Amelia's First Hike!

...was 8/22/09! Got to write it down since I've given up hope on the baby book ever being completed.

It all about the cars

Piece One:
John coming from home is always a big deal around here. We dance, we clap, we cheer and no one more than William (most days).

Piece Two:
William is madly, deeply in love with all modes of transportation. Cars, buses, trains, trucks, airplanes, etc, etc, etc.

Piece Three:
William loves to be a helper most of the time. He loves to have real jobs to do and be acknowledged for the work he does.

The story:
John came home from work on Friday and William ran to the door to greet him, jumping up and down. John asked William if he would open the closet door so John could put away his shoes. William ran to the closet, ran back to John and took the shoes. He put them away on the shelf in the closet and turned to John "Is that a good parking spot for your shoes Daddy?"

Of course it is sweetie :)

Cutie

Can you do this?

No one is really sure what the book did to Amelia to get her going. We think she was trying to get it to open?

WOW Amelia!

Amelia's got all kinds of things happening with her right now!

Baby teeth

Baby pushups (if you look carefully, her belly is entirely off the ground)

Sweet baby cheeks. I could just kiss them all day... (in a dress from grandma!)

Evidence

You think these two are related?

Sprinkling Fun

These pictures are from July! Sorting pictures takes a long time - I guess I've been procrastinating!

Swimming Wrap Up

We've been busy. And sick. And a little crazy. Swimming lessons have been over for a few weeks now and I'm finally going through the pictures and video. I'll let the pictures/video do most of the talking...
