We had a great time celebrating Peter's 4th bday near the Russian River. Peter. Is Stanley's previous nannyshare buddy. Granted there was very little water left in the stream, it made for some good hikes down the stream bed and a great cookout in the river bed.
The '4' year old crown and the BFF friend crowns were critical for a bday celebration.
And all three of the kids took naps and slept in the same room together.
Amelia enjoyed it too.
Amelia enjoyed the dirt and rocks. She still wanted to put a few 'good ones' in her mouth, but would open up her mouth to take them out when we said 'too big'.
The cake was a fun creation by the kids. Without cake pans, the cast iron skillets worked wonderfully for the round head and square body of Spider-Man.
Amelia helped in her own way.
The final creation I though was pretty impressive done by 3 kids and 2 moms with limited utensils.
Amelia is a mover at 10 months. She enjoys pushing things around, stools, her high chair, a little walking toy. And she is quite adept at it. She can push it until it gets stuck and then pull it out to move the other way. She also makes lots of sounds. She makes the sound of cars and if I make a growel sound of a lion she will try to copy me.
She also is quite a tough cookie, she loves he brother dearly and even if he by accident takes her feet out from under her, she just gets right back up and keeps going.
The big thing also is she just started being able to eat without vomiting and Now she realizes how hungry she really is!! Boy she can eat and she will eat everything besides kale.
At 10 month
- Amelia can push a cart around
- she can crawl up and down stairs easily
- climb up into the couch and then stand on the window ledge
- hold onto drawers or other ledges and lift her feet up to try to get ontop.
- make a few sounds to match someone
- make her brother laugh and keep him entertained
- 2 bottom and 4 top teeth
She definitely likes playing with the toy kitchen.
Our only concern with Amelia is that she is small. Really small on the weight chart...well actually just down right off the weight chart. Her height is 50%, She is really active and seems to be doing fine in all other ways, but she definitely doesn't like to keep down food all that well. You can sort of tell how small she is in the video above.
We will try to catch up on posts, but happy birthday Amelia!
Loving having people and balloons around for her birthday.
Her version of a kiss, a version of eating my cheek.
Doing her work. If the dishwasher opens, she puts everything down to come help! She also likes to stand on the door and take the cups out of the top rack. We end up with foot prints on the door.
