Amelia Video Overload!

When leaving the hotel after the wedding Amelia insisted that she help her Daddy push the cart !:)

Here she is with Mamaw Bean. She apparently combs my hair when I hold her and haven't noticed it until she was being held by my mother and continued to comb her hair with her fingers!:) Too funny!

We had had a long wedding weekend and Amelia was a trooper for the two nights she was up past her bedtime. (usual bedtime: 6pm... went to bed Thurs/Fri: 11pm) She didn't get fussy until we were 30mins from home. Here she is trying to decide if she should be happy or sad. Poor girlie!


Amelia Reading...



 Amelia has been reading many books to herself in the car ride to and from work/school!




And then there was a Wedding!


 JESSIE'S WEDDING!
 Jessie & Nate were married this Friday, June 28th! They had a wonderful time with family & friends!
 During the rehearsal dinner, Brylan and Amelia were inseparable!



Can't forget a picture with Mamaw & Papaw Bean!


The day of the wedding, Amelia had fun being one of the girls; as we all got ready together!


Just a girl and her Mama!




 They're married! YAY!


 A few family pictures...

WARNING: Tears are shed in this post!

Amelia isn't always sunshine and smiles!:) Here she is upset that she has to clean up her toys after her bath. You don't see it (because my camera shut off) but she begins to put them away at the end of the clip. Poor girlie! 

An Artist in the Making...


This evening, Amelia wanted to draw and so we pulled out the markers. As she was drawing she would get VERY close to the paper and make small markings (which is different from times before). Like what she was drawing, was very important! She also realized that if she pulled hard enough, she could take the cap off on her own. She was very proud of this new accomplishment! 

Happy Father's Day, Nathan!

On Sunday, we had a great day just spending time together in light of Father's Day! Someone had SO much fun that she zonked out on the way home!:)

One Sunny Saturday at the Park!





So last Saturday we decided to take a trip to the local splash pad here in Bloomington. Amelia took one look at the splashing water and wouldn't let go of either of us. Therefore, we decided to leave (luckily it was free) and just have fun at a park across town. It was a great time! 


Playing with the Dogs

Amelia is not afraid to play with the dogs. She has been trying to play fetch with them and they LOVE it! They get a little too carried away when they start licking her, but for the most part they all three love each other dearly:)





Learning the Art of Cleanliness!

This week Amelia has begun using any rag or towel to either clean her face or pretend to wipe any object around her! I think it is because she sees me (Randi) every morning wiping down my classroom tables:) I will not be complaining about this new development! She has also enjoyed helping me empty out the dishwasher! What a big helper!

Growing Up FAST!

 Amelia is getting SO big! She loves eating our food now and can't get enough of it!

We have also moved her to a forward facing car seat. I know, I know.... she seems too small to do this, however, it is much easier to assist her eating and drinking in the car.
She has also remained an AMAZING sleeper. Sleeping like this most nights for 12 hrs straight! (Knock on wood;))
 
Amelia has begun saying many words. Here she is showing off her skills. Her favorite, by far, is "Oh, Man!" We have to admit that it is our favorite, as well!

School Fun





Amelia LOVES school! The first three pictures she is busy filling a bucket full of sand. She also might have ate a little, as well! The fourth picture she has smashed her face up against her old rooms window to get a better look at her old teachers! Too funny!!! Lastly, Amelia is one of few in her class that can balance herself well enough to go down her small slide, on their playground, by herself! Way to go, Amelia!

Amelia and the Pups...

Amelia plays so well with the dogs! She has learned that if you want them to come to you, you shout at them (from us...) Oops:) She also likes attempting to throw their toys to them! Too cute!

RAIN!

 
One afternoon, it rained when returned home from work and Amelia LOVED feeling it as it came down. She is so fascinated by the littlest things and I am fascinated watching her be so amazed!

Saturday Night...

Just an average Saturday Night in the Peach household!:) What fun!
