Eating Yogurt

Amanda has started using a bowl & spoon for eating some of her food. Here she is enjoying one of her favorite messy snack.

Help Unload the Dishwasher

Amanda enjoys helping around the house, especially unloading utensils and dishes from the dishwasher. One of the many words she can say is "hot".

Climbing on Chair

This is Amanda's favorite thing to do now. She loves to climb onto her chair with a book, stand on the chair, then maybe sit down and read the book.

 

 

 

Bib

For some reason, she likes to put on her cloth bib, which she almost never use anymore, on herself. Amanda is very much in the "do-it-myself" stage.

 

Pillow

She thinks smothering me with the pillow is funny.

Halloween "costume"

 

For Halloween, Lucy was Helen Keller, Madeleine was Esmeralda, and Amanda was a "UCLA cheerleader".

Dallas

We finished our trip by staying with Chris and the rest of the Crawfords. We went to Six Flags, and AJ rode on her first rides. She didn't seem to think very much one way or the other of them.
 
 
 

We also went to a little farm and pumpkin patch. It was all fun and the Crawfords were great hosts!

 

Memphis

 
 
In Memphis, we went to the National Civil Rights Museum, which is housed in the hotel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot (it's the one Clare is standing in front of).

 
 
We also went to Graceland and the Stax Soul Music Museum, but no pictures are allowed there. We had the best BBQ ribs on the trip too.
