Mr. Puppy: Adele’s BFF May 3, 2013

Adele has been sleeping with the same little puppy since she was four months old. She LOVES it. When it’s time for bed, she takes the puppy and rubs it on her cheek or puts it on her forehead and promptly falls asleep. I knew that a lovey can be a great sleep association, but I had no idea how much she’d truly grow to love Mr. Puppy.

Usually, puppy stays in the crib. I wanted her to associate it with sleep, so I never let her play with it when it wsan’t time to sleep. But now that she’s mobile, she figured out that she can rescue puppy from his crib jail during the day. He’s freeeee!

So now puppy gets to come on all of Adele’s adventures with her (around the house). She crawls around carrying him in her mouth. It’s pretty hilarious.

I catch her talking and playing with him all the time, it’s SOOO cute!

Some kids have a blankie, some kids have a stuffed animals. Adele has puppy, they are best friends.

No puppy left behind.

PS, how cute is her sticker! She got it at an event last week. Awe. Sometimes I forget how legit she is.

But as much as Adele loves puppy, I am starting to think he’s a bad influence too. He convinced Adele to go into my room and take my giant tub of lotion into the living room. I have a feeling these two are going to get into lots of trouble in the coming months.

What’s this Green Stuff? April 26, 2013

Adele’s usually pretty easy going… but we found out recently that she does NOT like grass. She won’t even touch it, let alone crawl on it.

So, of course, that meant we tortured her by making her sit on it. haha poor baby.

Then she realized it wasn’t so bad if she didn’t have to touch it!

Adele Meets Shamu April 22, 2013

Irving and I woke up early and drove down to SeaWorld for the day on Sunday! My friend Courtney was in San Diego and since it’s only two hours from LA, we thought SeaWorld would be the perfect opportunity to catch up and do something fun!

We started our day by going up the Sky Tower (a ride that takes you 328 feet up above the park)!  We could see all the tanks below with the dolphins and whales swimming around.

Adele loved it, obviously.

Then we headed over to ride the roller coaster! Daddy and Adele chickened out, but Courtney and I rode the Manta and LOVED it! I giggled and screamed the whole time, it was awesome!
IMG_1682

We brought our new umbrella stroller and I think Adele liked it. What a life, right?

Ok, Adele. Where should we go next?
IMG_1702

Yea? You want to see the dolphins? Ok, let’s do it!

 IMG_1720Look, mama! Fishies!

All around the park are individual aquariums, so we checked out the Sea Turtle exhibit next. These guys are awesome!

It was nice to be able to go from inside to outside so we never got too hot.
IMG_1768

I think her favorite part of the entire day was watching the roller coaster go by. haha Maybe because it’s so big and loud, but she was pretty mesmerized by it.

Adele was excited to hang out with Courtney so Irving and I could check out the Shark exhibit together. haha It was like a 3 minute date! haha We even held hands when we walked through. Awe.

And then it was time! Shamu Time!!
IMG_1785(Mom, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a killer whale, have I?) So awesome!

IMG_1800

Hey, buddy!

Then it was time to see Shamu in action!
IMG_1828

Adele took a 10 minute nap ALL day, so she was pretty zonked by this point, but she still paid attention and watched, even from up high!
IMG_1831

IMG_1836

After the show, we walked around for a bit hoping Adele would fall asleep (spoiler alert: she didn’t), but we got to look at the Penguins and the Beluga whales! So awesome.
IMG_1839

What a great, great day. Adele was amazing and we all had a blast. It was nice to remember that San Diego is really in our backyard.

Then, to keep it interesting, we headed to Old Town in San Diego for some amazing authentic Mexican Food. Yes! I almost don’t want to tell you about it because we like to keep it our little secret. (*cough*cough* Casa Guadalajara *cough*cough*) We ordered way too much food and left stuffed to the gills. We also ordered Adele food from the kids menu for the first time! Quasadilla with rice & beans with a side of fruit. She had plenty of leftovers, but she enjoyed it. Suffice it to say, she slept in the car for the entire two hours it took to get home. (and then another 12 hours straight after that!) Yea, she was tired.

I think Courtney needs to visit us more often!
