Adara's Dedication

Well we finally did it. It took a bit longer, but we did dedicate Adara to the Lord today. It was nice to family and friends surrounding us as Kim and Craig prayed over us. Paw Paw and grandma surprised by calling us on Saturday and letting us that they are coming for the dedication.

Adara giving Grandma some love.

Deji had some nice cuddle time with Grandma as well. First playing this little piggy with her and then

having her read a wonderful story to him.

Little Woman

She really is growing too fast. She can say about ten words now.
1. Mama
2. Daddy
3. Woof Woof Doggie (is that 3?)
4. That (said that today when she was telling Naiya that she wanted candy)
5. Apple
6. Banana
7. Thank you
8. Please (she mostly signs it)
9. Out
10. Ozzie
11. Naiya
Before I know she will be saying a lot more and know how to actually wear a bra. It is very true when they say the days are long, but the years are short. Cherish every moment!

Pointing and saying that.

Top Chefs

I have my personal chefs in the making. Femi made a chef hat and cookies at BJJ. That inspired him to want to make a dessert at home and I was more than happy to oblige. Of course Deji needed his own chef hat so Ryan made him one. Adara couldn't be left out of the fun so she joined in as well.

Femi really surprised me by doing a great job cracking the eggs. He didn't get any shells in the batter.

Baked, decorated and ready to enjoy. Just waiting for daddy to come back with some ice-cream.

Enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Really enjoying his!

Yum yum!
