Fitztropolis: 2.5 years with Adelyn

It is so crazy to me that we have been blessed with Adelyn for 2.5 years. It feels like she's been here forever. I can't imagine what life would be like without her crazy sayings and hilarious expressions. Way.To.Quiet. She has such an awesome personality, I love it. She is a little shy around people she doesn't know but usually opens up in no time. Around people she knows, watch out! She can be sooo stubborn. Apparently she gets that from me.. She is the smartest little person. Her latest thing that amazes me is when she gets silverware out of the drawer to pull something closer to her. The things we put on the back of the counter are no longer safe. She swipes at them until she can get it. She can have the biggest mood swings of anyone I know..but apparently that's normal. Sometimes I say to Eric I can't just flip a switch like that.. She is (for the most part)such a loving, sweet little girl. I hope she she stays that way. She is soo polite and I love it. She always says sorry, tank you and peas :) She always has to have everything just so. If we have done it one way it HAS to be that way.
