As we were driving home from church tonight, Sam pointed out his window to the Metropolitan bank building and asked, “Who build that?” We told him we didn’t know, but that lots of people worked on it. Then he said, “Noah” very plainly and repeated it three times. So, we were trying to clarify and asked him if Noah built that building; he very confidently said, “Uh huh!”
Gotta love it!
I took the kids to Tulsa for a week and came back with a different child. Amelia has changed so much in the last week and I’m having a hard time keeping up!
Last Saturday was a long night with very little sleep, but Amelia woke up with her 1st tooth. That afternoon she waved good-bye to her Uncle Logan.
Amelia is getting SO close to crawling. She gets up on her knees and rocks – sometimes she goes backwards and sometimes she just scoots around on her bottom. She’s also started pulling up on her toys and furniture. I thought that came after crawling and before walking, but she’s doing it now!
The baby food stage didn’t seem to last very long – well, I guess it’s been 4 months since we started her on rice cereal! Yikes – where does the time go? She’s eating all kinds of things now: carrots, blueberries, avocados, yogurt, peas, applesauce, cheese, green beans, eggs, bread, bananas. And she has quite an appetite – just like Sam!
Possibly the best news of all – Amelia’s blocked tear duct has cleared up in the last two weeks. Hip Hip Hooray!!! The pediatrician told us to wait until 9 months to see if it would clear up on its own. He wasn’t very optimistic, but I’m sure glad we waited. I was dreading the thought of surgery on our baby – just thinking about it makes me queasy.
