Terrific Thursday!!

Some fun random pictures from last weekend!

A bit of a diva moment, post-haircut. Yes, she is wearing a crown and holding her balloon prize:


Ah... much more innocent looking:

Hugging her favorite kitty in the whole world, Penny:

Playing with Daddy:

She put her hand up this box of Special K box to make something like a hand puppet (excellent choice of cereal, Grandpa Tom would say!):

Coloring Grandparents Day cards [I promise, I bought them over a week ago... but we forgot to send them until the weekend! Oops!]:

Amelia looooves coloring. This is something she definitely picked up at her Sitter's house. Every week, she comes home with a new project that she worked very hard on.

At home, she likes to grab a coloring book and get the crayons out on her own. Now if only we could trust her to color nicely, without coloring things that shouldn't be colored or nibbling on the tops of her crayons!!

This past week, we discovered that Amelia really knows her numbers! She'd been doing 1-2-3 for a little while now. So one night I kept going, and so did she! I said 1-2-3-4-5-6-7... and she (out of the blue) said 8-9 unprompted! And we went back through and she did 5-6 right where they belonged in the order. The only numbers that she just won't say are 4 and 7.

Tonight we had a guy over giving us an estimate on getting Amelia's bathroom fixed up. The guy was showing us how a certain thing worked and it was a 3 or 4 step process. Amelia was walking by when she heard him say "1" and she immediately helped him out by saying "2", and just kept on walking. It was really funny!
