Camera Shy

Amy loves to play "The Hand Game" as we call it. She laughs, squeals and smiles when we play this game and last night was no different! I was singing to her and wiggling her arms and she was REALLY loving it, that is until Alphonso got out the video camera to capture the adorableness on film. It was like as soon as she saw the video camera she was DONE with the game. It was hilarious.

SeaWorld!

This week Amy visited SeaWorld with her Aunt Caitlin, Grandpa Leon, Grandma Carol and me. I was prepared for her to be a grumpy butt all day, but to my surprise she was cheerful and really seemed to enjoy the day! She was quiet and spent the whole day just taking in her surroundings. She would nap, but then as soon as a show would start she would be WIDE EYED and listening with everything she had in her. I had a lot of fun, I hadn't been to SeaWorld in years! It was very overcast and cool all day long, so when Caitlin, Leon and I rode Atlantis, and got soaking wet, we were cold the rest of the afternoon. The ride was worth it though.
Amy did finally have a meltdown at the very end of the day while we were walking to the car, Caitlin was laughing at my poor baby's screaming while I was begging my mom to make her stop! I was powerless in the driver's seat. They will pay for their insolence, perhaps a poopy diaper will come in handy... (evil laughter)

A Mexican Tradition

We decided to honor the Mexican tradition of infant ear piercing today! We took a very cheerful and well rested Amy to the mall to get her ears done, she handled it rather well.... Here she is before the fateful event:

Here is how she reacted:

Because her head is so large, its difficult to take a photo showing both earrings at the same time. So here is a view of her pretty earring once we were home and she was calm:


She looks so cute with her pretty earrings and we are glad we put her through this misery now instead of when she is old enough to remember and cry louder...
