Amelia Speaks








It's been a lot of fun hanging out with Amelia these past few weeks.  Poor Peyton is having a tough time with her because she wants him to hold her 100% of the time if he is around.  It's really to the point where he can't do anything without her. She's really changing so much every day.  My mom bought her a stuffed rabbit for Valentine's Day that sings.  It starts out:  Hey, hey, baby...I wanna know if you'll be my girl.  She will sing the Hey, hey baby part of the song.  It's so exciting to see her singing.  I've heard her try to say everyone's name.  She says Des, Sa (for Samantha and Sabrina), Da Da, and this morning...she tried to say Michael.  She will say "bath" when she wants to get in the tub.  She says:  "bye, bye."  She puts everything in the house up to her ear, like a phone and says:  "hello."  She's been doing that since she was 10 months old.  She dances all of the time.  Whenever she hears music, she bops her head and shakes her bottom.  This is such a magical age.  I love watching my baby girl's personality develop.  If she gets frustrated with her toys, she throws them.  She will yell at you if she doesn't like what you are doing.  Last night, Sabrina came into our room crying.  She put her head on my shoulder and I was hugging her and rubbing her hair and back.  Amelia crawled over.  She put her head on Sabrina shoulder and started to pat her.  She kept saying:  Ahhh!  Sa!!!  Which I think was supposed to be..."it's okay Sabrina." 

The biggest news has been her sleeping through the night and in her own room.  So far so good.  She's been in her baby bed for about three weeks now.  She kisses everyone good night and goes right to sleep without a fuss.  This is a really big deal for us to have a baby in her own room.
