At 17 months, Amelie loves walking backward, sticking out her tongue, reading books, and taking baths. She moves fast these days and is hard to catch in a photo. She's learned "How big is Amelie? So big!" and very proudly shows how big she is... except she only does it standing up in her highchair where I'm always afraid she'll topple out at any moment. She knows she's scaring me and I think that's why she likes it. She loves going outside for wagon rides and bike rides, and will stand at the door begging to go out no matter the weather. She loves being pulled in the wagon to reach our cars at the top of the driveway during snowstorms. The fact that she's enjoying it so much almost makes it fun, despite the fact that a wagon loaded down with 2 kids and all their stuff is very heavy going up a steep hill. Her newest words are wagon, cookie, and glove.
