Amelia Grace - 21 months old! My how time surely flies.

Amelia never ceases to amaze us. I mean, of course, we are her parents! She is fully adjusted to school now. She hasn't cried at drop off in a couple of weeks...she gives me a hug and kiss and goes about her business, like it's no big deal. What a big girl!! She's started showing interest in using the potty this month. Waking up dry from her naps often, and sitting on the potty after. I can't devote that kind of time to "training", so we're waiting until this summer and doing the weekend trial run like we did with Olivia, but it's nice to know that she's showing interest.

She talks more and more every day. She has a crazy amount of works, not sure what new ones she's picked up. She pretty much just copies everything everybody else says. She hasn't been weighed or measured for a few months, so I have no idea where she falls in line there. She is wearing 12-18 month clothes still, and size 4 diapers. She has a BIG ol' belly, and if it weren't for that, I think her 12-18 month stuff would still be a little baggy on her. That helps her fill her clothes out. LOL. I'm thinking in the next couple months we'll start incorporating some 18-24 month stuff in though.

She is still a total mama's girl, through and through. She comes to be when hurt, when she wants something, and insists that I put her to bed. I LOVE it! I was so worried we'd have two major daddy's girls on our hands, but that is not the case :) The teachers and director at their school still rave about what a little sweetheart she is - they just seem to love her to pieces which is so great to hear. They still say they are very impressed at how easily she adjusted to going there. My girl, my cuddle bug!

Today was a pretty low key day, nothing out of the norm. Work, work, work. Workout. Dinner. Family time. Bed!

As my readers know, I take a monthly picture of Amelia by the stair case (and every 6 months now with Olivia). I usually manage to get a pretty cute shot out of them, but it never comes easy. Here is basically a run down of how I finally get to a good picture...for some reason, looking through them just cracks me up...
