Wee Read

I took Amelia to the “Wee Read” at Adams Memorial Library today. At first, I was a little worried that she would be pitching a fit the whole time. 17 month olds tend to have short attention spans...

She absolutely LOVED it! There were other girls her age there, and they sang and danced the whole time. Oh, she was a ham for attention. When we began to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider, she got in the middle of the circle and “performed”. I wish I could have gotten more pictures, but I didn’t want to make the other moms feel uncomfortable.

Southerners in the North

Well, we up and moved to PA for my husband’s job. Never even seen more than 2 inches of snow in GA, so this should be different. In the month that we have been here, it has only snowed twice. The people from here keep saying “just wait, this is very mild”. The first time it flurried here, we ran around in it like we had never seen snow in our lives.

The second time it snowed, we were able to take Amelia sledding for a bit. She LOVED it and cried when we had to get back into the car. Now every time she sees the sled, she wants to ride on it. I think we may have a future Hannah Teter on our hands!

14 Months

                      Our little girl is 14 months old and it seems like she was born yesterday.  She has the cutest personality and can make anybody smile. 

            Here are a few words that she can say:

Milk

NahNah (aka ~ her binky)

Dada

Mama

Durt Dog

Turtle

Cow

Fish

Door

Outside

No no (with her finger pointing in the air)

Book

Bye

Hey

Hola

Minnie Mouse

Duck

Nose

Toe

Mouth

Elmo

Love

            She can say a few names too.  I really believe she can understand almost everything I say.  She likes for me to give her a “chore” such as putting up toys or closing doors.  Next step: washing the clothes and putting them away.

            Like her Daddy, she loves making music.  Sometimes she will sit for 30 minutes straight (which is like an hour in baby time) making different “beats” with her toy piano.
