Amelia's "Pretty"

One of my friends is making these bows. Amelia is modeling them for her. If you'd like to purchase one, I'll give you her contact number. She does custom barretts.

Not Happy

Someone wasn't happy with me when I put her down for "night night" (bed). This was taken in the rental house.

Amelia walking video

So Amelia is well on her way with walking. I caught this video last night of her walking in the house. Enjoy. Will try to catch her in the act again. However, I do believe she's enjoying her house. She loves scaling the stairs, getting into her tupperware drawer and loves her room. Tonight, I was reading her the "Are you my mother?" book and when I got to the last page, she pointed to the mural on her wall. Priceless gang, just priceless!



More to come... as I have a whole bunch of pictures and video to post!

P.S. yes, her hair is starting to curl.

We're walking!

What a huge day! Amelia is officially a walker. She took 5 big girl steps today. Three trying to get to mommy and two trying to walk to Daddy. The set up... Daddy was eating an apple and Amelia loves to eat apples. As Daddy was finishing up the apple, I asked if I could feed her some. I used the apple to get Amelia to walk to me... and low and behold, she took three solid steps before she held on to my legs. It was truly amazing. Daddy did the same thing and Amelia took two steps before holding on to Daddy's legs. Our little girl is growing up. I am so happy that she did it in our house and not the rental. I just knew she was waiting to get into her home to walk. :) Good times!

Hip Hip Hooray

We.Are.In.Our.New.Old.House. Waking up in the house was devine. Going up and down our old stairs simply marvelous. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Not to mention, I got a great deal on our cable/internet/phone package. We get it all for $119 for two years, plus HBO for two years and DVR for a year. Much better than the package they first offered us. I asked to speak to "loyalty" or "retention" because Verizon's FIOS is in our area. They better make us a good deal. Hee hee hee! Oh, did I mention that our house has air conditioning? It's gonna be a hot one today.

So, Amelia got to sleep in her own room last night in the pack and play. I wouldn't say it was a restful night's sleep. She would whimper in her sleep quite a lot. I guess it's gonna take some time to get used to the new surroundings. In any case, love the house. Will post pictures once things are situated.

Moving date?

Hopefully Amelia can hold off on walking for another week. Looks like our moving date into the new "old" house will be sometime in the last week of July. Woo hoo! However, that may be pushed back if the insurance company doesn't pay the movers for moving us out and storing our stuff. So our stuff is being held ransom. Ugh! Other than that... nothing much new. It's hot here and the house still doesn't have A/C no matter how hard I wish for A/C in the rental or pray. :)

I got a boozer!

We thought Amelia left the bottle stage behind...

Apparently, we were wrong. She's picked up the bottle habit again. What is that darn Becky teaching her during the day? ;)
