1..."tu"...3!

Dear Amelia -
Not much to write about today. The only thing I can think of that I forgot to mention on Monday’s blog is that I think you are counting. We always say to you “1...2...3!” and lately if we say “1...” you go “tu”. It could be my imagination but you are awfully smart so I wouldn’t put it past ya!!! Here are some cute pictures from the last few days...

Daddy said you INSISTED on wearing this!

Hi ya little cutie!

Texting

Up close!

Tonight we are going to dinner at Cooper to celebrate Jon Kuelz’s 30th birthday!

Love,
Mom

There she is...Miss Amelia!!

Dear Amelia -
Well, we did what we said we were going to do this weekend. Just hang. Friday, we stayed in and did nothing. Saturday, Daddy went to work. You and I went to swimming lessons where Glamma and Cookie met us. Cookie snapped some cute pictures of you that I’ll post once he puts them online. After swimming, we went out to lunch at Applebees. Once we got home, you took a nice long nap. By the time you woke up, Daddy was home! We went to Sam’s Club and Best Buy. Then we decided to go to the Gold Nugget. Its been revamped and was just as delish as the old place.

You went to bed shortly after we got home. Daddy and Mommy played a game with Aunty Pam on the PS3. At 8, I went down stairs to watch Miss America. Everytime I watch that show, I write down all 50 states and judge them 1-10 based on their looks. I also make a prediction on who I think is going to win. Then I predict who is going to make it to the top 15, top 10...and so on. I predicted that Puerto Rico was going to win but boy was I wrong...she didn’t even make it in the top 15. Virginia won, I gave her a 9. I liked her. Maybe someday we can “judge” together.

Sunday, Daddy went to work. In the afternoon, we became very bored so we went to Target for a few things. Daddy didn’t get home until 6 so it ended up being a very long day. You were CRABBY by 330 and wouldn’t go down for nap number two. Needless to say, I was very happy when Daddy walked in the door!!

Here you are watching a video of Jackson doing a summersault. You loved it.

Love,

Mom

Dear Amelia -

Ahhh! The meds worked! You are back to your normal, happy, good sleeping self! PHEW! It was a rough week for all of us!

Seems like you’ve been enjoying your new daycare! You’ve cried every day this week when I drop you off but I think that’s your age. They just love you there! They always compliment on how cute you are and you are so happy! Such a good babers :)

Here’s a few photos I took of you this morning...

Sad

Happy

Confused!

Tomorrow you are 15 months. YIPPIE!! You have swimming lessons in the morning which Kiki, Glamma and Cookie are going to attend! Daddy has to work this weekend so we are just going to hang all weekend and be good on our diets.

Love,
Mom

Ear Infection

Dear Amelia -

Sorry for the late post. We had a crazy day.

This morning, Daddy got up with you. We switch every other morning. On our way out the door to go to daycare, I gave you some medication. I dropped you off at daycare and warned Kari that you were a bit crabbier than usual. Once I got to work, I talked to Daddy. We compared notes....we found out that we both gave you medication. I called the nurse line right away and they said it was fine. While I had the nurse on the phone, I asked her about your cold symptoms. She thought it was best that we bring you in.

Once we were done with work, Daddy and I brought you to urgent care. Guess what...you had an ear infection! At least there was an explanition. So you are on meds and I hope it cures your sickness ASAP!

BYE! :)

Love,

Mom

Who Dat?

Dear Amelia -
Who dat? The saint dat. BOOO! We really thought we were going to the SUPERBOWL but no such luck. The Vikings out played the silly Saints but a win is a win and the Saint’s did just that. I think Kellee said it best via Facebook “Kellee Jaglo is extremely disappointed...not extremely surprised, but extremely disappointed! :’(“ For the record, the refs sucked.

Friday, Mommy went to meet baby Ryder while you and Daddy hung out. Ryder is so cute and calm. He didn’t cry once while I was there. You on the other hand haven’t been feeling well so you cried when I left to go see Ryder and when it was bed time. We ended up turning our monitor off in the middle of the night so you would not get use to us going in there every time you make a peep. Guess it worked because you pretty much slept thru the night Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday, We went to Swimming class which you LOVED this week! WOO HOO! You splashed and laughed. It was fun! Then when we got home, you took a 3 hour and 15 minute nap while Daddy went ice fishing!
Sunday, I drove you over to Glamma and Cookies so Daddy and I could get some serious cleaning done. The house is spic and span now! WOO HOO! Then we headed back over to the Colehours for the football games. You were such a good girl all day but around 645, you were so tired and all you wanted to do was sleep.

How cute is Norman?

Norman was over the game...

Last but not least, here you are doing your best impression of Norman.

Today you are home with Daddy. Hope you are behaving!!

Love,
Mom

Molars

Dear Amelia -
Molars. Ugh. They have made the last two nights miserable for you, Daddy and Mommy. You’ve been waking up 3-4 times a night screaming and nothing will calm you down. The only thing that we’ve found that works is bringing you into bed with us for about a half hour, then putting you back in your crib.

Today was suppose to be your last day at Laura’s but you were not feeling well so we didn’t send you. I went to her house this morning before work to drop off a check for her and pick up your sippy cups, food and diapers that we had over there. Next Tuesday, you start at Kari and Katie’s 4 days a week!

Tonight, you are staying home with Daddy while I go bring the Montoya’s some din din and to meet baby Ryder! Your new friend. He was born late Monday night. I can’t wait to meet him. I love his name!! Daddy does too since his nickname is “RyDir”. Cool nickname huh? I made it up :)

Tomorrow, back to swimming lessons. I hope you like them! Daddy doesn’t work all weekend so he’ll be joining us (not in the pool but to watch.) Then he’s going ice fishing with Justin for the rest of the day! Fun!

Sunday, a BIG day in Minnesota!!! The Vikings play the for the NFC (right?) Championship! The next stop for the winner (VIKINGS) is the SUPERBOWL!!!!! We are going over to Glamma and Cookies to watch the game with some people! FUN!

Love,
Mom

*Toot* "Uh-oh!"

Dear Amelia -
Monday night – Lindsay came over to play with you for a little bit. You dug thru her purse and pulled out everything in it! That was fun. Then it was bed time
Tuesday - You loved your new daycare! They said that you did wonderfully! You got in a 2 hour nap and were happy when I picked you up! WOO HOO!
Last night, we didn’t do much. You went to bed at 7pm and slept until 645am! Such a good little sleeper! Your latest funny thing that you do is toot and then go “uh oh!” Its hilarious!


Today is your last Wednesday with Aubrey! I hope you two are having fun!!

Love,

Mom
