Adah is 21 MONTHS!!

Here's my Adah!  She is getting so big!  She's goofy, lovable, cuddly and very opinionated!  And her curls are to die for!  Not much has changed since last month.  Adah is a big talker, although you wouldn't know it unless you hung out in her environment and were around her for a longer period of time.  She is also shy in some ways so you may not see that side of her until she gets to know you!  It might be that she feels a little overshadowed by Kezzie's talking!  She is putting together a couple words to get her point across and will even mimic a whole sentence after someone.  She copies everything Keziah does.  She just thinks she is the coolest person on the planet.  I have noticed her try to get Kezzie's goat a few times too though (ie: putting her foot in Kezzie's way to irritate her). 

Adah is such a sleeper.  She typically sleeps until 8 and takes about a 2.5/3 hour nap around 1ish.  She goes to bed by 8 most nights too!  Most days Adah wakes up from her nap dry, but there is never a night she doesn't wet her diaper.  She is doing great going potty and hasn't had an accident in a long long time (knock on wood).

Adah is finally getting into reading books.  It used to be that she would pick out a book for 'you to read' and then she would sit up on your lap and refuse to let you touch the book.  She would just want to flip through the pages or find her favorite page to look at it.

Adah loves waking up in the morning and says 'mo-ning' when you walk into her room.  She gives her paci and blankie a kiss and nicely places them on her pillow.  As we pass Keziah's room she always asks, in her own way, where Kezzie is.  We get down stairs and she says "Hi Ziah" about a hundred times!  The girls play while I get their juice/breakfast.  Adah loves to eat cereal and bagels.  But she really doesn't care much for her juice right away in the morning like Kezzie does.  She typically doesn't drink it until snack time.  She just isn't that ready for liquids in the morning.

Adah loves to sing "Happy Birthday."  She is so cute when she sings it!  We have a little cake that has candles that light up on it and you can blow them out and it sings happy birthday to you so she has come to know the song well.  Of course, you only catch a few words here and there, but it is adorable!  She also loves the clean up song!  Here is a video of her singing while she picks up some beads she purposely threw on the floor!

That's our sweet Adah!  I can't believe we are so close to celebrating her 2nd birthday!
