Getting Bigger

Christmas is fast approaching and we're really looking forward to it this year!  It will be fun to see her actually open gifts and maybe get excited about some of her presents.  Our little girl is getting so big.  I use the term "big" loosely since she's still quite petite.  At her 15 month check up she weighed in at a stunning 19 lbs!  Her height and weight are somewhere around the 3rd to 5th percentile.  Even though her size is not big, she's definitely got big attitude.  Honestly, I have no idea where she gets that from...  She's quite the talker too.  No surprise there given her parents ability for gab.  Her words aren't clear yet and she mostly only gets out the first syllable but she has a lot to say.  Some of her new words - Mo Chee (translates to More Cheese), Cold, All Done, Bye Bye and some others.  Of course Martin and I understand her, but the words don't come out so clearly.  She's trying though and she mimics us.  Which means I have to clean up the potty mouth.  I really don't want my kid to drop an "F" bomb on the playground.  Have I mentioned how much Amelia likes to read and be read to?  It's one of my most favorite things.  She loves books!  And she definitely has her favorites.  I know the words to Madeleine, Goodnight Moon, and Where The Wild Things Are by heart.  


The last few months have been tough on our little family.  Martin is living in Austin while the rest of us (Bug and Dexter included) are living in Houston.  Thankfully the end of our long distance relationship is coming to an end soon!  While it's going to be sad to move away from our family and friends, we are excited about becoming an Austin family.  We're looking forward to having a lot of visitors!  See y'all soon!


Some photos for you to enjoy:)

Could a 19 lb kid have anymore attitude?

She loves the slides at the park

There's a party in my tummy, so yummy!
