The high today was 89 degrees, a perfect first day of fall. We're not ready for summer to end yet. Adelyn has changed so much in the short time she has been here. She wants to make her own choices now, i.e. red cup vs yellow cup or blue popsicle vs. orange. Although her pronunciation cannot always be understood, she can count to 10 and say her abc's. (The "l-m-n-o-p" is not too distinguishable, yet.) She has grown over 4 inches in height and gained almost 3 pounds. She is still underweight for her age, but eats well. Her favorite foods (this month) are apples, blueberries, any kind of chicken, french fries, salmon patties, craisins, hard boiled eggs, sweet potatoes (still will not eat mashed potatoes), peas, vanilla wafers and popsicles. It took her a while to say the word popsicle but now she is fasinated by it. She walks around saying it over and over. Pop....sicle, pop....sicle.
Adelyn's favorite things to do are swimming, playing with the infamous "Butterbean", her favorite doll, jumping (on the neighbors trampoline), playing with chalk, and singing with a microphone. It doesn't have to even be an actual one. A stick will do, or a camera cable, or a crayon, or a play-doh mic. She also loves to dance to music. She seems to like all music. She loves, loves, loves play-doh and she loves to swing. She has also formed a special bond with Mr. P, our 16 year old cat. Adelyn calls him "P."
Strolling her favorite doll, Butterbean
Dumping out all the chalk
In September, Adelyn has her last visit at the International Pediatric Clinic at UK. She is a healthy 2 year old. We will miss seeing Dr. Taylor as she not only fully assessed Adelyn upon arrival to the U.S. but she helped and guided us via email while we were in China. She is a wonderful Pediatrician. We wish she had an office here.
Adelyn also had her first dentist appointment last week. She was scared at first but then just sat there with her mouth open while the dentist counted and brushed all twenty teeth. After they finished the exam, Adelyn sat up and loudly pronounced "Alllllll Done!!!" It was pretty cute.
Yeeeeaaaahh Play-Doh!!!!!
Having fun with cousin, Bradley
