Catching Up

So I've definitely been out of the blogging mode lately but here we are again and we'll try to do better with keeping posts coming.  Here are a few pictures of Amity from the past month.  She's now 15 months old. Time just flies! These days she's making a lot more sounds and forming some words: "ca" anytime she sees a car, hears a car or looks out the window at the road and thinks she might see a car; "cra-ker" when she wants a cracker of course and she'll show you where they are too; "Da-deee" who is her favorite buddy, she asks for him when she wakes up from her nap every day and off and on throughout the day; "Pap" for her grandpap and "pop" when she sees the push around popper she likes to drag around; "da" for down while pointing down.  She's signing "birdie" all of the time and loves watching them in the yard. She's also a huge, and I mean HUGE, fan of cheese. She would eat it all day. Amity is really good at following directions, like finding her hat and shoes and pointing at the door to go outside. She still loves to read. It's definitely a favorite thing to do.

She's a smiley, happy girl who loves being around people. She turns on the charm every time we go to the grocery store and has at least one person waving and smiling at her before we leave. She's willing to try any type of food we offer but doesn't always keep it in her mouth.  She loves to point at my glasses and have me say that they are glasses. She's sleeping through the night really well now....thankfully and finally.  She's also going to sleep on her own very well and is even now asking to be put in the crib instead of cuddled a little at bedtime and nap. She's decided to like bath time and wants to lay back in the tub and talk with her ears in the water...I think she likes the sound of her voice under the water.

She loves to be outside and is literally running circles in the yard and around the house.  She's also putting together where things go in the house....where the water, milk, crackers and other things belong.  We're definitely enjoying all of the new and exciting adventures we're having as a family. I just love the moments when Amity does something sweet and unexpected.  The other night I laid her down in her crib and she giggled as she was falling asleep....precious. I also love when she holds our hands while we pray before dinner. Such a sweet baby girl. We love her to pieces.
