Amelia is just about to take off on foot. She can do it really well, as long as she’s holding onto something.
I think her car has really helped her out with the walking skills. She will walk all over the place holding onto our hands. Both hands right now, but I think with a little practice, she’ll be able to go one-handed, then on her own.
Several of her classmates at daycare have been and/or are moving up because they have started walking. Her teachers keep saying NO! They don’t want her to move up and leave their class. 
She’s a favorite.

I’ve been browsing the internet and have found some gorgeous looking blogs. It makes me want to do another redesign of this site. I want it to look sophisticated and techy yet have that fun “mom” feel to it at the same time. How do I accomplish this with minimal frustration?
Another huge problem I have is that I spend so much time designing the layout, slicing it up, converting it to HTML and tweaking it here and there so that the end result looks at least somewhat similar to the Photoshop image, that by the time it goes live, I’m sick of looking at it. Granted, I don’t look at my site very often, but I’d like to have a layout that doesn’t turn me off once it goes live.

There’s a first time for everything I guess and today was one of those days. It was a gross one too. She pooped in the bath tub. Fortunately we have one of those little plastic blow up tubs that fits perfectly in the big tub. That’s what we bathe her in. So most of the poo was contained and I managed to grab the thing and dump it outside. But it was the grossest thing I’ve had to endure as a new mom. Poop that disintegrated when it hit the water. poo infested water. Yuck!! Of course, I immediately had to call DH and tell him what happened. Because it was right after he left for work. Then I proceeded to call the grandparents and let them know what their previous granddaughter had just done. They thought it was hilarious and laughed. Of course.

I had a coupon for 20% off at Toys ‘R Us and I got Amelia a little push car. It stands up for her to push, and it also lays down so she can ride it when she gets a bit older. She loves it. She spent hours playing with it this weekend and she even pushed it all by herself! We got video of it too to share with the grandparents. Unfortunately they can’t seem to load the video, darn Windows! It recorded and exported fine on my Mac as a short quicktime movie, but windows won’t play it. ugh!
Last night, she took a half step all by herself. She’ll be walking in no time. Then I will be constantly chasing after her. I thought for sure she’d fall over with the car, because she would lean way forward, but then I guess she realized she was going to fall if she didn’t move her feet and she took off. She was holding the car, pushing it, but she was walking all the same! It’s so cute to watch her.
