Amelia

I haven't written about her in a while. She is talking (and repeating) so much more these days. She answers yah or no to everything (she used to just shake her head). For example: She'll take some bowls out of the drawer and I'll say, "Oh, go put them back." and she'll say, "no."

Elmo:
The other day I was getting ready to change her diaper and she was holding one, so I said, "Who's on your diaper?" Clear as day she said, "Elmo." I said, "Yeah! That's right. Good job honey!" Then she brought it to me to put on her and I looked and it was cookie monster.

Boxes:
Amelia loves to climb into any boxes. The other day, she was climbing into the top of a puzzle box (4in. x 4 in.). She got both feet in and then tried to sit down (like an elephant sitting on a folding chair). She lost her balance and took a face-plant onto the kitchen floor. She had a big goose-egg on her head the rest of the day.

Yesterday, we were at some friends' house who have two cats. Amelia LOVES the cats. She'll lay down on the floor with her hands on her cheeks and just stare at them. Well, she picked one of the cats up and put it into a box that was there.

Growling:
Somehow, Amelia picked up growling. She growls at everything. If she sees an animal, she growls. If she's wrestling, she growls. If she's excited that we're going to McDonalds, she growls and screams at the same time.

Baby:
She loves her baby. Her baby does everything Amelia does. Baby needs her diaper changed. Baby has a binkie. Baby goes to bed many times a day. Baby even drinks Amelia's milk and eats the granola bars that Amelia gets out of the cupboard.

Just a little update on Amelia.
