She Crawls!

Amora just started crawling before she hit 7 months. She will only make the effort if she really wants a toy. She'll crawl as little as possible, then reach for the toy. It's pretty stinking cute. Here's a little video (unfortunately a little choppy). Notice her act of satisfaction in the end. I love my baby girl. :)

Cross Country Move and 4th of July

On June 23rd, Amora and I flew out of Birmingham to move back to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. After losing my job and not having any other prospects, we concluded that this was a good opportunity to move closer to family. Luckily, Adam's parents have allowed us to live with them in their beautiful home. Adam and his brother took the three day drive a couple of days later. Here's Adam and Amora on the morning of the flight (she was pretty tired):


One of the first things we did when we got to CDA was visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Hart. Amora was a little more interested in her grandma's necklace than meeting more family, but it was still a nice visit.


For the weekend of the 4th, we spent a day at the lake. Amora didn't seem to mind the cold water.


We spent another day playing Bocce with the family. It's one of the few times Adam actually gets competitive. :)


Later that day, we hung out at the lake and waited for the fireworks.

Adventures in June

We bought Amora a pool toy so she can get used to the water. We put her in the toy after we eased her into the pool. She absolutely loves it. She kicks her little legs and tries to swim all by herself. She was smiling in every picture we took.


Amora and I went to Oregon to visit family later in the month of June. She was a little shy at first with all of the family but got a lot more comfortable later in the trip. She got to play with her cousin Billy.


She also met her other cousins. She really has a gift for getting attention. :)


We toured Salem and had a nice day at the park.


We also went to Medford and spent time with my mom and brother Jeremy. We took a miserable 4 hour road trip to get there (Amora hates the car), but had a great time once we got there.


Amora went in a big tub for the first time and loved splashing around and playing with toys.


It was a great trip. We were happy to have spent time with all of my family. Can't wait to see you all next trip!
