3 new Amelia developments...1. Wearing her first pair of real shoes (other than her Robeez) - You should have seen her walking in them...she looked like she was marching and lifted her feet up so high!
2. Taking her own shirt off over her head
3. Deciding to have a blankie - After I quit nursing her, I kept my fingers crossed that she'd easily find something else to calm her. Boy was I thrilled to have her pick up the small comfy blanket that I received when she was just brand new (thanks Emily!) to tuck around her in her infant seat. Last weekend, I was cleaning out her dresser drawer to make way for the SUPER cute summer clothes (gotta love shopping for a little girl!) to pack away the burpies and small blankets. She picked it up off the floor and has rarely set it down since. She snuggles right up with it and nods off to sleep! We couldn't ask for an easier transition, and I'm thrilled that the blankie she chose is small enough to fit in my purse! We've already asked Emily to make us a second one...for those emergencies that we can't forsee!
Spring break is officially here for Carter and Mommy! We spent the first day at the Shrine Circus. Daddy is off on Fridays so it was great to all go together! I never thought I'd see a giant Shriner hat with legs in my life...I guess I can check that one off my list!
I'm pretty sure that Amelia ate half this bag of cheesy popcorn! Both Daddy and daughter left with orange fingers!
A slushy and a alien blaster that makes the loudest and screechiest noise that the human ear can pick up...what more could a guy ask for?!
Carrol (our wonderful daycare mom) found these Princess Coupe cars for Amelia and Addi. What we thought would be a quick 15 minute put together (ending in enough time for the family to go for a walk and enjoy the spring-like weather) actually ended up being a 2 hour endeavor. Thanks for the perservance Daddy; Amelia loves her car!
During the 2 hour put together, Carter and Amelia had more fun with this box than I can even describe! Amelia thought it was so silly to crawl inside and giggle, and Carter walked all over the house with it on his head so that all we could see was his feet. Although, when I came out of the bathroom after giving Amelia a bath and saw him sawing away at the sides with a sharp knife (trying to cut out eyes), I couldn't hold back the holler. Poor kid...Mom ruins all the fun. But, it's all fun and games until someone cuts a finger off, Daddy!
I wish my Grandma Rose could see this! She loved those punch ball balloons, and I remember her buying them for me all the time when I was a child. We've had these two balloons around the house since fall, and today was the day that Carter tried to beat his punching record and Amelia really caught on to how to punch! Such fun!
"Thanks Nana and Papa for my ride on toy!" Carter pushed her in circles all around the house so many times! She'd toot the horn as she rode by and gave a little backwards "bye bye" wave (the kind where her hand bends toward herself instead of away...but that's how she sees everyone wave bye bye to her, so we can't blame her). The instant he stopped pushing her, she screamed! In 1 day's time, however, she learned to mount and dismount the car herself, push along and do her own peddling in the kitchen on the tile floor, and push the car alongside the couch so that she can climb on top of it and up onto the couch. And, all the while, the car plays Disney princess music!
Carter is the best brother and son in the entire world! He's the first to hear Amelia when she wakes up in the morning, rushes into her bedroom, and takes her out of her crib. He carries her into the living room to watch cartoons. This is the first I saw of both of them this morning...how special and sweet! I suppose he'll start charging a babysitting fee soon!
