22 Months

Ada is growing like a weed, a very tall weed. She is off the charts for height and at this rate will be taller than Todd as an adult. Hopefully it will slow down a little 🙂 She is talking more and more as to be expected and loves to help when she can. Ada has been saying “that sound?” whenever she hears something new or is curious. She also has the sweetest singing voice, especially when she sings Jesus Loves Me.

Ada was a big help when getting our Christmas tree this year. She found the prefect tree from the map and even helped Todd cut it down. She then got to ride in the cart all the way back to the car with her prized tree. The next day, after mom decorated, Ada decided to rearrange (multiple times) the lower-half ornaments her way and now the tree is perfect 🙂

Working on Hawaii pictures…should be up before next summer 😉

Ada’s Tricycle

A neighbor gave us this old tricycle for free and I thought it could be a fun project to repaint. It was a little fun, but mostly tedious with removing decals, sanding, priming and waiting for paint to cure 🙂 I still may add embellishments, like streamers or some body detail, but for now this is how it turned out. I also debated painting the wheel rims, but they were not going to come off easily, so they remain white.

I completely forgot to take a before picture before Todd disassembled it so I had to improvise a little and piece it back together without the nuts and bolts. You get the idea 🙂
