Sitting on the Sofa with Daddy

For the past several months, Adelaida has delighted in mimicking us. This takes many forms -- when she sees us eat, she will move her jaw up and down as if eating; when we give her food that is too hot and blow on it to cool it off, she blows on her food; when we jump, she jumps. This has even extended to something as simple as sitting. Several times, when Adelaida has seen Dale sitting on a sofa, she has asked to be picked up onto the sofa, then arranged herself next to him, in the same position. I've managed to get photos of this a couple of times:

She starts by sitting next to him ...


... but soon bores of sitting and wants to stand up ...


... and finally get down and play. Adelaida likes to sit on the sofa with Daddy, but only for a few minutes :)


Snuggling on the sofa -- look at the grin on Dale's face! He loves it!


She stayed on the sofa with him for quite a while, watching a World Cup game. Dale has been teaching Adelaida to say "Goooooooooooaaaaaaalll!!!" whenever a soccer goal is scored. She loves to say it with him, but she can't pronounce her Gs very well and always stops a word after the first vowel sound, so it comes out more like "Dooooooooooaaaa!!!!"


Dale put his hand near Adelaida's belly and she reached up to hold his hand.


Adelaida and her Daddy ... aren't they adorable!
