August

This month has flown by!  Not sure where the time has gone....  We've had a few exciting things happening.  Amelia and I went to Hood River to visit Renee and Mylee again, and Amelia went swimming for the first time!  She loved it :)

We stayed in the baby pool for a bit, but went into the 3' deep pool and bobbed around, which she liked even more, we'll definitely need to do this again soon!

And we went to Cannon Beach, again.  This time we went with the Higginbothams, and Amelia was much more interested in the sand. 

We did go to Bend just last week and had lots of play time with the cousins.  We didn't really get many photos, but Amelia had fun!  David's sister also passed along a lot of toys!  We need to invest in more storage boxes because there is not enough space in Amelia's room for everything.

We finally got photos of Amelia taken, and they turned out great!  We've been hoping to do these a lot more often, but so glad we finally got some taken!

 

 

The craziest thing and pretty exciting is that Amelia is sitting up now, not completely on her own, but she is catching herself when she tips occasionally.... and yesterday I was playing a video of a 4 year old family member playing drums (really well), and Amelia started scooting toward the video!  Holy moly she's trying to crawl!!!  5.5 months.... ugh! We are in for it!  We'll see how long til she gets better at crawling in some way or other.... she's still more mobile now then we'd like.  But it's definitely fun to watch her try to move!
