26 months

Today is Thanksgiving and Amelia is exactly 26 months-old. I am so very thankful for her.

We spent a wonderful day with Nana's side of the family. It was a great day of food & fun. Most of them hadn't seen her in two years when we first brought her for Thanksgiving 2005 at the tender age of 2 months. She has changed a lot since then!

After greeting everyone she took her afternoon nap and then came out to play some more. She discovered it was great fun to take the yellow child sized chair and push it down the two steps into the back room where most of the folks were. First she would declare, "Yellow chair fall down steps!" Then the push. Then the huge smile, a little dancing and clapping before descended the steps, lifting the chair, pushing it to the kitchen and back, and repeating. She also did her happy dance for and along with Scott, ate turkey and pumpkin pie, and was downright charming before we headed south for a couple of hours to a hotel. She kissed Aunt Ruthie and Jackie good-bye, and they loved it.
