This cute face is what I get when I tell Amelia to smile. I lalalove it!
Naked girl with your naked baby. For some strange reason you don't like your dolls to be clothed. You are always carrying them around bare.
You and I, we're pretty good buddies these days.
You are so so much fun right now! You also seem to test me more than before. You are so close to talking in sentences. I'm sure your just trying to get your thoughts across, but it seems to lead to more meltdowns than normal. Thankfully you haven't learned to say no, hit or kick me. I'm grateful that you are a sweet girl. You give hugs and kisses to everyone without being asked. You love to watch Dora, Mickey, Little Bear and Beauty and the Beast. You sit still for the entire movie of Beauty and the Beast. I think you like the music. When the Dora "We Did It" song comes on, you get up and dance around. You are a night owl. We put you to bed about 8:30-9:00 each night and you stay up in your bed playing for another hour. You also sleep in until 8:30 or 9:00 every morning. If we keep you out late, you don't get sleepy or cranky. You just stay your happy self. In fact, the only times you aren't really happy is when you don't get candy (which is pretty much all the time), can't play in Dad's truck, when you can't go into the gym, and when people don't say bye to you. You get very upset if someone leaves without acknowledging you. You love to dance with Alyssa. I can hardly wait to enroll you for classes in January. You are so advanced in your motor skills. Seriously, you can keep up with the 3 year old classes no problem! You love to climb on everything. You will climb the spiral towers at the park all by yourself. You feed yourself very well and don't like to be fed. You love cats and dogs. One of your favorite things to do is walk Grandma and Papa's dogs around the block. You like to play house with Mr.Tux, you lay him down, cover him with blankets and give him your sippy cup. Speaking of that dang sippy. You love it. You won't sleep without it. You only allow milk at night time. This is your only comfort/habit and it's going to be tuff to break. You only have 32 more days. After you're 2...it's water only. I'm trying to psych myself up for it because I know we're going to have some long nights. You love to skype. You seem so intrigued by seeing people and talking to them through the computer. You have started to go potty on the toilet. If I was dedicated enough I'm SURE you could be potty trained. You go every single time I put you on the toilet. You actually love to cuddle, especially on the couch. You LOVE to eat. It's your favorite thing to do. When it's time for prayer, you fold your arms, smile and squint your eyes, then you look around at everyone. When I ask you how old you are, you say 2, apparently you've been 2 for about 6 months already. After you've seen me sew you a dress or skirt and I try it on you, you say "ohhhh, pretty" and you twirl around. I love it. You LOVE your swim class with Coach Suzi. You are an amazing back floater. I'm been very impressed that so much can be learned in water at such a young age. You really like me lately. I mean, your crazy about your Dad, but you seem to be favoring me a bit too...finally!!!! The older you get the more excited I become to see you grow and change. You are quite incredible Amelia Dawn.
