Time flies

I feel like I'm writing to my diary. Dear Diary, it's been 5 weeks since my last entry...

So Amelia is now 19 months. She is talking like crazy. The other morning she put three words together--something like, more book daddy, or all done daddy--I was a little sleepy and can't remember what she said!

Little things are harder and harder to remember. It seems like she's doing so many fun new tricks all the time! One day while playing in the apartment, tiny particles of dust floated in beams of sunlight; she said, "bubbles!" with delight. It was such a sweet little moment I wish could have been captured on film. The wonder of everyday events; the joy of seeing water trickle out of a broken sprinkler; being able to say a new word (over and over and over again); those are the moments I don't want to forget!

One of her favorite things is to come home and put on "daddy's shoes" out on the landing. Amelia also loves to sit in the front seat of the car and honk the horn. And if we have the infant car seat in (just in case we have a visiting kid who fits) she loves to get in and out and in and out and in and out! then do the buckle a million times.

Summer is approaching and we have signed up for several activities. Next week we start a music class on Monday and a swimming class at the Y on Thursdays. On Saturdays will be gym and swim. This is 1/2 hour gym class and 1/2 hour swim. This way Eric and I can both get in a little bit of a workout while Amelia spends time with each.

We have no summer plans yet. Hoping to get away for a mini vacation. Disappointed that we're not moving to England, but happy that we could spend the summer her. Now we've decided to look for a bigger place to live. Hopefully it won't take all summer because Sundays are exhausting! We did 13 open houses last weekend!!! Thank goodness my parents can hang with Amelia while Eric and I drive around LA. It's much easier and we can see many more places on our own.

Pictures should be coming soon. I just got a new hard drive and need to switch everything over. It's going to be a pain in the neck, but all of our photos from the last year and a half are scattered across various hard drives and it's not easy to keep track of. I'm hoping with one drive, it will be easier to start "working" on all the pictures again.
