My baby crawls

Within the last couple of weeks, Amelia has become a professional crawler. She is all over the place. She no longer sits still and cries when I leave the room, she zooms right after me. She is hilariously tiny to be moving so quickly in my opinion. And she just loves it.

Amelia is ready to learn. She picked up on leading the music this sunday, and she would sing also. We had Family Home Evening that night with my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. We sang a lot of songs and she just sat in the middle and alternated between waving, leading the music, singing, clapping, crawling, scrunching her nose, and grinning from ear to ear. She was the little entertainer.

She has recently started giving kisses, well just leaning in so I can kiss her, she doesn't pucker her lips. But she only does it when I'm down on the ground with her. I'll be doing sit ups and she crawls over and leans to give me kisses. It is the cutest thing. 

Juan has a busy semester, we didn't see him until 9 yesterday. Thank goodness I had The Bachelor on tv to keep me company. Love the drama, love the crazies. I am stepping out of 'hermit mode' into motivation mode now, but with Juan gone so much, I have time for both! Best of both worlds, exercise, clean, cook during the days, lounge and read and watch tv in the evenings. I just wish he were here beside me for those last things.
We'll leave you with a scrunched-nose, toothless smile. I'll miss that smile when she finally gets teeth.

She already looks so much older and it was only a little over a week that we left. I love that she follows you around now. She does look so little and cute crawling. She for sure is going to find all those nerds the little kids dropped in the basement now.

Love the crawling video!! And I also love that she gives kisses. I'm already trying to teach Lexi that. Lol. I'm sure juan is also sad that he wasn't there for the bachelor. I can't wait til you move here so we can resume our bachelor dates!:)

She is a cruiser! That is very exciting and even better that you don't have to carry her around when you live the room. Those those happy smiles of hers!
