Amelia loves this yellow duck. The duck is actually a puppet of sorts and you can activate it’s quacky songs with her your hands. I think I’ve forgotten the words to Old MacDonald, but I’m pretty sure I could quack it for ya. Notice the jammies that Amelia has on. Amelia is almost 8 months… Maddie wore these pajamas when she was nearly a year and a half old!!!

Amelia is a modern flapper. By definition a flapper is a young lady, especially one in the 1920s who showed disdain for conventional dress and behavior.
Conventional dress? A diaper will do…. who needs pants?!
Conventional behavior? Everyone should trip flapping their arms and legs as fast as they can while smiling from ear to ear because you just can’t help but feel good about the world!
She’s getting stronger and stronger everyday and spends very littel time in one place. Instead, she spots something across the room and rolls over to it.
It’s just a matter of time until she crawls….

One of my favorite moments of the day is heading to school around noon in order to give mom and dad a break from the day. It’s a big job, but somebody has got to do it and I’m always up to the task! Daddy’s office is so office like sometimes, but the moment I get there, the whole place lights up. Have you ever noticed that adults look and talk really funny around us babies? I do bring out the best in people though if I do say so myself!

I’m definitely too young to remember this trip, but it’s worth mentioning what an amazing little sister I am. Leaving the hotel at 10 a.m. and returning at 9 p.m. with NO crying involved is something akin to spectacular. It was HOT, I was SWEATY… I had every reason to throw a wang dang dinger. But… I didn’t. Instead, I babbled when I felt like babbling… I slept when I felt like sleeping… I ate when I felt like eating… and I drank water like it was going out of style! I even took the boat ride with Maddie in the “It’s a Small World” ride. Oh the joy!!
