Not So Baby Mui Mui

Adelyn is also changing from being a toddler to a big girl as well.  After her hair cut, it seemed like it transformed her into a big girl.  Len recently converted her crib to a toddler bed.  It seemed really high, so we ended up putting Layla's old toddler bed into her room.  With both the toddler beds in Adelen's room, Layla can still sleep over if she chooses.  On the first night, Adelyn did great, but she fell out on the second day when she woke up.  I remember Layla had a few falls when she was transitioning too.

  

Adelyn loves to be just like her sister.  She copies her, and she's her partner in crime.  Adelyn enjoys playing with her sister, and they are much better at taking turns.  Arguments and fights still erupt, sometimes over the slightest thing.  For example, Adelyn will get upset if Layla continues to sing a song that she has requested her to stop singing (usually in the car).   

When the girls are playing nice, it's nice to hear them getting along and laughing together, music to my ears.  When the girls have their baths together, they like to float in the bathtub together, often silly and giggly, and with water everywhere.   I hope the girls grow up to be the best of friends.

Adelyn is interested in:

• not wearing a diaper.  She will take off her diaper, and her pants..."hey, where's your diaper?!?!"
• playing with babies, bathing them, feeding them, changing them, taking them around in the stroller
• anything Layla has or does, and it has to be equal
• doing things herself, like eating, putting on her shoes, getting in her car seat
• always saying "oww... you hurt me..." it's a common phrase around the house
• colouring her hands when markers are involved in a craft, once she used a marker like lipstick and got it all over her face (the picture didn't turn out very well)
• playing on the swings, going down slides, climbing around the stairs
• singing songs, especially ones with actions
• sitting in your lap to get one-on-one attention
• penguins, she really likes Happy Feet, and her penguin pjs
• playing with the parachute, running in and going crazy
• playing with puzzles
• role playing with little figurines

We love you, Mui Mui!
