The Lloyds

Love,
The most ornery girl in the world, or at least the most ornery girl living in my house and making funny faces at the camera. (Adeline)

Seeing how I am probably one of the greatest drivers to ever drive this earth I thought it to be time for the little one to get some lessons.  The first driving lesson took place about a month ago in the kitchen.  It was a sort of fast and furious lesson that I deemed to be appropriate for a 6 month old.

She survived that experience which is a good thing and then today she got to go outside for a ride since Al Gore's global warming has the temperature at about 55 degrees here in Ohio.

I'm sure that most of you are much more comfortable watching that video since Kimberly had us all under control.  She pretty much won't let me play anywhere that I might be able to get close to full speed. She insisted on driving this time because Adeline has too much fun (and comes too close to certain death) when I am in charge of the gas pedal.
I guess that the casual observer would think that this is the face of a happy baby after a drive around the block but I just can't help to see the disappointment hidden deep in those big blue eyes.  Poor little girl.  Maybe next time when your momma isn't around we'll take the dog on a run around the neighborhood. 

We can't believe our little angel is 7 months old today. She has such the personality these days. Her vocabulary has grown to Oscar (of course), hi, da-da, doggie. Still working on mama. We've also been practicing signing for more and please, although she thinks an open mouth means more. She loves playing with her toys and has started dancing to music. Her singing/screaming/squealing is hilarious and her laughter lights up the room. Mommy has been monitoring the flying lessons since her video debut with daddy. Her legs are getting stronger and is able to stand but is still pretty unbalanced. She has no interest in crawling yet...we think she's going to walk before she crawls. She is still sleeping 12+ hours at night with 2 hour naps during the day. She makes our hearts melt with that pretty smile of hers. Adeline is truly a blessing to us and there isn't a day that goes by that we don't thank God for her.
