Friends

Amrie got some good practice sharing her toys when little Naveen came over (with mom Arikka) and checked out the super-fun singing cube. "The Wheels on the Bus" seems to be a big hit with all the babies!

On the Move

Amrie is a pretty confident walker.

Our One-Year-Old!

Uh...Mom, why are these here?

The better to keep you out of the cupboards, my dear!

Last Swim Lesson!

Amrie did great during the 6-week parent/toddler swim class. For the last lesson, Dad came along, too!

Fuctional Creativity

After about the 5th bite of food, Amrie tends to become highly distracted. Travis came up with an ingenious way to get her attention. She thinks it hilarious, but it does the trick!

Ricotta Pancake Morning

Special treat to start off another snowy day.

Conquering the Stairs

We are thrilled that Amrie can now go down the stairs as safely as she can go up them. Feet first is so much better than head first!
