Our Last Week with Daddy

For the time we had left with Daddy, we tried to have as much fun as we could. We played outside, went for icecream and to the park, we went to the zoo, and even tried to feed the ducks. It turns out where Mommy fed ducks as a kid there is now a $250 fine - boo. Regardless, we had a wonderful time and were very very sad to see Daddy go.

We got to feed the larakeets

Of course Alex had the most fun on the slide
Ostriches and Bald Eagles
Some prairie dogs as a shout out to those still in OK - for those of you who don't know there is such an over population of p-dogs in OK, that they have to try and come up with humane ways to 'get rid of them'
Lemur - Amelia's Favorite
When you leave the preserve the road is covered w/about 2" of water and is a very popular play area

July 2009 - Our Last Days in Georgia

Alex (2 yrs 1 mos):
This month was a whole lot of crazy. We had our first trip to Disney World and the following weekend Gpa, Grammy and Aunt Sarah came up to help us pack and move stuff into storage. There were all a great help - I was really tired of living in a house of boxes. I had lots of last minute checkups and speech appts. My hearing is now totally normal after my surgery. Mommy is hoping I start talking soon, but I think I'm going to make her worry a bit longer. Finally, on the 23rd we moved north to PA to live at Mimi and Pops while Daddy is gone for a really long time. So far I'm doing well and I'm having lots of fun playing with my Uncles Bill and Stephen. We even had almost 2 wks to hang out with Daddy before he left and had tons of fun doing lots of little special things.

Amelia (1 yrs):
Well, I made to my 1 yr birth with flying colors! I am 29.5" tall and just shy of 20lbs. I LOVE to eat, blueberries are my favorite, but I'll eat pretty much anything. I'm not walking yet. Physically I am totally able, Mom says I just don't seem to realize that I am able. I have definately started to talk. While Alex always has said 'diggle' my babble is 'diddle.' I can say "hi, all done, doggy, mama, and daddy." Mommy says she think she heard my say 'book' today too. I am really into books right now and pull them all off of the shelf at least once a day and go thru them all. Hopefully, I'll convince Alex to talk soon too ;o)

Sibling Love

Alex thought it was great to push her on the swing and she thought it was hysterical

Mad b/c she is stuck. She can totally walk with this on her own, but hasn't figured out how to steer and SCREAMS when she gets stuck

Babydoll Present
Still only has 2 teeth

Apparently she has Mommy's disease of blinking for the camera

The Start

The Middle - she decided that her huge cupcake wasn't big enough so she stole 3 of Alex's 4 much to his chagrin


And a little more...
We Love Daddy
