Up to No Good

 Up to no good! Who? Me? No Way!

Don't I look innocent?

Hello

Amelia was watching her daddy work outside. I managed to distract her long enough for a picture.

Cousins

Amelia and Alli had a play date this weekend. Amelia is a little over 4 months older than Alli. In a few more months, they should really have a blast!

Thanks to Carrie for the photo that I totally stole from Facebook!

Quantity over Quality

The people have spoken. Instead of waiting for a good photo of Amelia, you just want more pictures. So, that is my new goal. 

 Being cute on a Sunday night.

Chillin' at daycare. She never listens when we say no feet on the table!

Super Fan

Hey Amelia! What do you think of the Hawkeyes?

We're going to Kick their heinies!

And we did. Thanks to our little super fan!

Things Amelia Loves

This is the last of the scheduled posts. Assuming this worked, I should do these more often. You get more updates and I only have to find an hour on one day of the week to set them up. It's a win-win for everyone.

 

Amelia is so much fun! She is quite the busy girl and always on the go. Here are some of the things she is loving at the moment:

Giving the dog his ball

Being chased and then caught and tickled

Crawling up the stairs as fast as possible

Pushing around her shopping cart and popper toy

Being upside down

Reading books

Baths

Playing the piano

Putting on mama or dada's shoes and trying to walk

Head, Shoulders......

Knees and toes, knees and toes.

Amelia loves that song, probably because I've been singing it to her since she was itty bitty.  She also really likes 'This little piggy went to market, this little piggy......'

She does a great job of pointing out her body parts when you ask where they are. We used to have to skip her nose because she would stick her finger up it. Now she's moved on to poking herself in the eye. Silly girl!

Body parts Amelia knows:
Head   Hair   Ears   Eyes   Nose   Mouth   Tummy   Toes

Sign Language

We've been working on sign language for Amelia since she was about 8-9 months old. She figured out 'milk' right away, but has been taking her time on some others. I think she has finally started to figure out that if she signs 'eat', she gets food. She gets really excited and starts laughing when she signs something and then gets the appropriate response.

Her signing vocabulary is still pretty small, but she's learning them much faster than before.

Amelia's Vocabulary

I realized that it has been quite awhile since I've updated everyone on all the amazing things Amelia can do now. So, I'm going to attempt to be fancy and schedule a few post updates over the next week. If it works, they should update every other day or so. Here goes...

Like her dress? I made it and think it is super cute. Rob says she looks like a clown. Not cool.

Amelia's vocabulary is exploding lately. She learns several new words a week. Her favorite words right now are mama and dog. Some of her new words are pretty advanced for a 14 month old, at least that's what I think. She is a baby genius though.

Mama   Dada   Dog   Hat   Ball   Shoe   Eight   Light   Bubble   Cat   Milk   Hi   Bye   Duck
Yellow   Red   No

If you ask her what a dog says, she says 'woof' and a snake says 'ssss'

Here's a video of her saying bubble. Her favorite show is Bubble Guppies and she's watching the intro. It's a little boring, but keep watching, she says it at the end.
