our one-year-old

this week has been one filled with the antics of adam.

thursday, adam misplaced my wallet.
i looked everywhere.
every trash can
closets
shoe bins
tv cabinet
under beds, dressers
in drawers
dishwasher
dryer
laundry baskets
i even went so far as to offer a reward to bailey and alex.
$5 to the finder of the wallet
alex sat adam down and very slowly asked
'adam, _where _did _you _put _mom's _w_a_l_l_e_t?'
this lasted all thursday
all friday
most of saturday


saturday i was making adam a sandwich. he was playing under me- as usual. he opened up the cupboard and walked away. i turned to look at him as he turned around with his huge smile. in his hand- my wallet. such a simple find. after all that! it was in my crock pot. shouldaknown.

adam has started to 'help' when i change him! this is huge since he used to try to turn over and run away as quickly as possible! now he holds out his cute little feet so i can put on his pants. he smiles really bug cuz he knows he's a big boy helping mommy. he still does that funny head lift - like he's straining his neck when i pull him up from a lying position. like the head lift helps me get him up. funny.
