August

Here are some random pictures and stories to finish up August. 

I switched out Amelia's earrings one day and it wasn't as bad as I was dreading.  It helped that I distracted her with Curious George and a comb.  Since then she has pulled on them a few times but I just explained that they are pretties for her ears like mommy has and she leaves them alone.  She is now sporting butterfly earrings she got from Aunt Kait and Uncle Jeremy for her birthday.

Swimming at Grandma's house.

 Kole ended up getting in the pool with her which she loved!  I actually think she has a bit of a crush on Kole.  She has started calling him Koke, I'm not sure where that came from.  Since school has started our Wednesday routine is to pick Kole up from the YMCA and go to Grandma's house for dinner.   All of the cousins end up being there which has been a lot of fun.  Last week on the way to get Kole I was talking about how we are going to pick him up and Amelia said, "No kisses."  I had to laugh at that one.  Then when Kole got in the car he said, "Hi Baby!", to which she responded "Amelia."  I'm convinced she was telling him that she isn't baby, but Amelia. 

Back to August...We went to the ECFE open house.  There was singing and dancing which she enjoyed but she was upset with me that I didn't bring pup pup with us. 

 Sitting in the lockers. 

 Her absolute favorite toy in the diaper bag is the etch-a-sketch.  Then she broke it by stabbing the pen onto the screen too hard.  It was leaking some sort of goo so it had to be tossed and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet.
