Amelia says "hi"

Amelia decided to say her first word this week: Hi! She says it and waves at you. It's so cute! She's crawling everywhere and into everything now. All doors are shut on the main level and if she's not underfoot, she's crawled off to see the sights in another room. Always exploring. She loves to make her way to the bathroom!


I think all the crawling she's been doing has worn her out, for she's slept so wonderfully this week! When she is tired, she whines a little so we know it's time for her to go to bed. I've never seen a baby so excited to be put to bed as Amelia is when she's tired. She'll start giggling and kicking her legs. We give her a pacifier and tuck a blanket over her. She pulls her blanket up to her nose and that's all there is to bedtime! Easy!

Mira has taken an interest in exercising with me lately. She'll do a little kickboxing DVD with me, then roll herself up in my floor mat. Makes it hard for me to use!


I saw some cool rain boots at Target.com a couple of weeks ago. They had about 80 choices, so I finally narrowed it down to these cool green apple boots! I take the bus to work 3 days a week, so knowing my feet will be dry this spring and summer is nice! Mira took the time from her busy schedule to model them for me.


Hope you are all having a good March. Spring is almost here. Can you feel it?

"HI Mira!"

Michelle, I LOVE those boots. I was just thinking that I needed some rain boots to protect me from all of Ava's puddle jumping!

I'm so glad you chose those! They were my favorite.

You inspired me to order my own pair. They're boring black, though. Since I have a bright yellow purse, a patterned spring coat, a kelly green sleeveless puffer... I figured my feet should play it safe. At least they'll do what I want them to do! My morning walk to the bus stop is crammed with deep puddles, icky slush, and mud.

By the way, I love reading about your super cute kids, it's a nice break at work. :)
