Pointing

Adelais is now pointing at everything. When she wants something, she points. When she sees someone, she points. When you ask her, "Where's Mommy?", she points to mommy. I even showed her a picture of her, Andrea and me and asked her, "where's Mommy?" and she pointed straight at Andrea. She also knows where to point when you ask, "Where's Mountain?", or "Where's Bessie?". She's not so good with "Where's Daddy?" yet... But, it is amazing that she has connected names with people and animals and can signal what she wants when she wants it. Of course she is also using it to distract herself at times. Last night when I was putting her to sleep she kept pointing at everything trying to get me to get it for her. Soon I realized she was just trying to keep herself awake with distractions so I turned off the light. She wasn't too happy at first, but in ten minutes she was asleep. : )

Yes, Mountain and Adelais are buddies.

First Performance

Last Saturday my dance company, The PlayGround, performed in a choreographers' showcase at the Clarice Smith Center for the Performing Arts at University of Maryland College Park. We had a 3pm performance, so it was perfect for Adelais to come and watch us dance. Grandpa C brought her along to our "pre-performance event" in the lobby (see photo) and then back at intermission to watch us perform on stage. She did great - though I'm not sure how much she actually watched (again, see photo)...
