lah/lawp…ie yea/yup

June 29th, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia’s newest word is yea/yes/yep, but it often comes out sounding like lah or lawp.  We had a few conversations in the tub last night.  Enjoy!

Salsa!

June 29th, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia is a fool, serious glutton for punishment.  She insisted upon having a taste of Daddy’s “dip”…ie: hot salsa.

This is what greets me every morning…a smiling Amelia with really huge hair! She got it from her daddy.

Galveston - June 6, 2009

June 8th, 2009 by Kelley

We took Amelia down to Galveston on Saturday to check out the Sandcastle competition and play in the water.  She of course loved it because she could pour sand on herself and then dip her legs to get clean.  We went to visit with friends from my previous job and she of course made a mess of herself so I decided to dip her arms and legs in the water.  She of course decided to sit down and then lay on her belly in her clothes (bathing suit was in the car).  She searched for shells, played in the sand and tried to blow bubbles in the salt water until she realized how bad it tasted.  See the sippy cup addiction?  She even swam with her sippy cup in her mouth.  Crazy kid.

Because she wore her clothes in the water she spent the walk back to the car redneck style - wearing a diaper only.

As usual Amelia had no fear of the water or of making new friends.  I have videos and will post some soon!

Crayola was there with colored sand.  Amelia got this sand on her hand and as we were walking to the car she held up her hand and said “purple”.  I told you that my kid is wicked smart.

water baby

June 8th, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia is a freak for water, she just loves it.  We go swimming at mom and dad’s, we went to the beach on Saturday and yesterday we bought a little blow up pool for the backyard so she has more water here to play in.  She runs to the bathtub screaming “BATH” when it’s bath time.  She just loves it!

First Haircut

June 8th, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia was looking pretty shaggy so we took her for a bang trim and to have her mullet trimmed off.  Poor kid has had a comb over and now a mullet…what’s next a bowl cut?  She did really well thanks to the tv and the bubbles they had to entertain her.  The only time she cried was when they put the big cape on her, otherwise she just wiggled and tried to get away.  She looks like such a big girl now!

smile!

June 8th, 2009 by Kelley

You know what Amelia’s saying here?  “I’m smiling because I don’t have any pants on…but you can’t tell, can you?”

Amelia says…

June 7th, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia is just so adorable.  Dustin was tickling her like crazy last night and she was cackling and wiggling around trying to get away.  I guess it was too much because she finally said “daaaaddy!” crying out for mercy.  I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard.

worst mommy moment of the day

May 26th, 2009 by Kelley

So, Amelia made a mess of herself during lunch today (what else is new) so I changed her and laid her down for her nap.  She didn’t get up to watch me leave…that’s odd for her.  About an hour into her nap she was stirring and I just left her for a few to see if she’d go back to sleep, she did.

After sleeping for 2.5 hours I heard her stir and I went in to get her.  She was still laying down, but awake.  I thought it was crazy that she wasn’t standing waiting for me.  I went to pick her up and realized why she wasn’t standing…I had put both of her legs through the same hole on her jean shorts (jorts)…I had “mermaided” my child.

Is it bad that I really liked the fact that she couldn’t get up?  I know that’s awful, but she went to sleep faster and with less of a fight, perhaps I should sew all of her jammie legs together.

Sleepeating

May 21st, 2009 by Kelley

Amelia has never been a fantastic napper.  She won’t give in and nap when she’s tired, she’ll fight it to the very end.  Lately instead of falling to sleep laying down she’ll continue her present task until she can no longer stay awake, hence the sleepeating.  She’ll do in in her high chair and the car…(ignore the goofy mommy talking)

If you listen closely she says “baby” in the video…that’s because she knows that mommy’s cameras have babies in them.  Silly girl.

Enjoy…
