Mother's Day

Amelia made a stepping stone with her hand prints for Mother's Day. She was so excited and did such a good job waiting and counting while we mashed her hands in the concrete. Can't wait to add this to our garden someday.

Our Little Baby Boy

We got some 4d ultrasound pics on Saturday. It was nice to see his little chubby face, but he was sleeping the whole time despite our efforts to wake him up. He likes to stay all nuzzled up in my hip, so it's kind of hard to see all of him, but we think he's still pretty cute. Only 6 more weeks left until we see him for real. He's chubby like Amelia was.

Amelia with the giggles

Just watch the first bit. It gets kind of long

"manna"

So after another night in the ER with Amelia not breathing right, the Dr has her on daily asthma medicine. She has to use it with a nebulizer, which looks pretty funny to watch her breathe through this mask with what looks like steam pouring out. She is really good about it considering she has to do it 2 times a day and each time takes about 30 or so minutes or more. I think she cooperates because she gets to watch a movie! She calls medicine "manna" and now requests it when she is ready to watch a movie.

2 car family

Philip finally got a car!!! (this is not ours but a look a like) A 2008 Prius in "silver pine"(light green). It is so fun and nice to have a NEW car (only 6 miles on it) and now 2 cars. Amelia seems to think it is a toy because every time we go out to it she calls it a bike. It makes us laugh, but it took Phil a few times to not be hurt by her cut on his choice of transportation. Makes me itchy for road trips.

"do it"

Amelia is really gaining her independence. She wants to do everything herself and tells you "do it" if you try to help her with anything. She's getting pretty good at feeding herself, somewhat dressing herself, putting shoes on and lots of other things. She's saying so many fun things and is starting to become more conversational and expresses her opinions and feelings.

Hiking in Zion

We were able to get away a few weekends ago and spend some time with family in Southern Utah. We spent one day hiking in Zion. Amelia loves getting a ride but really wants to do it herself. (like everything)
