Adele in March

We decided to put Adele in a 6-week swimming class and here we are at our first lesson. Adele had never been in a swimming pool before, which is a shame considering this lovely facility is about 7 minutes from our house. We'll try to do better! The one little boy that she adores from daycare, Max, also happened to be in the class, so that added to the excitement. At one point, they just sat looking at each other screaming with excitement and shattering the eardrums of anyone in the pool. It was hilarious.



Adele is changing so much all the time. She's a full-blown toddler at this point. She hardly ever walks anywhere electing instead to run. She uses a new word almost every day and the funnest thing is that she has started singing. She sings as she plays, when she's going to sleep, in the tub....just about everywhere. Some of her favorite new words include: birds, slide, hot, and whoa. You can just see a language explosion on the horizon. We can't wait!

A fun visit!

Dean and Cheryl came to Colorado for a ski trip and to visit their niece Adele. It took her about 5 minutes to warm up to them at which point she was running and screaming and just having a fantastic time entertaining us all. I think our sides hurt from laughing so hard at her antics!

It was a nice evening, so a happy hour hike seemed in order.

She's got a snack and the phone, which can only mean she's ready to ride!

The Bean Bag Chair

Adele got a new bean bag chair from Auntie Diana and the boys. Here she is trying it out

And hanging out with her aunt, cousins, and grandparents. This was back in January. I'm a bit behind!

Winter!

Adele and I, and sometimes Jeff, have still been hiking when we can. It has been windy, so it isn't always easy to get out. We both really enjoy the hikes, so we're so happy when the weather cooperates.
