Kid-isms

Tonight, when I was tucking Hunter in (for the 4th time), I said, "Good night Hunter!"  And a sweet little voice said back to me, "Good night, Mommy."
"I love you, son."
"I love you, too, Mommy."
OH!  Melt my heart my little boy is growing up.

Hunter has a great vocabulary and talks a lot.  A LOT.  There are a few words he still gets a little wrong....
-- He still calls elevators "alligators."
-- Bananas are --> BaBanas.
-- He can't quite say Adelyn.  She is "AdeWin."  Which is funny, because he cannot say "Woody" (from Toy Story).  He calls Woody "Hoodie."

Adelyn has taken to eating solid foods.  It took her a bit to warm up to the idea, but now she is full force eating away.  ;) The entire time she has something in her mouth, she sings.  Literally.  She has a lot to say about her food!  So cute.  I will try to capture this on film as it is hard to describe!

____________________________

Adelyn is a calm and happy baby, until she isn't.  Seriously, the girl can go from calm and mellow to freaking out in nothing flat.  Hunter always had a few warning signs at least and putting him in a moving car would always calm him down.  Not Adelyn.  When she is mad it doesn't matter what is happening, her needs will be tended to NOW or she will scream.  Sometimes this happens while I am driving or while I am doing something where my hands are not free and she must wait a moment.  But waiting is not.her.thing.  Hunter has started intentionally singing to her in moments like this.  He will start singing the ABCs or Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  Calms her down, even if it is just for a moment.  Such a sweet older brother.

The other morning I was in deep sleep and heard laughter.  Something about the sound of it set me off and I just KNEW something was wrong.  I was groggy but fumbled my way into Adelyn's room where I found Hunter INSIDE Adelyn's crib, covering her head with her blanket and laughing hysterically at her "disappearing."  Adelyn was obviously still asleep when Hunter broke into her room and had no idea what was happening to her.  Needless to say, we are CLOSING her door from now on!  We have a door gripper thing on her door so Hunter can't open that quite yet....
