Little Stinker Part 2

You may be looking at this picture thinking "why would Abbie put the crib in the middle of the room?" It's because my Little Stinker has gotten herself into more trouble and we're taking safety precautions. Let me start from the beginning...

About 20 minutes into Adelyn's Saturday afternoon nap the monitors started going off like an alarm. This was not a noise we'd heard before so both Matt & I went to investigate. As we slowly opened the door to Adelyn's room and peeked our heads in we saw our sweet little girl wrapped in the cord of the monitor chewing away. She had pulled the wire through her crib, knocked the monitor onto the floor and was having an afternoon snack. Of course we took it all away, repositioned the monitor and because I have not baby proofed yet, covered the electrical outlet with painter's tape.

Sunday morning when I went in to get her up I noticed that on the other side of her crib she had pulled the fabric from the table through the slats of the crib. This girl is on a mission I tell you! Although I'm not sure that either of us know what the mission is. So I fixed the table cloth, laughed at what a silly girl she is and went on with the day.

Monday was actually incident free.

Tuesday is not...She slept a little longer than usual during her morning nap and I'm not one to wake a sleeping baby so I enjoyed a few extra minutes to myself. Once I heard her moving around I went in to get her and guess what was stuck across the front of her sleep sack...blue painter's tape! This girl is good!

So thanks to the careful planning that goes into new construction homes there are electrical outlets about every 4 inches on all 4 walls meaning that the only safe place for Adelyn at this time is in the middle of the room. Electrical outlet covers will be purchased and installed today but I'm not so sure that's going to stop this kid.

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement. Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 1 Thessalonians 3:9

10 years

Today Matt & I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! Part of me can hardly believe that it's already been 10 years. I can still remember so many details of that time in our lives. The joy and excitement of the wedding and anticipation for the future. And another part of me knows that 10 years is not that long at all. We've only just begun! We did not get any digital images from our wedding photographer (it was a different time back in 2003) but a friend took these and gave them to me. One of my favorite parts of our ceremony was that we signed a covenant. Matt & I signed first and then both of our family's came up and signed. It was a really special part of our ceremony. I am so thankful for these past 10 years with my best friend! When Matt & I met at a mutual friend's house 12 years ago I never could have imagined all that God had planned. But through it all - the victories and...

AdeG & KK

AdeG & KK: Partners in Crime They love each other so much! They can make each other laugh just by breathing... When Adelyn gets her picture taken... ...Caiden thinks he needs to have his picture taken. This is how everyone walks their dog...right? AdeG & KK - I love you! Btw... "AdeG" is a silly nickname for Adelyn that came about from a question like this - "What would my name be if you spelled it a-d-e-g?" Whenever we do call her AdeG she laughs and says "my name's not AdeG!" "KK" is what Caiden says when you ask him to say his name. :)
