Here are 20 random things about Adilyn -

1. She loves to swing. She could swing for hours and hours.

2. She went from calling all dogs she ever saw "Willow", to understanding that other dogs are called, "dogs", to now calling both our dogs "Wowee" (Zoe and Willow combined).

3. My favorite animal sound that she says is "ribbit". She says it all soft and cute.

4. She likes to read a truck magazine while she sits on the potty - wonder who she learned that from.

5. When we leave daycare, she has to stop and wave bye-bye to the babies in the baby room.

6. She looks in my pants to check for "poo-poo".

7. She is a drinking fool - sometimes she can't decide if she wants juice or milk, so she gets one cup of each and takes turns sipping from one then the other.

8. She loves to make "tents" with blankets.

9. If she wants you to sit down by her, she'll pat the floor like I do to the dogs.

10. Her favorite words are "no" and "mine". Both are said in a screechy little voice, it's awesome.

11. Temper tantrums are one of her favorite things these days.

12. When she sees a picture of a baby crying in a book, she'll make little whimpering sounds.

13. When Cory or I leave the room, she yells "Mommy" or "Daddy" in a very demanding way, as if to say, "Um, excuse me, where do you think you are going without me?"

14. She tries to eat with a spoon, but she can't get as much food with each bite, so she just gives up and dives in with her hands.

15. If she is wondering where something is, she brings her hands up like she's saying "I don't know."

16. When she really wants to do something she'll say "ya" after it, like that makes it really serious. Her favorite, "Swing, ya!" or "Outside, ya!".

17. One time when I was desperate to keep her entertained in the car, I put Cheerios in between her toes. Now, she likes to put Cheerios in between her toes and eat them from her foot. I hope she doesn't do that at school.

18. She loves dipping food in things - ranch, ketchup, honey mustard, etc. Some of her combinations turn out to be very interesting. Pears and ranch. Grapes and ketchup. Cheddar chips and honey mustard.

19. I was trying to teach her to say "octopus", but she said "apple juice" instead, so now she thinks that's how you say "octopus".

20. She counts to three, but at three she tickles herself or someone around her because that's what I used to do when I was going to tickle her.
