Micah spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa last Friday night and they took him to Build-a-Bear for his birthday. He picked out a monkey and got to put the heart in and all that. He had a blast. He knew he was going to do this for his birthday, so everytime we went to the mall he had to go in the store and look at all the choices he had. On Sunday we had his party at the other grandma and grandpa's house. It was very fun too. Micah loved opening his gifts. He especially loved the "previously loved" rescue heroes that he got from his cousins. I tell ya, that's the way to go. Give him gifts that have already been used and you know they are good toys! Amelia practiced walking some more and finally walks without prompting or bribing. Can you believe it? She's ONLY 17 months!
Here they are with the cousins on Ryan's side.
Sometime during the night on Sunday, Amelia got sick in her bed. When Ryan finally woke her up the next morning (7:30) it was crusted to her hair. I felt so bad that we didn't hear her. Ryan was home with them on Monday, I stayed home tuesday, Ryan stayed home today, and I'm taking my half-day tomorrow off as well. On Tuesday afternoon Amelia seemed like she was feeling a lot better and then it happened. It was one of those, "You know you're a parent when..." moments. We were at the table eating dinner when everything she had eaten during the day came back up. I took her upstairs to have a bath while Ryan cleaned up the kitchen. We came back down, got her jammies on and sat right back down to finish dinner. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have been able to do that. We still ate it, eventhough the taco salad looked surprisingly similar to ... you know. No! the puke.
Amelia is communicating even more these days. She shakes her head and says no when she doesn't want something and gets really excited when she does. I caught this fun video of her tonight telling me what she likes.
Not to be outdone, Micah wanted to make a movie too. Can you say, craving attention?
