I (my mom and sister-in-law, Jen) finally got Adele to take a bottle at 10.5 months when I had to be gone for 24 hours. On her 1st birthday, she started taking a binky (see below). She crawled at around 7 months and still isn't walking in her own. She'll cruise around walls and furniture, but sits or lunges forward when you try to get her to walk. However, she has managed to master a somersault. Go figure.
Adele isn't a great eater. She loves applesauce and chocolate. But not in that order. If she doesn't like what you offer her, she will either hit the spoon (or your hand) or pick it up and throw it on the floor. If you are lucky and it ends up in her mouth, she'll spit it out and throw it on the floor. She's not super picky, but good luck trying to guess what she's in the mood for.
Adele hates carseats with a passion. She will scream until she gets out, falls asleep, or you give her chocolate.
Adele is my cuggler. She LOVES being held, and will nuzzle you. She loves kisses and hugs. She'll blow kisses and wave at complete strangers. Such a flirt.
Adele loves climbing on EVERYTHING! How can she not walk yet? Daddy loves it, but Mommy gets annoyed of finding Adele in the dishwasher, in cabinets, on top of Emma's two-story bed, and dangling head first off the arm of the couch.
Adele says: Mama, Dada, Baba (or Baaa when talking about sheep), Hoo (for an owl), Dudu, and she also loves babbling all sorts of various "words". She's much more vocal than Emma was.
Her first birthday was fun! We had the Russells and Clarks over for dinner, cake, ice cream, and presents. Adele inhaled the cake (see below), and was awesome at opening gifts.

Here's to hoping she walks before 18 months, I can take her binky away at 18 months, and her terrible twos start and end early like Emma's!! Love you, Bells!!
