My sweet Adah-Cakes! I don't know why we call her that, but we always have! I love her fun personality and sweet smile! I have been told so many times (and agree) that she could be a little model. She should have on a prairie dress, frolicking in the meadow! Everything about her screams peaceful and sweet! Her hair has such a natural flow to it! And quite often I have to have her repeat things she says because she is so quiet in her voice!
Adah adores her sisters and wants to do everything Kezzie and Austin do. I forget that she is only 2 and find myself filling her plate with the same things/amounts, expecting the same understanding out of her, and asking her to do things that the older ones are doing. She will always try, bless her heart!
Adah is in the book reading stage. If she and I ever get a moment alone (and we are getting more of this with Kez in school) then she will grab a bunch of books. I LOVE sitting in the chair just snuggling with Adah and a bunch of books!
Adah is still taking a good nap in the afternoons. She will lay down when I put Eden down around 1:30. She typically sleeps about 1.5-2 hours. She wakes in the morning around 6:30/7:30. She loves the idea of eating cereal with milk but rarely finishes it (and I only put a small handful)! She is addicted to "samiches" (sandwiches) and will request it every time she is given the chance. She also loves Kraft Mac-n-cheese (NO other kind will do-she seriously won't eat it) and pizza! She isn't totally in love with any particular fruit but will pretty much always eat carrots, broccoli or sweet pea pods! When Adah gets up from her nap she requires a great amount of cuddles. It has taken me a while to get used to this because Keziah wasn't ever like that. Adah needs it to wake up properly or else she is a bear! After cuddles she wants a snack. Her favorite things for snack time are fishy crackers mixed with raw almonds and raisins. Supper time is a struggle though (maybe it's the snack that ruins it-who knows), she takes AGES to eat her supper. We eat around 6 every night so I wouldn't think her snack is interfering! She just piddles and pokes but eventually eats everything! I hope this is just a phase!
At bed time (around 7:30/8) she gets out of bed a hundred times before she falls asleep. She will claim she has to pee, needs a drink, needs a kleenex, and then needs to throw the kleenex away...it goes on and on! If she isn't getting out of bed she is singing and talking to herself for an hour! This too is just a phase, right?!
I love Adah's ability to pretend. She will mother any stuffed animal or baby she comes in contact with. And she is so gentle and loving when she does it! Sometimes I think she is nicer to her dollies then Eden!! She loves to put them in their strollers and push them around the house, claiming to head to grandma's house or the doctor's office or library! She is so tender and fun to watch! One thing is for sure though, if you don't know where she is and it is QUIET...not good! She is still holding on strong to that sweet but secretly naughty personality!
I love you miss Adah! You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! What a wonder you are!
