Ada...

Ada is quite the little talker. She is very shy at first but once she gets comfortable and starts talking this girl does not stop. I have no idea where she gets that from! She is always singing whether it is her ABC's, numbers, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or some other song that she has made up. She is definitely in the defiant stage and likes to press our buttons. The other day she said "I am going to be naughty so I am going in time out (naughty spot)" and she did all by herself. She then was naughty and climbed up the kitchen cart just like she said she was going to do. She has always been a climber but when she could get hurt is where we draw the line and we have stayed firm with it. The other thing that we pray is a phase is her tackling Sammy and squishing him. We will find her laying on top of Sammy underneath the kitchen table, the living room, the hall, it doesn't really matter where Sammy is as long as she can squish him she is happy. Now this makes the rest of us very unhappy--including Sammy!

Ada loves Dora, the Princesses, and Tinkerbell. We are not quite sure where the exposure to Tinkerbell comes from but she loves her. Ada enjoys showing us her "Princess Dance" and dressing up. She also enjoys showing off her Spanish speaking skills and likes counting in Spanish but it is only when she wants to do it she will not do it if you ask her to. She also likes drawing, coloring, doing projects, reading books, and playing with her babies.

Ada has officially gotten in all her teeth. She had all her baby teeth except her two year molars by February 2009. She got her first two two year molars bottom right and top left during the month of August. She got her bottom left two year molar in October (started in September) and her top right in the beginning of November (started in October). Ada has always had a rough time teething. Every tooth was an experience for the whole family as she let everyone she was not happy! We had many sleepless nights and early mornings so hopefully now we can get back to normal!

Ada is and has always been a mommy's girl. It is always "Mommy do it", "Mommy I need you", "Mommy where are you?", and "Mommy where are you going?". She can sure be a challenge sometimes but I love this little girl more than anything and I enjoy the time we have together! She is growing up so fast! I am in disbelief that she is going to be a big sister in a few short months.
