So Cute

I love watching my daughter learn and grow. Here are a few highlights at 21 months (don't remind me that she's almost 2--it's gone by too fast):
  • She loves animals. Pep=Pet an animal
  • She's learning colors. She'll hold up a crayon and tell me the color, waiting for me to confirm that it's correct. My favorites: pinky=pink, geen=green, boo=blue
  • She loves shoes and insists on choosing her shoes for the day. She'll try them on and switch them if I tell her they're on the wrong feet.
  • Anytime we finish a fun activity, she'll say "again!"
  • Nore=More
  • Nummy=Yummy
  • Amora is now getting into dinosaurs, thanks to Jacob (the boy I babysit). She insists that I give her a dinosaur sandwich every day and we read dinosaur books from the library.
  • Last week as I'm changing Amora's diaper, she says, "Poop, looloo (doodoo)." I explained that poop and doodoo are the same thing but Mommy calls it doodoo. She responded by saying "I call it looloo."
  • She loves to tease her daddy and call him Mommy.
  • We got her a pillow that she absolutely loves. Since getting the pillow, she doesn't thrash as much in her sleep and hasn't fallen off the bed.

My shoe girl. This is how I found her after her nap.


At the fish hatchery. She kept exclaiming, "Mommy, fish!"


Looking for trouble.


Purse, check. Phone, check.


Dress up is fun!

Family Reunion

We went to Utah a couple of weeks ago for a family reunion on the Loumeau side. It was so nice to get to know everyone. We stayed in awesome condos in Park City and were able to sneak away to the outlets as well. Even though a lot of people were there, most of my pictures included one special little girl. I can't help it. Seriously.

She had time to play with her daddy. They love every minute they get to spend together.


She got to see her grandma and grandpa. Here she is taking a look at a picture of herself.


Impromptu family photo without the in-laws (what I called "Team Ron").


With the in-laws. Amora looks a little crazy in this picture, but I look nice. :)


All tired out after a long night of fun.


Thanks to everyone who made this weekend happen. A lot of sacrifices were made for us all to get together and we're all really grateful. Can't wait for the next reunion!
