9 Months

Amie is almost too long for her baby tub. When we wash her hair her legs hang over the end! She loves bathtime and splashes lots. She always tries to get the facecloth - which is so much more fun than any of the other toys.

Will came to visit while Sonia had coffee. As you can see Amie snatched Will's snacks and they both had banana stars all over the place.
Amie's a bit too big for her baby swing now. Even strapped in she can manouver herself around. No staying still for this kid!

Halloween

This year Amie is a very cute pumpkin for Halloween. I couldn't resist the costume!

Her cousin Sydney is a Corpse Bride - very scary!
Sydney came over on the weekend and we carved pumpkins and did some halloween crafts.
Our masterpieces - Mike's dragon, Karla's cat, and Sydney's pig carvings.
Spooky......

Crawling!!

Amie is finally crawling! She starting inching herself along the carpet a week ago and now she's going full steam. When she gets near something she knows she's not supposed to touch (I have some picture frames on a low shelf) she looks back with a big smile and tries to hurry to get herself there quick. She hasn't quite figured out how to move on the kitchen floor yet though; her pants slip on the floor and she can't get a grip. It looks like she's on a treadmill, and she isn't impressed. She is definitely very proud of herself when she gets across the room to get whatever she's had her eye on!

Video to Steph

Amie made this video for Stephanie since she hasn't been able to see her yet :( You can see she likes to do her own thing and doesn't imitate anything we try to get her to do on video!

My First Tooth!

Amie finally got her first tooth yesterday (at 7 1/2 months). She's been kinda cranky lately, so that's probably why. She keeps sticking her tongue in and out to feel the little bumps.

Cutie Pie!

Sears Photo Shoot

Erin, Deb, Sonia & I took the kids to get their photos done together. It was a lot of fun. They had a few moments - everyone cried at one point except Amie, but she peed on the floor! She is 6 months in this photo. I had to hold her up, but just a week or two later she was learning to sit by herself.
