Huggies! Cutest video ever. I love her little pat on the back.
So here we are down to a little over 3 weeks until the move. And I've been keeping myself excited and calm, thinking of all the ways I'll be okay. But I forgot about Amelia!
Here we live surrounded by most of her cousins and aunts and uncles. She is comfortable with everyone, running up to them with her arms out. She can say some names: Ginger, Grandpa, Judson, Sam. She loves being surrounded by family. I am so sad for her, to take her away from everyone.
I think, will she ever be this comfortable with them again? And I know she will, it only took her a couple hours to warm up to Grandma Rose. But this is what finally got me to cry about moving. I've held strong, but the changes I realized Amelia will be going through is what broke me.
At the same time, we sure have fun just the three of us.
I know that we will make tons of new friends for Amelia, and I'm excited to see her warm up to a new crop of people. All the while we'll have pictures and video chat to keep up with the family.

I really hate to think about it but it is definitely coming up quick. Amelia will be just fine with you and Juan and her new little sister. But I'm so glad she got to live close to us for a while. What a fun adventure you will have as your own little family.
I haven't looked at a blog in FOREVER, so I've missed a log but where are you moving to?
the manikin thing is just funny; I would abuse it too much and try to terrify my child always. I love her face in that photo!
I love to read all of the quirky things Amelia does, that is what makes little ones SO FUN! Congratulations on #2! I hope you are feeling well and things go smoothly with the move! :)
I love the little pat on the back. I am going to miss seeing you guys more often. Hopefully we will make our way down to Colorado soon so we can be a little closer to you guys. We will just have to visit Texas often which I will not have a problem making excuses to do so. It will be a fun new adventure for you guys.
Ok the mannequin thing cracks me up! That is just hilarious!! And the video of her hugging and giving pats on the back-adorable! The thought of leaving family and Lexi not knowing them was really, really hard for me. And even though we have some of his family here, I know it's nice, but it's not the same. But, for us it hasn't been that bad. We Skype a lot with both of our families. And Lexi still manages to recognize Brian's mom whenever she sees her, even though we don't live by them anymore. I think for some reason they just remember that bond. But don't worry, you'll adjust & have us!! YES! I know that's making you feel better lol :)
poor amelia and her mean mean parents :) Not gonna lie, its really hard having kid(s) so far from home. But 1) the older she gets the more she remembers, and she can connect pictures and webcam with actual people, and 2) you'll find a whole new "family" in texas. Thats what we have here. so really we get the double the family. its hard, but its a blessing. good luck! moving is not that fun. . . oh! and I don't think I ever said congrats on little girl #2! thats so exciting! we're happy for you guys!
I totally know what you mean. It was the hardest
part of moving, was knowing that Cameron wouldn't remember my family members. Hopefully Amelia will be old enough to remember! Talk on the phone and show her lots of photos. Good luck!!
