All About Ansel and Amalia. Monday, January 17, 2011. Amalia has learned to pull herself to standing and cruise along furniture this week. She has also figured out how to go from crawling to sitting up. Her crib is in our bedroom and in the morning when she wakes up, she stands up and makes all kinds of happy noises while staring at us. It is sweet to wake up and see her looking over at us. Links to this post. Sunday, January 16, 2011. We had fun Halloween adventures including a trip to a farm/pumpkin pa...

All About Ansel and Amalia. Monday, February 21, 2011. I decided that Ansel should have a kitchen to play with. He had a few kitchen items - play food, mini rolling pin. So Ansel and I bought some accessories at Urban Ore (recycled goods warehouse) and Jeremy bought some wood and made the design. It turned out well and Ansel has made lots of meals on it already!

All About Ansel and Amalia. Friday, January 13, 2012. Amalia at 21 months. I took the kids on a New Years Day hike up at the Inspiration Point trail. Not far along Ansel was ready to go back and Amalia wasn't happy being restrained to the Ergo. So we stopped for a snack. The weather was lovely, although windy. On the way home we stopped at the Tilden trains for a ride. Always eager for a photo. Why haven't we signed her up with a modeling agency yet? Heaven help us when the time comes! She can climb onto...

All About Ansel and Amalia. Monday, June 27, 2011. Summer Light and a Short Staycation. May is always a busy month with birthdays and the end of the school year. And to make it worse, the kids and I took turns being sick over a two week period. Ansel had it the worst with 5 days of fever. We all seem to be healthy now. Amalia much prefers a box to any toy. She even brought her food with her. Ansel and Jeremy have been taking advantage of the post-dinner light. Ansel got a spin on the ball a few times!

All About Ansel and Amalia. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Ansel has two new sayings. "You do that and then DINGO! What does Dingo mean? It is an expression. It means you do it really great" I'm paraphrasing here as I don't remember his exact words but that is the kind of thing he said. and he did say expression. we have been talking about expressions a lot, as in, "Ansel, I am going to kill you if you do that again." That one needed explaining. Bad mommy I know but sometimes. Links to this post. I wish I c...
