Early Gift

For Christmas, we got Adelyn one of those sit-to-stand toys to help her learn how to walk.  Lately she has really been showing interest in learning how to walk so we decided not to wait until Christmas to give it to her.  She doesn't know the difference anyways!  So on Saturday, we put on the Christmas music, wrapped her present and let her go at it!

I had so much fun watching her.  She didn't really know what to do at first, but she did know that she wanted whatever it was and went for it!  Travis made the first little rip and she tore the rest off to discover the bright colors under all the paper!
I love the pure joy in this picture!! I just want to squeeze this little face!

 Once we got all the paper off, she climbed up onto the box to get a better look!  It was so cute!  It made me so happy that she liked it so much!  She kept spinning the little wheels. 

We gave her the wrapping paper to distract her while we put it together.  It was just as fun!

After pulling the pieces out of the box, I remember making this comment to Travis.  "It's a good thing you never read directions because they are all in Spanish."  I didn't think anything else about it.  I put the toy together while Travis went in search of batteries.  A few minutes later he came back down and greeted me with, "Aaammber (said like your mom says to you when you are in trouble), did you buy this toy online?"  I was confused and answered yes.  He pressed a button and the toy only spoke in Spanish.  haha.  We went ahead and showed it to Adelyn anyways!  She loved it!

 I contemplated keeping it because I would love for her to learn Spanish, but I am going to send it back and get an English speaking one so I can understand it!  At least we know that she likes it!  It looks like she may have to wait until Christmas after all!
I love her face in this picture!  I wish it wasn't blurry!

It is so fun experiencing things with her for the first time!  It is snowing right now.  We may venture out for her first snow adventures tomorrow if it sticks!  Then we will prepare for her first Thanksgiving! It is such an exciting time of year!
