Diving

Last semester Amelia was taught to raise her arms as if she were diving into the pool. She's now doing this but she's having a hard time "diving" in standing up, so we are just practicing the sitting dives. She's doing great and as always is loving the classes!

Cowgirl in the Making

We took Amelia to the Fort Worth Stock show for the 2nd year in a row. Last year she was only 3 months old and this time she was 15 months old. We took her to the petting zoo and then we went to see Iceman! He's covered up because the stalls were a bit chilly for him. We saw Bruce give him a horse "pedicure" it was fun! Unfortunately, we didn't see him compete.

Swimming Without Momma

So here is the first time that Amelia and her classmates are without parents in the pool. Luckily, no one cried. I'm sure if one cries the others will join in! They are all so cute! Amelia is the one in the blue bathing suit and goggles.

First Pedicure

So Rick gave Amelia her first pedicure at the jewelry party. She sat still and he even put a flower on her big toes! She's so funny when we got home I asked Matt to wait a second before he took her out of her carseat. I asked her "will you show dad what you got?" I asked her again "Can you show your dad what you got?" and she lifted her foot up to show Matt her freshly painted toes! hehe! They are purple with glitter.

Snow Day!

Today my intentions were good......go to work! I was planning on getting on the road early but then thought "IF Penney doesn't show up then what will Matt do?" He had an interview scheduled for 10:30, had to get on the road early so he wouldn't be late. So I decided to stay and wait for Penney. Penney couldn't get her car doors open so she couldn't come. It's now 2:15 in the afternoon and I haven't heard from Matt. It's almost been a 4 hour interview! Here is what Amelia and Millie were doing this morning....Millie wanted to go out but the door was frozen shut and Amelia was just looking at the snow through Millie's dog window.

The Sweetest Hugs

By far the sweetest hugs and kisses I've received are from Amelia! Her hugs are the sweetest ever! On Saturday night Amelia wasn't feeling well so we let her sleep with us. She woke up on Sunday morning, I pretended to be asleep so I watched her as she sat up and reached over hugged Matt and gave him a kiss on his cheek then she came to me and kissed my cheek. It was the sweetest thing. Over the weekend she was just being a super sweetheart! Here she is hugging on Matt.

Horse Visit

We took Amelia over to the Giles during our Christmas break! I was excited to see how she'd react to the miniature horses and she was just indifferent. (Note that these horses are pretty much full grown). She liked looking at all the different ones. Trish and Bruce also got her a rocking horse for Christmas that she really enjoys rocking in but is too short to climb it, but I'm sure she will in time!

We went to her 15 month check up yesterday and she's measuring great! Her weight is in the 50th, her height is in the 90th and her head ........100th!
