The Many Faces of Adeline Lilly

Addy has become quite the expressive little lady. She loves to make all kinds of faces at us and at anyone or anything she may come in contact with. The other day when the air conditioning came on she looked over to where the sound was coming from and flashed a rather dirty look. She is constantly keeping us amused and entertained with all her faces. I took some pictures outside a little while back, which showcase her wide range of facial expressions. Here are just some of them...

Excited


Thoughtful

Sighing

Distraught

Upset

Scheming

Besides making faces, here are some things going on in Addy's life at the moment. She loves to watch Ryan and I brush our teeth, every time we come out of the bathroom brushing our teeth she smiles the hugest smile ever! She loves rolling around on our bed. The other day I was checking blogs for literally one minute and had my back turned to her. I heard a thud and then she let out a cry and I realized she had rolled right off the bed. (She didn't get hurt, just quite startled!) She loves to be outside all the time! She seems to be developing a bit of stranger anxiety. Lately, when new people come up and talk to her she will often put on her pouty face and then start to cry. She chews on anything and I do mean anything she can get her little hands on. She loves to touch our faces, especially inside our mouths. She loves to bounce up and down when she's sitting and sometimes even when she's eating, we've dubbed it "The Addy Bounce". She loves having the "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" sung to her and smiles and flaps her arms whenever we sing it to her. She still loves to stick her very long tongue out! She's very ticklish all over and giggles a bunch when she gets tickled. In general, she is a very happy and giggly baby. She loves to walk with assistance from Ryan. She's getting there on the crawling (which I'm in no hurry at all to have her do!) and can sit up on her legs, a little like a frog. Most of all, she makes us happy to be her parents and we love her a whole bunch!

I hope she'll like me planting kisses all over her, and hugging the daylights out of her. One more day!

I loved sighing and schemeing. So funny. I also loved that the title made me think of that old movie the three faces of Eve (or something like that) about a crazy multiple personality lady :)

Very cute. It's great to watch kids develop their personalities.

I can't believe how much Addy looks like both of you guys. She's adorable! Isn't it so sad that it all goes by so fast? I can't even really remember Sam as a little guy without having to go back and look at pictures. Thank goodness for cameras!

Scheming! Hilarious. So on SYTYCD....this season is not as cool as last season...I agree. I think it is because there were more cute boys last season and all of the cute boys this year are...eh...a little flaming. But I love how Mark can turn off his gayness and pull out the Macho man when he performs. That dance he did to bleeding love with Chelsea was my favorite this season.

I had to save a bunch of these pictures to my own computer because we loved them so much. Scheming is actually my very favorite! I love hearing updates about what she's doing and what she likes. Hopefully while we're there visiting, she'll get used to us so she's not too sad to have us around.
