Heads Up

Amanda Jo is getting much stronger. She can control her head better now, and even lift it up a bit if you lay her on her tummy. She's also smiling a lot more now, but she cries a lot more too.

Dogpile

This is what the kids at Mi Casa (name of our building and our three households, for those who don't know) do best - play. At the bottom is Madeleine, Isaac, Lucy, Theo, then Amanda herself. Isaac's neck appears to be quite contorted and Amanda doesn't seem to enjoy the dogpile.

Google

Did you know that if you Google "Amanda Jo Crawford" this blog is number one? Crazy.

At my job, we just rolled out Rollick, which is a website for leisure activities, like cooking or tennis. Check it out. One main idea of the site is that it will eventually be the place to go for finding instructors, schools, and so on for whatever you are interested in.

Hanging Out At the Mall

This past Saturday, I hung out with Mommy and Auntie Annie at the Mall. It was fun to see all the new sights. Auntie Annie sat on the glider and held me while Mommy shopped for stuff at the store.

Yummy Fingers

Since discovering my hands, I have been licking and sucking my fingers whenever I can. Oh, and Daddy thinks it's real funny to prop me up with pillows.

Life at Home

As requested, here are pictures of Amanda with her parents.

Amanda & Theo

Our neighbors' kids really enjoy watching, holding and playing with Amanda. But Amanda doesn't like being held by Theo just yet.

Are You Talking About Me?

One of Amanda's many funny facial expressions.

Car Seat

It makes me happy to be outside in my car seat and get some snooze.

First On-Camera Smile

Amanda started to sport her big smiles in the last couple of weeks. However, it was impossible to capture on camera since she likes to stare at the black shiny thing in her face. But with some help from A-ma (Clare's Mom), we were able to distract her enough to get this big smile.
