These pics were taken on Dec. 1st. And yes ... she knows what a camera is and how it works and that she is supposed to smile :-)
She never ceases to surprise us, nor make us stop laughing. Even at her crankiest moments, she's a comedian.
Amélie is not interested in crawling ... well maybe she's interested, but she is quite content to sit on the floor and play with what's in front of her. Usually a drum that sings, a Xylophone and her teething ring. She has tried to crawl a couple of times, but got distracted along the way so ... sigh ... oh well lol. Actually, better for me :-D I can still leave the stairs open to get that nice warm air AND Harry the Tree is not in danger (for now)
For those who haven't seen her in a while and are worried she'll play shy - let me reassure you ... not to worry. Once she senses that maman and papa are okay with you, she'll be bouncing on your lap and pulling your hair and/or glasses in no time. She also talks a lot, so be prepared with something to reply. She gets upset if you just smile or laugh at her lol. You actually have to talk back, then she'll just keep goin'. She even gestures with her hands - she has SUCH a personality. She has this thing about putting her fingers in her mouth, so ... be warned ... she's investigating your teeth. If you are or recently were sick or are coming down with something, PLEASE REFRAIN lol.
Speaking of teeth, Amelie has ONE. Yup ... one sharp little devil. And yes I am still breastfeeding ;-) She is very well behaved that way. She eats most of her vegetables and all her fruits - something about mixed vegetables she doesn't like lol. And .... her favorites so far are sweet potatoes, carrots and blueberries. mmmmmmm. She can also feed herself with a spoon. She's actually better at it than if I try to help her. She has a sippy cup of water that she likes too but prefers to drink out of a big girl cup or better yet, a bottle (as in a water bottle lol)
What else, what else ... OH she weighs 16 lbs 11 ounces now and is 26 inches. Yah, the Dr's office screwed up somewhere along the weigh (get it WAY LMAO), but the health nurse triple checked lol. She's NOT shrinkin'. Her head is 44 cm. She has lots of brains. So .... yah ... I think that's up to date. :-) Cheese!!!
