A's Antics

Since deciding to view the world from a seated position, Miss Amelia has taken a bit of a pause on her motor skills and has started to focus on her cognitive and social skills. Don't be fooled though, this lil lady continues to be a squirmy wormy and it won't be long before she starts crawling!

As of day one, this girl has never known a stranger; however, she is starting to recognize them! You can see it on her face as new people approach her that she just isn't quite sure. If she is in her Mommy or Daddy's arms, she now hugs in toward us, looks back and usually give a smile, which is pretty sweet.

Amelia is starting to really come into her own personality and sharing her opinion on likes and dislikes.....if you take a toy away from her and she doesn't want you to.....she tells you about it now! And if Amelia wants you, she will reach for us, which its always is fun to be the one she is leaning towards.

Today, Amelia figured out how to break apart her loop tee loos. She was pretty proud of herself and of course, when she would pull with all of her might and they wouldn't break apart - she expressed her frustration! ....but then kept trying :)

Over the past week Amelia has been fighting a cold and has figured out a couple of things....how to rub her eyes and wipe her nose with the back of her hand. And as she was trying to go to sleep, she was gnawing on her thumb.

Play-wise, Amelia has become a pro at peek-a-boo. She will pull a towel away from her face, from my face, and from a toy! She's got it figured out!

And last but not least, the other night Amelia provided me and Daddy too, with her first big, sloppy, open mouth, tongue sticking out, drool pouring out kiss! And it was the most wonderful thing in the world!
