Happenings this week

I've been a bum about blogging lately. Lots going on, none of it super exciting. Here are a few photos from this past week.

Amelia is starting to take steps more and more frequently. While crawling is her preferred way of getting around, she is attempting 3-5 steps more often. It's so cute to see her toddling! We think she was busy learning to talk and growing teeth, so walking took a backseat. Amelia is up to about 20 understandable words, and can repeat a lot of what we say. She added "love you" to her vocabulary recently. So precious!


Here's a photo of me and the girls on the porch. It seems like I forget to get photos of me with them, so that's something we'll have to work on. The matching dresses were birthday gifts from Aunt Debbie. I hadn't gotten pictures of them in the dresses before. Thanks, Deb!


Chris has a business contact who sent us a mushroom playhouse (www.bazoongi.com/, click on "Play Structures"). It is so cute and the girls really love it!



And Amelia's favorite toy is not anything from Christmas or her birthday. Oh no. This little one loves to play with the remote for the television. We've tried to give her a different remote with no batteries, but she wants the one for the television. Fortunately, we can press a button on it and she can't switch the channel, but she's messed up many a viewing session anyway.


Hope you are all well! I leave for sunny (yet chilly!) San Francisco on Saturday until Tuesday. I'm sure Chris would love some homemade meals delivered and cleaning services during my time away. Or maybe just a phone call to see how he's doing with the kids!

love the pictures..thanks for one with the dresses. It's fun to see.
In the first pic, I had to do a double take...I thought it looked like Amelia had an IV attached...silly me--it's the electrical cord in the back ground.
UFF DA!
