Swimming

Dear Amelia -

Friday night we just hung around for the night. You laughed and we laughed with you.

Well, you hated your first swimming lessons! We sang songs and swam around a bit. You clung on to me for dear life.
Saturday night, mommy went to the grocery store where they asked if I was on food stamps. Which was good for a laugh and a complaint email to Driscolls.

Sunday, we watched the VIKINGS rock the Cowboys! Next up is New Orleans! WOO HOO!! Lets hope they pull out a big win!

Today you are hanging out with Daddy. Grandma Kiki is going to come over for a couple of hours to watch you while Daddy takes Norman to the vet for the stinky ear he’s had for a few months (Daddy was being stubborn and thinking he could fix it himself!)

Tomorrow you are going to Kari and Katie’s daycare for the first time. I hope you like it there because you will start going there full time next week!

Love,
Mom

New Hobby

Dear Amelia -
You have had the giggles the last few days! You love to be tickled!

You have also picked up a new hobby. I don’t know where you would learn something like this....
We have such a fun day tomorrow!! Your first SWIMMING LESSONS!!! I can’t wait to get you in the water. Lets hope you love to swim as much as I do. Other than that, we don’t have much planned. Daddy works all weekend! Sunday, is the big VIKINGS vs Dallas (booo) game! Lets hope they pull out a big win.

Love,
Mom

Words

Dear Amelia -

You are saying so many words these days.

I read on my babycenter weekly email that early talkers say up to 20 words. Lets share all of the wonderful words you can say:

Daddy, Mommy, Doggy, Norman (Morman,) Sock, Shoe, Buh-Bye, Hi, Uh-Oh, Kiki, Glamma, Aubby and Baby. I think that's it. You also do a lot of gibber-gabber. Its so fun when you say new words! Yesterday on our way to daycare, you were pointing and looking at your feet going "Shoe", you were not pleased with me that I didn't put any shoes on you.

We have decided to put you in daycare 4 days a week starting in 2 weeks so this is one of the last times you'll be with Aunty Aubby for the day! Hope you are behaving!

Love,

Mom

Jam Jam's

Dear Amelia -

We didn't do too much this weekend. Friday night, Awesome Uncle Aldo was in town so we went over to Glamma and Cookies for dinner and were home by your bed time.

Saturday, we hung out all day and waited for Daddy to get home from work. Once he got home, you and Daddy went back to Glamma and Cookies for a sleepover and I went over to Lindsay's for an old fashion sleepover!

Sunday, we didn't get out of our jam jam's once. Even you. It was awesome.

Daddy went to the movie Avatar with Aubby and Uncle Doodie. He said it was awesome!!

Tonight, we are going to meet with a new daycare provider. We need something a little more in our budget. Hope we like her!!

Love,

Mom

PS - American Idol starts tomorrow! WOO HOO!!!

Funny Everything

Dear Amelia -

Not much to report over the last day but you think EVERYTHING is funny these days. Being scared gets funnier every time...

Norman is funny, Daddy, Mommy...everyone! Its so fun :)

We don't have much plan this weekend. Tomorrow, if you are not in the middle of your nap, we are going to meet Shelly, Holly and their girls at the Park Tavern for a little bowling. We will be watching but it will be fun to catch up with them! Lindsay is in town so we might hang with her for a bit too! Daddy works on Saturday. Sunday, he is going to see Avatar with Aunty Auby and Uncle Doodie.

Love,

Mom

Tru Dat!

Dear Amelia -

Tru dat = True that. Daddy and I say that saying about 100 times a day. I'm annoyed by it but can't stop! Will it be the saying of the year? Last years saying was "OMG".

Yesterday, Uncle Billy left for his 6 month deployment. I'm so proud of him and his wife for being so strong to be able to be apart for 6 months. You and Mommy are going to make a trip out to Virginia Beach in Feb to visit Pam and Jax.

Love,

Mom

New Year!

Dear Amelia -

Brrr! Its freezing outside! -11!! I had an empty tank of gas this morning so I had to fill up. I can't feel my feet!

We had another fun weekend! On New Years Eve, you went up to the Millers cabin with Glamma, Cookie and the Millers! You had a fun time with your boyfriend Finn! Daddy and I went to Sarah and Justins for a party. New Years Day, we had Dirks Christmas Re-Do. Fun times! Saturday - You took a bath and looked extra adorable when you got out. I wrapped you up in the new kitty towel that you got from Glamma and Cookie for Xmas.

Saturday night, Mommy went out with the Miller clan for dinner and to 2 birthday parties! It was so fun. I wish Meghann, Wes and Finn lived in town!
Sunday, Daddy worked so we watched the Vikings WIN at Glamma and Cookies. Here are you and Emo watchin the game.
You have been talking so much lately. Your favorite word is: Auby, after your aunty Aubrey. You also said: Norman, Glamma and Cookie over the weekend!

Love,

Mom
