Amelie- 2 years


Amelie is 2!
We celebrated Ama's birthday with a barbeque. I realized later that this was probably the last thing she wanted-- she spent the better part of the night hiding behind me, monitoring our guests (all of whom she's seen a million times before) from the safety of mom's leg. She's super shy right now-- doesn’t like people even looking at her—though she’s not shy about giving them an evil eye or yelling at them to let them know she doesn’t like them looking at her.

Amelie is talking more and more—though sometimes it still takes several tries to understand what she’s saying.  Many things are "bop", which could mean airplane, blanket, baby, potty, and endless other things.  We just keep guessing, and she just keeps yelling bop louder and louder until we guess correctly. Yop, yop! means stop. 

She loves her lavender knit blanket, and drags it everywhere with her like Linus.  With summer here, that often means it gets dragged around outside and returns full of  dirt,  grass and leaves. She loves horses, and we must say hello to them each morning.  She likes reading books, climbing in Daddy’s gym, and she’s just started riding the Strider bike. She plays trains, legos, kitchen, and mothers her baby dolls. She does not like yellow and refuses to wear yellow clothes. She’s inherited our sweet tooth and loves ice cream, cookies and chocolate.  At her 2 year appointment, she measured 25th percentile for weight, 25th for height, and 60th for head size. She gave up her bottle recently and now uses a sippy cup (mainly because I didn't want to answer yes if the doctor asked if she was still drinking from a bottle). 

Some pictures from her big day:
