Adia had another napless day today. There were more than a few moments I wanted to tear my hair out, but we survived. Despite no nap, she wasn't very cranky, just very mischievous.

She started the morning by letting us know she knew a few new words. When she followed Daddy onto the porch, she pointed up to the sky and said, "It cloudy." Then she pointed at her feet and said, "and feet cold." We had no clue that she could say cloudy, let alone know what it meant. She also mimicked Daddy today when he said a bad word. She is definitely a little copy cat.

When it was time for lunch, Adia turned off the TV and looked at me. She had a huge grin on her face as she said, "I eat?" I asked her if she wanted to eat lunch and she ran to the kitchen. She ended up eating 1/2 a can of tuna! She had a hungry day because she was the same way at breakfast. She ate all her ham and some of mine.

Adia was super happy to see Daddy when he woke up. She immediately ran over and gave him a big hug. She quickly came running back to me though when he pulled out the vacuum cleaner. She hates that thing. She sat in my lap on the couch while he vacuumed and never cried. I guess it's not as scary as she thought.

All day she's been asking for cookies, but she ate the last oatmeal cookie yesterday. After Daddy was done vacuuming, I started to bake some more cookies. The second she heard the mixer turn on, she came running into the kitchen, pointing at the mixer and yelling, "Cookies!" I guess she knows where they come from. Daddy and Adia were waiting as the first batch came out of the oven. She gladly shared one. Then we were out the door to meet Gamma and Gampa at the mall. We had a small hang up on the porch though when Adia wanted to bring her pumpkin with her.




We saw Gamma and Gampa through the doors. I told Adia, "I see Gamma and Gampa" and she started saying, "Gamma and Gampa!" She was so happy to see them again and ran up to get lots of hugs. We had dinner at Chili's, but Adia didn't eat anything. After eating, we headed to the play area. There were tons of kids there, but Adia loved it. She went down the slide over and over again. She also got another boy in trouble when she pushed him out of the way to get to a toy and he pushed back. She always seems to get away with everything because she's smaller. She also had fun with another little boy who couldn't walk alone yet, but was taller than Adia! They looked like they could be siblings, both blond and blue eyed. Adia also had fun getting trapped by Gampa.


We had to ride the ice cream truck and the escalator. Then we visited the pet store. Adia pet a bunny and kissed a guinea pig. She once again wanted to play with the lizards and tarantula. We made one last stop at Children's Place before leaving. I had a $10 off coupon and some other discount coupons. They're also having a huge sale right now. I ended up buying Adia a pair of shoes and 2 long sleeved shirts for less than $5. I felt pretty good about that. Adia was playing with Gampa and Daddy while in the store and when we tried to leave, she kept running back in. She agreed to leaving when I let her carry the bag.

Adia didn't take a bath before bed tonight, but she didn't want to. She went to bed pretty easily. She's now added her Tickle Me Cookie Monster to the list of things she likes to sleep with. I now have a Cookie Monster, baby doll and Ariel blanket that sleep with me every night.
