Feather Head!

Just a random picture of Amelia with a handmade headband from El Salvador.

Three Years, 12 days and going......

Matt and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on May 12th. He had a great idea of going to the zoo. So I took the day off and we spent the whole day at the zoo! It was soooo great!!! We had a great time! We've been doing a lot of family stuff on the weekends, been great. We are even planning a mini vacation! YAY! Stay tuned for the vacation pics!

Grabby

So I may randomly add pics on here because I'm trying out new things with my camera. Of Course my goal is to get better at portraits but seems as though I need to start off with objects. Here is a picture of Amelia doing what she does best right now....GRAB GRAB GRAB!

My Gift

Matt decided to make a handprint and footprint of Amelia as my mother's day gift. He didn't have a way to surprise me so he told me, I asked him to do it on Mother's day so him and Amelia worked on this after our lunch. Matt grilled, we had Rosemary come over and she also brought a delicious Mocha Rum Cake http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/. She said the cake was pretty easy to make.

Matt's Goal

Matt's goal with Amelia is to find a new way to make her belly laugh. He tries one thing and it is the funniest thing ever for her, he calls me to come see, I show up and by that time it's no longer funny.

Pet Psychic

Over the past weekend we were busy with bowling, FidoFest, swimming and Mayfest. Matt beat us all, he sure was proud of his strikes! HEHE! On Saturday, Amelia went to swim class and is now at 7 seconds underwater! She's doing so well! We then went to FidoFest with the fear that Millie would act up, BUT suprisingly enough Millie was a perfect angel! We took Millie to the pet psychic and she told us that Millie still loves us. We asked about Millie's past so she closed her eyes, nodded her head and said "It's too sad, you won't want to know"....HMMM??? I can just IMAGINE what was going through Matt's head as he was listening to her! HEHE! We topped off the weekend with Mayfest. We weren't impressed, it was our first time and most likely our last time there.

The Donut Stacker

We decided to take Amelia to Target last week to buy her a "big girl" toy since she doesn't have any. Matt and I were showing her all the different toys, showing her the lights, sounds, music of all the different toys......at one point she just looked at us and just stuck her thumb in her mouth and looked away, so uninterested in what we showed her. Then I got this little donut stacker and Matt had a different toy, each of us held it out and she reached for the donut stacker. I was about to put it up when she started crying, we decided this was the one!

Attached pics are of today. Amelia will be 7 months this upcoming week! She's sitting up on her own and just chatting a ton!
