Just some info...

We haven't really been up to that much lately...but Amelia is the "Smartest girl alive!!!" (hopefully you get that one, Alison).

Anyway, the other day I decided to sing the ABC's and pause at certain letters, and wouldn't you know it....Amelia filled the letters in! Then I tried it with "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" and she did it again! Then I tried one last trick and paused while reading "Goodnight Moon" and she was able to fill in key words. She's so smart. Now, I realize that these are things she has heard over and over and over so it's stuck in her head, but I'm still convinced she's a genius! KIDDING!

It is fun to see her start to recognize letters. She definitely knows most of the capital letters now, and it's so cute when she points to words and tries to "read" them. She's such a big girl now.

We've also been having fun playing with our new friends. Last week we visited with her friends John and Jacob, and today Jacob came to visit our house. Those two are really becoming great buddies. They play so well together:) John is also quickly becoming one of her favorites...they were pretty content to leave "us moms" behind and play off by themselves for quite awhile. It's definitely a new world when they can entertain themselves!

Oh - and one last note. Amelia is officially a monkey! She climbs on everything! The couch, chairs of all sorts, the coffee table (yikes!), and tonight she was trying to climb INTO her crib...let's just hope she doesn't try to get out of it just yet!
