Yes, it appears that her nicknames list is bigger than she is.  That's what happens when you've got an older sister.  :)

Facts:
*Aside from a 2-week lapse of waking up every 20 minutes during the night, Adele sleeps 8-10 hours at night before eating and going back to sleep.
*Adele is a very happy baby who smiles and everyone and everything.
*Adele LOVES the guitar.  She's Ammon's very best audience in the house by FAR!  She smiles, squeals, and stares at him at all the proper moments.
*Although we've heard Adele say a few consonants, she mostly squeals to make noise.  She's quite the loud squawker!
*Adele STILL does not take a bottle!!  NOT KIDDING!  The only time she's done it is for 2 oz of pedialite when the three girls all had the tummy flu at the same time.  SUPER fun!
*Adele does not take a pacifier, her thumb, or anything else that can help her self-soothe.  Instead, she uses me as a pacifier.  Awesome.
*Deli finally likes some solids, which helps babysitters since she doesn't take bottles.  She only likes fruit.  She'll take some oatmeal, and attempts at sweet potatoes.  And...that's about it.  It explains her weight, huh? Couldn't be more opposite than Emma!!
*Speaking of Emma, they are SUCH great friends...it's adorable!  I love it!
*Adele has no muscle whatsoever.  She rolls both ways, but is definitely a Weeble when it comes to sitting up.  We're hoping she walks by kindergarten.  :)
