i baptize you in the name of boredom and crazy shenanigans

today i went in to get amelie up from her nap (mama slept slightly longer then her, oops!) and she was running around her crib gleefully sprinkling water from her sippy cup all along the rails of her crib. it was cute and she was really enjoying herself so i ran to get the camera and when i came back she saw the "cammy" in my hand and started screaming, put down the cup and rolled around the crib screaming "NO!" and "Help ME!!!". so, i did what any good parent would and documented the tantrum. i can't believe she hates the camera so much today! she's usually a little ham! something new everyday i s'pose!

scar face

so amelie went to the park today, it was BEAUTIFUL outside. when daddy came from work to pick her up she was let to run to him down a concrete sidewalk and smashed her face. i wasn't very impressed but these things happen. here's my little scar face, who seems to be doing just fine after some pampering (a bubble bath in which she ate her pudding pop and mine =-).

U Can't Touch This...

....or take a picture of it either! I was just trying to capture a few shots of Amelie in action when she put her finger on the lens of the camera--I was surprised the picture still came out!

Little Amels Apple Seed

Today I gave Amelie an apple to eat for lunch. I peeled it and put it on her plate while I was fixing my lunch. I came to collect her plate about 10 minutes later and couldn't find the apple (usually she takes 3 bites and hides it somewhere like in the toy chest or her toy kitchen). I looked around and saw it was in her shopping cart with her drink--but it was only 1/2 inch big! She ate the whole apple except the tiny core part. I couldn't believe it, it made me laugh that she was so ravenous for an apple! I took a picture to commemorate the event!

daddy's my best friend

now-a-days when steven is at work, amelie likes to carry around a picture of him to keep him close by. she shows him things (like on tv or on her plate) and talks to "him" when he's at work. it's precious, she loves her daddy!
