What Amelia is up to now:
-Climbing! She now figured out she can push chairs (her small ones and the dinning room chairs) over to reach things up high. She also climbs on anything she can! She loves to climb on the speaker and then into our blue chair. Once in the chair she will relax for a brief moment and then turn around and slide out only to do the whole thing over again!

| while I was washing dishes, she climbed up on table and started playing with the napkins and salt |
-Eating: we discovered that Amelia likes to use a fork instead of her spoon. We have a little toddler fork and let her use that one day and she loves to use it now. She can 'stab' or scoop up her food and get it to her mouth without it falling off! She still uses her hands quite a bit but the fork is a must at every meal now!
-She likes to help brush her hair and brush her teeth. She likes to help put on her clothes (shirts and shorts or PJ's) and she LOVES her shoes!
-New foods she likes: rice (from the Japanese steak house- with the white sauce and a creamy rice dish Mommy makes), hamburgers, tomatoes, oatmeal bars, just about anything Daddy is eating (except Caesar salad dressing!)
-Sleeping- the same as before- she goes to be about 8:00 PM and will sleep until between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. If she goes to bed later she typically will sleep in a little. We moved nap time up to 1:30 to 3:30 or 4:00ish and that is working out much better all around.

-Pretend- she loves toy phones or playing with our phones, she likes to vacuum with her toy vacuum, if she gets a hold of the broom she will try to sweep,
-Loves her Daddy- in the afternoon she will wait by the glass screen door (which I have to lock now since she figured out how to open it)- when she sees Daddy she will do a little dance that kinds looks like she is stomping her feet (although sometimes when he comes in she will run away; usually though she will hold her hands up for Daddy to pick her up!)
-Allergies: she had some allergies and unfortunately it got in her chest which made her very congested- the doctor ended up prescribing some antibiotics and that finally got rid of it all
-New Words: yucky, shoes, chair(sounds like "chee"), cheese (also sounds like "chee")
-She still loves books- her favorites lately have been animal books. She will sit with a picture book of animals and point to just about every animal on each page- she carefully studies all the pictures before turning the page.
-Loves music- she has one show that comes on after lunch (a Dr. Seuss show) that she loves to dance to the song they sing ; I don't let her watch any TV shows yet- when we had basic cable this was the only thing on while I was cleaning up after lunch and I like background noise- Amelia heard the song each day and now will watch just during the song and then go back to playing
-Can point to: head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, toes, and hair (on herself or on us) and she can stick out her tongue
 |
| look at that mischievous grin! |
-Teeth- her canines have come through(the pointy teeth) but she is still drooling and putting her hands way back in her mouth. I cannot wait until all this teething business if finished!
-she has started to carry around her extra silky blanket around some- we keep it downstairs usually and only the past couple of weeks (with all the teething and her not feeling well with allergies) she has carried it around a little.
-loves her friend that I babysit- Baylee is now crawling and will be taking her first steps any day now; Amelia will give her a hug and point to her if I ask "where is your friend?". Amelia loves to help me put Baylee down for naps and help get her up. She will make the sign for sleeping and put her finger to her mouth when I say we need to be quite because Baylee is sleeping. I think this is great practice for her new brother or sister!
It's really hard to get a good picture of BOTH of them looking . . . these were the best!
