Leaves Leaves & More Leaves

Here are some pics from 2 weeks ago, we were attempting to get all of our leaves picked up...there are soooo many. It is nice to have big mature shade trees but in the fall it isn't fun raking and hauling away 10-15 truck loads of leaves!

Happy Halloween

Below are some pics from Trick-or-Treating on Sunday in Polk City. Adrian was an Ice Cream Cone and Trice even came along in his skeleton costume. Adrian had a good time she got the hang of it pretty fast recognizing the porch lights that were on.



These are Adrian's friends from her babysitters, on Monday they had their little Halloween party. (Left to Right)

3 Year Stats

Last Wednesday Adrian had her 3 year doctor appt. She didn't really cooperate on getting her height & weight but after some coaxing this is what we ended up with. Weight 35 Lbs (85%) & Height 39.5 inches (95%) so we have a big toddler! I looked back at my baby book to compare her stats to mine and she weighs 7 lbs. more then what I did at 3 years!


Adrian playing with her Birthday Mega Bloks from Uncle Joe & Nick! She decided she wanted to give her tower a kiss :)






Below are some of Adrian's favorite things and habits at age 3:


Favorite Cuddle Things: Her Little Pillow (it goes to daycare everyday), Toy Story plush characters (Jesse is her favorite), Paci (we are down to 2 lonely pacis and when those get lost or damaged we are done!) I don't want to end up on Dr. Phil with a 10 year old still using a paci!!


Favorite Things To Do: Play Hide-and-Seek, Dance, Watch any Toy Story Movie, Read Books, Sesame Street, Play-Doh, Going for walks, Playing at the Mall or Monkey Joes, Absolutely loves her nesting dolls, and of course her many babies.


Favorite Foods To Eat: Toast & Peanut Butter, Milk, Mac-n-Cheese, Whole Apple (she prefers it not cut up in pieces), any type of noodle, broccoli, oatmeal, cereal, juice, and fruit snacks.


Adrian is going to be a hard teenager to get out of bed in the morning...she already likes to lay in her bed in the mornings. She still likes collecting things doesn't really matter what it is so hopefully that hoarding trait fades over time. Adrian is still not potty trained, we went from a year ago almost potty trained (she was going 6 times a day) to now she has been refusing to even sit on the potty. She often is dry through the night so we know she has the ability to be done with pull-ups. That darn sticker chart isn't working anymore. I will have to come up with another plan :)
