Words

Amelia has been so cute lately saying all sorts of new words. I wanted to record how she is saying some of these words... so here is a list:

Cows say "Newww!"
I love you "I you!"
Baby "Dede"
Melissa "Issa"
Kumma (Grandma and Grandpa Ellerbeck's Dog) "oomma"
Bunny "Nunny"
Nose- she says with added emphasis on the "os"
Elmo "elno" or "neno"
John/Jon (we have two in the family :) )- "on"
Nichole "Nickle"
Tasha- "Tasha"
Heather- "eather"
Annie- "Nannie"
Sean- "non"
Bryce-"Nice"
Gretchen- "Gegin"
I ask can you say Charley- " No no Doggy" - this is Nana&Papa's Dog, who is a golden retriever puppy. As you can tell she has been able to be a part of the training of the dog.
Hippo- Hitoe
Zebra- Edup
Movie- Moooovie (with the left hand rotating- every time :) )
Hug you- Ug you

Well I can't think of anymore right now, but as I remember I will add to this list :)

Spiders

So this evening I was getting out Amelia's pajamas to put on her, and as I unzipped them I noticed something just inside... I thought it was a lint ball or perhaps some strings. So I folded it open and started to reach for it when it moved! I screamed and threw the pajamas across the room. I Hate spiders, but I have learned to deal with them, and I don't normally react so strongly but I think I did this time because I was just about to grab it and Amelia was just inches away from it too. Of course I startled Michael who came running in... to find out there was only a spider. Amelia sat and watched as Michael got a kleenex, opened up the pajamas and got the spider, looked at it, said it was have dead already- see I had just put these pajamas away like 30 minutes ago, (note to self, don't leave clean laundry to be folded out so long...) I must have partly squished him while folding the pajamas today.

Then after getting Amelia dressed I was happy to see I had not scared our child into being afraid of spiders. She went and found some lint on the floor, got some kleenex and picked it up like a spider and brought it to her Dad to show him. Michael is such a good Dad! :) I am grateful for him.

Growth of Baby #2

So this morning I went in for a growth ultrasound to check how our little one is doing. ( We are doing this because Amelia was an IUGR baby, aka a growth restricted baby.) Today we are 28 weeks and 0 days, and he measured 29 weeks! and I think they said 2lbs 11oz. He is doing good! They took some really great pictures of him too. He was so cute sucking on his hand the whole time. They also said "It is still a boy"- I would hope so :)

Enjoy the pictures.
