My 17 month old big girl!
Amelia is continuing to grow up too fast! Here is what she is up to now:
- Little Helper: she loves to help throw away any trash; likes to help bake and cook- although her idea of helping is playing with the measuring cups and spoons :)
- Little Climber- she now figured out how to push the dining room chairs around the kitchen to reach things on the counter tops and the island; she will also push her chair or even sturdy toys and climb up on them to play or reach things up high
- Eating: Amelia can eat applesauce and yogurt out of a bowl with a spoon by herself- it's very messy still! She will hand me the spoon when it gets near the bottom so I can scoop up the food and then she takes the spoon back and feeds herself; She LOVES using a fork to eat most things- especially mac-n-cheese! She has started wanting to take bites out of bigger portions- before she would not take a bite from a sandwich or piece of pizza- I always cut it up for her; now she is starting to prefer the larger pieces and holding it up and taking her own bites out of it
- Amelia loves to put on clothes now- she will pull clothes out of her drawers and try to put on her shorts or pajama bottoms. She loves to take OFF her shoes- she still loves shoes but she has a fascination with taking them off
- Coloring: Amelia has really started to like coloring; I bought her 2 very simple coloring books of her favorite animals- doggies and kitty's
- Peek-a-boo- Amelia's word for peek-a-boo is "ishee"- I'm pretty sure she came up with that because Daddy always says "I see You" to her when they play. She absolutely loves to play peek-a-boo!
- Daddy's Little Girl- lately she has been preferring Daddy over Mommy in the evenings. She wants all of his attention and he just can't resist when she holds up her little hands to him :)
Reading Bible story book with Daddy- right after he broke his foot
- Sick- Amelia had her first true sickness; She was running a fever of 102 for several days and the doctor determined it was Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. She only had a few sores in her mouth- luckily none showed up on her hands or feet. After three or four rough days she was back to normal!
- New Words: monkey, dogs are now dodo's (she used to say doggie), yogurt (sounds like "yee"), two, down, whoa & row (sound almost the same)
- In addition to all the other body parts she knows- she can now point to her knees and teeth
I just love the pigtails- they don't stay in very well yet but I think are so adorable! :)
