Road Construction

I swear, every road I take is under construction. Now it looks like Amelia and I are going to have to hike to her daycare because both roads we take to get there are under construction and there is no parking. Half of the driveway is missing a chunk of concrete in front of it. Frustrating.

On a happier note, she is going to sleep much easier lately so we may be able to start looking at converting her crib to a bed. I haven't decided if that is a good idea or not.

Hi Baby

I realized today that whenever I open the back door of the car to take Amelia out of her seat I say "Hi Baby". Apparently Amelia has noticed, too. Each time I would open the door to get her out today, before I could say it to her she would look up at me, smile and say "Hi Baby". I told her "I am not your baby, you are my baby." She looks at me and point blank says "no". Then I asked if she wanted to walk, of course she did but we get to the lawn and she bends over and asks her baby doll "walk?" and puts the doll's feet on the ground and giggles. She is learning so much.

New Neighbors

It is official...we now know for a fact our neighbors have sold their house. They need to be out in September. Even though we don't know them well, we will miss them. I am a little sad that we didn't make an attempt to get to know them better. We are a little nervous about having different neighbors but are are hoping they will be good neighbors and maybe we will actually get to know these ones.

The love of her life

Who could a 1 1/2 year old possibly love more than her mommy and daddy (and nana and papa)? If you have kids you probably guessed it. Elmo. She not only obsesses over him daily but calls his name at night in her sleep. Sometimes it works to my advantage ("where's Elmo?" "He went nite-nite so we need to be quiet, okay?" "k. shhhh.") sometimes, not so much ("where's Elmo? ELMOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!). So, of course I jumped at the tickets for Sesame Street. I think it is time to meet my possible future in-law in person (or would it be "in monster?"). I am looking forward to seeing the way she reacts to him. I kind of see her being excited at a distance but if he happens to come close to her, I see her starting to be shy or even screaming. Like, a lot.

Either way, we are super-excited to be taking her. Can't wait!

New

I finally decided to start my own blog. I will be changing it a lot, I am sure. Bear with me because it will most likely not be witty but my plan is to begin "journaling" our life. Since it is getting late, I am going to start the actual journaling another time.
