Amelia Takes On the World

Did you all know mom & dad were taking me to the woods for Memorial Day weekend?  I had a great time!  We stayed at Kaykay and Grandpa Joe’s cabin, and I got to play with them and their dog Zuey.  I loved Zuey – I would giggle at her as she tried to lick me all the time.  Mom & Dad got a hiking backpack to take me around – we went on two hikes!  They took turns carrying me, but I had a great time.  I loved looking around and commentating on the scenery.  I did decide to take a nap during one of the hikes – what can I say, it was comfy.  Mom & dad claim their backs don’t hurt from carrying me, so maybe they’ll take me again. We also decided to try and take some pictures of me in front of the pretty pond and flowers – mom was worried I’d roll into the pond so she decided to join me too.  You can see what I thought of that – I was being a little stinker and trying to make sure they captured my tongue in the photographs.  However, they managed to catch me smiling too – oh well.  At least the scenery was beautiful.   I turned ten months old on Saturday and decided to celebrate by pulling myself to standing for the 1st time – I can do it as long as whatever I’m pulling on is lower to the ground – still haven’t mastered the taller things yet.  I’m also figuring out how to cruise once I am standing, its very exciting.  I also got my first taste of deli meat for lunch and tonight mom & dad gave me freshly grilled zucchini.  I love finger foods!

Thanks Kaykay and Grandpa Joe (and Zuey) for having us visit for the weekend, we had a great time and I can’t wait to come back for July 4th.  Maybe I’ll try to catch one of those fish in the pond.

Love,

Amelia
