The van has become the play area while Connor is doing karate!

Connor was making her laugh

Connor did pretty good taking our pic : ) I really hate wearing a bicycle helmet...it's really annoying. Still have to look for a new one for baby...or was thinking of spray painting this one!

This was Connor yelling, "look mom, I can ride with one hand!"

Eating machine...the shirt says it all! This little one loves her food! And to date...the only thing she really does not like is cheese!

 Granny and Clyde found this Eating Machine onsie at Gatorland : )  One of our favorite family fun places in Orlando!

 Also testing out the new booster...not sure if it is a keeper yet...but she really likes the baby doll seat that attaches to it...Minnie Mouse was having fun too!

 Pointing to the alligator...she loves the picture of the alligator in her room...so she seems to like this one too!

Minnie is done with her food too...so she's off for a walk!

Time for a ride!

 I don't think I was supposed to post this one...but since Scott waved, so I took it as an "all clear" to take a picture of him taking Amelia for a test ride on my very pink bike!

 She definitely needs a new helmet...this is Connor's from years back and it just won't do!

Not only was she being so cute just sitting and reading her book, feet crossed...she was doing sign language for "bird" with her right hand...as she sees the picture of the Hawaiian state bird, the Nene,

in this Aloha alphabet book! 

Random pics from last week...just found them on my card which is why I really try to download pics right away or they are forgotten! But there are some pretty entertaining one's so glad I didn't delete the card without checking!

 I think this is Auntie Bean's lei that we recycle each time she visits!!! 

Amelia insisted upon wearing it!

 Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?  Or Connor's lunchable as the case may be?  Amelia stole the cookie from the lunchable!  Oh yeah!

 Who me?  Couldn't be!   There is oreo on her forehead!   You had to hear Connor when she grabbed one of the two oreos!  I was laughing so hard and he was laughing but wanted his cookie back...I did have a bag of mini-oreos to offer Connor as a settlement in this case!

 Practicing golf across from our house...

 I was cleaning out the car (shocker) while Connor practiced...he was really having fun!  Glad we started the golf lessons again!

 Dress up time...

 Admiring herself again in the reflection!

 A little Harry Potter drawing...

 And some Harry Potter poses...he is Harry Potter you see!  The wand is a drum stick...and the tie, well, this is Connor's favorite clip-on tie that he wears to bed sometimes.  Why? 

 No clue but we just go with it!

Practicing paddling out...

Phone pic so not a good zoom!

Practicing his form with no waves...

Having a blast playing on the board!

She was watching some people play ball...and was desperate to go get the ball so she could play with it!

Being cute...

Good form!

Going for a ride with daddy...

Being cute again!

Such a beach baby!

Our little surfers : )

It has been a busy day for this little girl...will have to elaborate later, time to get the kids from school : )

Bonnie's new cage for traveling...small enough to breakdown and fit into a suitcase so when we are in hotels or temporary lodging till we have our things delivered once we move...well...we have it set up so Bonnie can get used to it...but Amelia likes it better...so she decided to give it a try!  

Hmm...something isn't right here...she couldn't figure out how to back out of the cage, so she was stuck but not really...so what do I do?  Go grab the camera so I can capture this Kodak moment!!!

This was just minutes later...she was really on a roll today...and it didn't end!   She really enjoys the dishwasher and likes to help load and unload...but this was a little more hands on than usual!  She opened the door by herself (if it's not clicked shut, she wedges her hands in there...I really need to move the utensils to the back of the dishwasher!)

And not too long after this...she got the keyboard to the desktop computer.  I don't have a picture of her but she was sitting on the floor with the computer keyboard!  It's a wireless keyboard so she helped herself to the keyboard and was typing away when I found her...the keyboard wasn't working for a while after that...but after she went to bed, I was able to fix it!

Connor got a yellow stripe on his belt today!

Shoes...Amelia had a meltdown today over shoes! Really!? She really wanted to wear the cute silver shoes...but they fit terribly and she walks funny and trips constantly...so I talked her into the pink shoes (after a little meltdown!) and then she was happy...but it was rough going there for about 10 minutes! Fifteen months old and demanding to wear specific things? That seems way too early to me!

Looking at the shoes after crying...trying to decide if she is happy with this pair!

Well, I suppose they will do!

She kept marching back and forth looking at her feet...pretty funny

Gaming and walking around all at once!

This one of Connor's games...Buzz Lightyear and it makes all sorts of sounds and noises...but she turns it off accidentally every few minutes...so then little Miss Independent needs my help!

Oops, I did it again!  Broke through the gate, played with the crayons...

Pics from last week...

 Connor and his friend Jimmy were playing...and decided to see if Amelia would drive her car with the lantern on it...it was pretty funny

There's a little video to go along with this lantern pic but I am behind on my video clips...

Bonnie bird going for a ride on Amelia's car...she was not a happy bird!   But I couldn't resist!   And if you are wondering why Amelia is wearing a Christmas bib...well...it is because she insisted upon it!  She found it and tried to put it on herself, when she realized she needed help, she brought it to me!   Very entertaining!
