A day in our life...

Thought you'd like a sneak peak into our world. I work from home on our kitchen counter, so I can keep a watchful eye on Amelia. Now that she knows how to climb, she can easily hoist herself up on the couch below the counter.

I'm sure many of you have sweet pictures of your little ones on your desk. Well, imagine if those smiling faces could talk to you and you'll experience my work world.



Try responding to an important email with your daughter tapping on your keyboard, grabbing for your mouse, and inspecting your tempting USB connections, all the while saying "mama, mommy, mama, mommy, sticker, hippo" over and over again. Yikes!

We've had a busy few days, so I thought a low-key day around the house was in order. Amelia's access request has just been granted - she can now fully explore our hallway and has limited access to her room. Her play empire is slowly expanding.

This afternoon she came out of her room, squealing with delight. I couldn't stop laughing! Amelia had managed to find and put on her beach hat and new ladybug rain boots. What a combination!

She gets such a kick out of the ladybug's eyes on the boots... "eyes, eyes, EYES!" We have a talker on our hands.

The hat and boots are recent hand-me-downs from cousin Madeline. We love when surprise boxes land on our doorstep from Aunt Gina... they are always chock-full of goodies!

I'm afraid Amelia's first attempt at dressing herself would land her on the "don't" page of Glamour magazine. None-the-less, it provided many silly giggles between the Brinson girls.
