So Adelle started to take a few steps around Christmas. We got a few pictures and a video, but I'm having a hard time finding them. Anyway, she was taking as many as 11 steps up until last Friday. Something happened to our Sweet Girl over night on Thursday because on Friday, she was walking around like she had always done it!!
Even since then she has gotten more sure of herself, sturdy, and more mobile. She is just tooling all over the place! She will sometimes start to crawl again, but then I think she remembers that she CAN walk so she gets up and starts walking again.
She is so adorable because she will walk to a toy, squat to pick it up, stand back up, turn around and start walking again. Her little legs, and her strength, just amaze me!! Soon she'll start running!! Oh my, sometimes, she will get off balance, lean forward, and kind of run to where ever she was going. It's super cute!!
Sigh... she's getting so big!

Worst. Mom. Ever!
I know that I am NOT the worst mom ever, but sometimes I feel that way. Brian gets VERY tired of me saying it, but there are times when I feel like it. When I don't get to see Adelle as often as I want to (because of school commitments), when I try to give her new food and she doesn't take it right away - I have her try it more than once, or when I take care of her all day and she is super fussy so when Brian gets home I sometimes leave the room (so I don't go insane). But today takes the cake.
Today sucked. Completely.
Adelle and I fell down the stairs. She fell out of my arms and ended up rolling, like a log, down a few stairs. She cried right away, doesn't have any bruises, her pupils were fine and she didn't have any trouble breathing. She had her helmet on and was walking around, squatting, standing, and talking like normal the rest of the day. I called the doctor right away, then called Brian. I have been crying since it happened! HOW did she come out of my arms?
Today is a day I feel like the worst mom ever. Ever!
We gave Adelle a bath tonight and looked at her body again, to make sure she didn't have any bruising. She doesn't and nothing seems tender or sore. I mean, I have moved her arms and legs and gently pressed my hand against her belly, abdomen and back.
:(
I understand that this has happened to other people, and that children fall off beds. I also understand that children fall and they are generally fine, you should just keep an eye on them. But nothing stops you from feeling the way you feel when it happens to you and your child.
PLEASE chime in if you've had something like this happen. I truly feel like I am alone in this, and, like the worst mom ever!!

Birthdays Galore!
January is an exhausting month.
We end the year with Christmas and start the year with not one, not two, but 5 birthdays! 5 in our immediate family anyway! Can you even believe it?! It's emotionally, physically, and monetarily exhausting. I love this month and that we are able to celebrate so many milestones with our family - we are truly blessed!
Here is a list of SOME of the people who have a birthday in January: Adelle, Me, Aunt Linda, Liz and David, Kara, Halle, Bruce, Michelle, Dottie, Angie, Zoe, and Zack (the dog). There are more too! Well, we know what people were doing in April :)
Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone with a January birthday a very happy and joyous day!

Adelle Turns 1!
We can't believe our Sweet Girl is 1 already! She is getting SO big!! We went to the doctor today and she is 2ft 6 1/4in tall, she DEFINITELY doesn't get that from me, and is 18lbs 15oz. She is eating lots of veggies, some fruits and meats, but she LOVES spaghetti, something she DEFINITELY gets from me! :)
Here are some pictures from her first birthday. We celebrated on Sunday, her actual birthday, with our family! Bruce and Sharon, John and Dottie, Angie, Dale and Lila, Maria, Becky, Pat and Zoe, and Ben and Melissa. We were just missing Great Grandma Dolores, and Danielle, Mike, Isabelle and Gabe but we celebrated with them a few days earlier. It was so much fun!!
