Ada's Favorite Things- Nov 2010

Truth be told, Ada's list of favorite things is quite simple...


1. Bottle

2. Naps




3. Being held/Sitting with the kids (or us)

But, in the interest of being fair and since the other kids have a much longer list of favorite things, I thought I'd add a few more for Ada.


4. Baby Legs: Ok, so maybe it's not Ada's favorite thing but they are one of mine. How cute is this?




And, this?




5. Sitting up: She really loves to sit up these days. She can't sit up completely unassisted quite yet, though it appears that she can by this photo. I sat her up this way, let go for a few seconds, took the pic, then grabbed her before she toppled over. She is really getting much stronger so it should be any day now when she can truly sit like this for a longer period of time.

6. Rolling over on her stomach: She loves to roll over onto her stomach, much to my dismay. It's cute and great for her and all, but it makes me worry when she is napping.

7. Camping/Outdoors: She loves camping and staying outside. She also enjoys watching the kids run and play. Luckily, she also really likes the carrier - I think she likes it because she can still be carried and be able to see everything that is going on as well.


And, that's my baby!

Cora's Favorite Things - Oct/Nov 2010

On to child #3's favorite things....




1. Lucy: her favorite name right now. Every new animal/baby is to be named Lucy.
2. Build-a-Bear Bunny (aka Lucy): This is where the Lucy saga begins. Cora loves her bunny, Lucy. She hasn't had Lucy very long...just a few weeks. Lucy was a prize for Cora going to the potty for so many days in a row. After we bought Lucy, she stopped going in the potty (just for the stinkies.) So, basically she did what we wanted just long enough to get what she wanted, then she quit doing what we wanted. What more can I say?


(That's Lucy underneath Cora, along with her favorite green pillow and I am almost certain there are a few blankies in there too!)



3. Playing haircut: Cora likes to comb our hair, dry it, cut it, etc. with her "fake" hairstyling set. Even though the scissors are fake, everytime she "cuts" my hair with them, I always have that thought..."What if she is actually using real ones this time?"

4. Dora shirt: She is attached to this Dora tank top that is almost one size too small. She even wants to wear it now as it has turned cooler. I gave in a few times and put it over a long sleeve shirt but now I'm thinking it will have to magically disappear. (No picture available b/c I conveniently "lost" the shirt.)


5. Green pillow and blankies: She must have her green pillow and blankies in order to be a happy girl. She doesn't carry them around everywhere but at night time, they are a must. She quit carrying the blankies (actually burp cloths/cloth diapers) for awhile but they have recently resurfaced.


6. Mermaids: She likes all things Mermaid. One of the first things she always picks out in the toy dept. are those little Polly Pocket teeny tiny dolls with dress up clothes but she always picks the one that has a mermaid outfit.


(And, did I mention that they are often found lying around naked? And, without their mermaid tail? And, did I also mention how impossible it is to get the mermaid tail on?)





7. Cartoons: She has to have her cartoons. Loves them. Most all of them. A few of her favorites are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Little Einsteins, Dora, Diego, and Max and Ruby.


8. my IPHONE: This is her number one toy of choice at the present time. If I lay it down, she swoops in to take it so she can play her games. I have put a few apps on it that she really enjoys playing. She likes to play the coloring games, the "block" (Tetris) game, and the dress up games the best.


9. Raw veggies/apples: She could eat her weight in raw cucumbers. One day, I found her in bed with a bowl of cucumbers that she had gotten out of the fridge. Her next favorite raw veggies has to be red/yellow/green peppers. She is also very fond of fruit especially strawberries,blueberries, and apples.

10. Fruit roll ups, fruit snacks, junk food: As much as she loves her fruits and veggies, my girl is also a junk food junkie. She loves fruit by the foot and is very fond of mini Hershey bars.
And, that's my Cora's favorite things at the time.





The girl knows what she likes and usually knows how to get it!
