18 months


Amelia is 18 months now and I attempted to take her picture so I wouldn't have to endure the horrid mall and all that comes with pictures. This really is the only one that is remotely decent. I just like how she's showing her toothy grin. I bribed her with jelly beans, which she calls "yows" which is also her word for marshmallows. Two weeks ago, I asked Philip to pack Amelia a snack for church. Typically I pack cereal and crackers or a fruit leather. When I got to church and opened it up, I was shocked to see a tupperware full of marshmallows and fruit loops!! It was too late, Amelia had spotted them so I reluctantly gave them to her to keep her quiet and reaped the consequences of a sugar hi and then low for the next 3 hours. Philip is no longer allowed to pack snacks.

For the record, the snacks I packed also included wheat thins and cheerios. I think I also included a fruit leather. All in one wonderful tupperware. I like to give my baby choices, you know, free agency, and I thought I packed a delicious smorgasbord. I think Amelia learned a valuable lesson about her level of sugar tolerance and I'm proud to be such an excellent father.
