Today while playing with Amelia, I realized she is no longer my little thumb sucker! I will admit that I thought it was so stinkin' cute when she'd suck her thumb, with her little fingers wrapped around her nose. My favorite thing was to watch her start at the top of her head and work her way down to her mouth. After a few months she finally got figured out how to aim right into her mouth. I was a little nervous that she would be eight years old and still sucking her thumb. Lucky for me, she winged herself. I do admit that I miss watching her suck on her little thumb.Amelia has enjoyed being an only child these past few days. She has been making us laugh non stop. She loves rocking herself when you hold her. The other day we were working down in the basement and she started rocking so hard that it was killing my chest. John and I were both laughing at her, and pretty soon Amelia realized it. Now she thinks it's the funniest thing and will just start rocking to try and get you to laugh at her. She has got the funniest laugh. It's a little deep chuckle. Nothing makes me happier! I feel like she has changed so much these past two weeks. Just this week I started putting her in the front part of the grocery cart without her car seat. I can't wait to take she and Eleanor to Costco this week. Every time we go Eleanor always says she can't wait until both she and Amelia and sit together.
Amelia is getting a little spoiled. She does not like to be put down for bed. I honestly don't mind rocking her to sleep. It's not going to be too long before she's too big for rocking. I seriously love this little girl and can't get enough of her!
Eleanor has been in Arizona for five days and we are really missing her!! I got to talk with her on ichat the other day and it made me miss her more. My mom was trying to talk me into letting her stay until Saturday, but we miss her way too much (and she does have swimming lessons to pass). Tricia probably thought I was a nut case for calling her 10 times a day. I hope to get some photos of her trip. Tricia took her to great grandpa Hall's house and she had a ball. My favorite story was grandpa kept taking out his fake teeth and smacking them. Eleanor wasn't to thrilled about it and kept telling him to stop because she didn't like that. Well, grandpa couldn't hear her (even when she's sitting on the arm of the chair, yelling right into his ears) and finally she just broke down in tears and ran into the other room. Tricia felt bad laughing, but I'm sure I would have done the same thing. Another funny thing was Tricia called me one night asking if Eleanor was afraid of heights. Apparently, the top bunk at Shannon's house was just a little to high for her! And of course she is having the time of her life at my parent's house. It's nice to know she is still headstrong about what she wears. I guess my mom couldn't get her to change out of a certain outfit and pair of shoes for church. I'm sure it was an awesome ensemble. Dang, just typing this is making me having with drawls, even from our little arguments! Only two more days, I seriously can't wait!
I had a great mother's day today. It was so nice spending it with John and Amelia. I'm excited for my dwarf lemon and orange trees. They are going to make a lovely addition to our kitchen! I've been spoiled these past few days. John took off work on Friday for our anniversary and we've been celebrating all weekend. It's going to be sad to send him off to work tomorrow. We went out to eat a few times, watched a couple of movies and even managed to get a lot done in the basement. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he was excited about his anniversary gift, six weeks of dance classes!! Honestly, I really do think he's excited (it's something he's talked about doing before I even thought of it!!). I told him it so we can win a dance competition on our cruise in September. So, let's just hope all our hard work pays off!!
