to roll over at all because she's perfectly content on her tummy or back. The only time she cries is if she's hungry, wet, or poopy.
3) She sometimes take a binkie...woohoo! It gives me a break if we are in the car and she suddenly decides that she is hungry.
4) She will not take a bottle. Will not. We've tried the whole leave-the-room (or house)-and-have-someone-else-give-it-to-her thing. We've tried breast milk and formula. She will starve until I finally decide that it's not worth the suffering for either of us. :)
5) She hates rice cereal. Our first experience was beyond frustrating. She not only gagged and spit up most of it, but what little she did eat, she spent throwing up all night long until she dry-heaved. Probably not going to try that again until 6 months!
6) She absolutely adores Emma. Adele will squirm when she hears Emma's voice, and arch around to see where she is. She totally lights up...it's so stinky cute! :)
7) Adele giggles the most girly giggle ever. The only problem is that she will only giggle for me, and sometimes Emma. See post below.
8) She is quite the talker! Adele jabbers all day long...unless you are trying to video it, naturally. :)
9) Adele is still our swaddle queen! It sounds ridiculous, but whenever she is overly tired, the only way she will sleep is by being swaddled. It is so adorable!
10) Adele constantly has her tongue out. This is how she earned her nickname "Turtle Tongue". Other nicknames include: button nose, sister friend, delly bells, and peanut.
"Ohhh"
I'm cute and I know it.

Bumbo Time!
Happy Easter!
Emma loves her Madi Mads!
