Elsa and Amelia sharing a hug at the zoo.
Amelia and Ivey checking out the iguanas.
A little sidewalk chalk with GiGi.
So excited to go to the pool with Daddy.
Warm and sunny spring evening on a blanket in the grass.Amelia is 19 months today. Hard to believe in just 5 short months she'll be 2. She had her 18 months well visit this past week. Happy to report all is well and she did great. She is a healthy toddler top to bottom. She did cry the entire time we were there...beginning in the parking lot. I think we have a bit of a reputation at the office now. :) She is 24 lbs and 12 oz which puts her in the 60th percentile for weight. She is 32.5 inches tall...75th percentile for height and her head is 49 cm...97th percentile. :) Yes, overall the visit was a bit stressful, but as promised mid doctor visit we took her out for a pizzie when it was all over. She ate almost 2 pieces and seemed to forget about how upset she was and even hi-fived us when we told her how brave she had been. Poor little nugget.
Some new things in our world. Amelia has started calling herself "Mimi" as this is what her little friend Elsa across the street has stated calling her. Admittedly Amelia is a tough one for the little ones to say. Where before when Amelia would try to verbalize when she wanted something or related herself to something going on around her, she would point to herself, eyebrows raised, and make kind of a questioning high-pitched "mm?" Now it's pointing at herself while asking, "Mimi? Mimi?" As if to say, "can I have some of that?" or "it's my turn?" or "i have one of those too?" It's pretty cute actually.
She has also started calling me "mommy" instead of "mama." It's bittersweet in a way since she's been saying mama since she was a wee one. Lots of new words, even tougher ones like "bookstore" and "outside." She likes to point out when people have on "jeans," which is interesting to me since she hardly ever wears them and I don't recall talking about them extensively at any point. She is intrigued by Smokey the Bear on the back of her Little Golden Books as he wears jeans...no shirt or shoes mind you but he does wear a hat and he carries a shovel. It is a little odd, can't blame her for wondering.
Oh, and tonight after her bath, she ran her little naked self down the hall and into the kitchen to see Ford who was doing the dishes. I stayed behind to clean up the bathroom and after a few minutes I heard..."OH, YUP, that's your poop, don't step in it." I walked in to find Amelia had pooped on the kitchen floor. A first...only took 19 months.
