LAUGHING!!!

Finally! Our friend Lindsay (Aunt Lindsay) was over and was holding Amalea while Robin and I ate dinner... and all of the sudden Amalea lets out this precious sound! Enjoy!

SNOW

Here are a few pictures from our weekend in Mammoth. Amalea did really well - I wouldn't say she exactly "liked" the snow - it was more like she was confused and amazed by it. She definitely didn't like the 60 mph winds that blew the snow in her face, but other than that she seemed to enjoy the weekend.Our family :-)

Miss Grumpy Pants

Amalea was so grumpy last night. I don't really blame her though... we've kind of been really busy the last three or four days and she seems to have gotten a little cough and is getting to bed later then she is used to... but despite the grumpy pants she's wearing, she's still cute as ever! Here are some new pics.




And a great video of Amalea lifting her head...

A few of my favorite things

Amalea is becoming more playful everyday. She is beginning to develop her own little personality and it is so fun to watch. Below are some pictures of things she loves to do. Amalea does surprisingly well being on her tummy. She is starting to get really strong and is able to hold her head up. This picture also shows one of her most favorite times of the day - naked time. She loves the freedom of no clothes.
A majority of Amalea's day is spent with at least one hand in her mouth. If she could fit her whole fist in I am sure she would. She loves to suck on things and puts everything in her mouth - usually the easiest and most convenient thing is her own fist.
Someone I work with gave Amalea this toy and she just got big enough to use it and she absolutely loves it. She has always been an active child so this toy is great. She is learning to use her legs and she gets to play. The second we put her in the excersaucer she lights up with a big smile.
