A nice visit with family
I can't believe how far behind I am with the blog. I have been sooooo busy. I know, from the blog it looks like all I do is hike.....but I figure no one wants to see me grocery shopping or moving my office for the second time in 6 months!
Anyway, As mentioned in another post, Jeff's brother Todd and his girlfriend Jackie came to visit in September. We had a wonderful weekend with them. We went on a hike from the house and ended up with some lovely pictures.
We didn't want them to be bored with just us, so we invited my whole family up for a cookout. Here is Adele with her cousins. They all think that she is so novel!

Me and My Monkey
Jeff's brother Todd and his girlfriend Jackie came to visit in September. They brought Adele her now most favorite toy: a stuffed monkey. She loves the monkey and did immediately. I'm happy that she now has a special toy that she sleeps with. The monkey is cute too. And the good news? I already know that I can get more at amazon.com if she develops a toy dependency!
Watching her carry around the stuffed monkey in her mouth is hilarious. I wish you all could see it in person!
They also brought her a bunch of ADORABLE clothes, like this little pink vest. Is it wrong to be jealous of my daughter's new pink vest?

Happy Anninversary
Today is our 12 year wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Jeff!
A few weeks ago Adele and I were wandering around in the woods when we found what I call "The Vista." It is about a 4 minute walk from the house and makes a wonderful destination for a short walk, or a nice starting point for a longer hike. You can see part of the vista below, but it includes much more expansive views including Mount Evans and Grays and Torreys peaks.
There is a lovely aspen grove and open area near the vista. Here are my parents after we visited a couple weeks ago.
Auntie Di came to visit today. She and Adele enjoyed reading "Goodnight Moon" together. Adele seemed to have no interest in books until last week. Now she actually loves them for more than just something to chew on! She came down with an ear infection last week and I think that she enjoyed just looking at the picture books instead of playing. It has been a rough week, but I'm happy to say that she seems to be doing much better this evening.
I'm happy to report that she didn't try to bite the book once!

Adele is still having fun!
Adele is still doing the "army crawl" but she's a lot faster at it. She really enjoys pulling herself around the house and exploring. Just this week she's starting to pull up on things. I had a shocking moment on Saturday when I went in to get her from a nap and she was standing up in her crib looking at me. She was just beaming with pride and accomplishment while my jaw almost hit the floor!
She is starting to feed herself cheerios and pieces of fruits and veggies. Sometimes, she thinks that she can feed herself with the spoon as you can see below. She gets it in her mouth about 75% of the time!

Guest Baby: ZOE!!
This post is all about Zoe who was born 10 days after Adele. Zoe is a lot bigger than Adele and she is about to walk any day. Isn't she adorable?!!
