Drink

This picture takes a little explaining but it is one of Amelia's favorite things about her bath. Every night without fail Rufus waits patiently for Amelia to get settled into her bath. Then he wants his drink of water. While Rufus drinks Amelia moves in and inspects his claws and laughs at him. She also wants to drink from the cup but we keep the dirty baby bath water reserved for Rufus only. What a lucky dog!

Grass

Amelia had a great time discovering the grass in her backyard.

It doesn't take her long to be on the move in any new environment.

Auntie Lo

Thanks for letting me take Easter pics at your house Auntie Lo.

Easter Movie

Click here to view an Easter movie of Amelia with her duck (thanks Grandpa and Janet). She will show her newest trick - clapping. The sound is great - you will get to hear one of her most special sounds as she sings along. Play the movie through twice to see it at full speed.

Presents For Me

Grandma returned from NYC with some good loot for Amelia including a sushi bib which Amelia plans to sport the first time she eats sushi. She has been reading all about it. Aunt Alee sent Ice Bat "who lives in an ice cave inside an icebox. Anything he touches turns to ice…yet he warms your heart! Ice Bat is lookin’ to chill with you."

Spring Is Here

I was going to wait until Easter to post these but they are just too good. Amelia's cute outfit is courtesy of Mike & Lynn Evans (thanks guys). She enjoyed a beautiful spring day at Auntie Lo and Uncle Al's.


She was intrigued with the Easter eggs and will be hot on the egg hunting trail next year. Watch out Easter Bunny!

The Artist Formerly Known As Amelia

Amelia came home from school with her first picture today.

And here we see the artist posing with her work.

Jumbo Music Block

Amelia received a Neurosmith Jumbo Music Block from her Uncle Derek and Aunt Erica. This is no ordinary musical toy. It contains a powerful speaker that plays the full harmonic range of nursery rhymes. It also allows you to change cartridges and play different songs. As you can see it keeps her quite busy. Thanks guys.

Grandpa Jim

Amelia had a visit from Grandpa Jim, Nana Janice and the little ants (sic) Brandi and Sabrina. Here Amelia holds her favorite thing of all time, her very own remote control. She became so obsessed with the remote that we gave her one. Just try taking it away and let the screaming begin.

Caged In

This picture was taken a few weeks ago - before she learned how to stand up. Now she would never be caught in such a stance.

Stand Up

Amelia is pretty pleased with herself. She has the whole pulling up and standing thing down. Once she gets up she is not real sure what to do. Shortly after this picture was taken she collapsed to the floor of her pack & play (unharmed but confused).

New Movie

Click here to view Amelia on the move in a big way. What was she after you might wonder? The TV remote of course. Those of you at work might want to mute sound before viewing.

Peek-A-Boo

Amelia loves to play peek-a-boo.

Here she and her teeth are.
PS: She is still not sleeping and is currently taking a cocktail of 4-5 over the counter and prescription medications.

Sleep Terrorist Teeth

These little razors have become more pronounced. If you get close enough she will probably try and take a chunk out of you. The teeth will be making another appearance later in the week. Stay tuned.

BTW: She got over pink eye and but has relapsed and infected dad. She has also become an expert sleep terrorist - striking fear into the hearts and minds of moms and dads everywhere who just want a solid 8 ... no 6 ... ok anything more than 3 hours of sleep a night. The world is just so new and they days are so short. Why waste time sleeping.
