Amelia-isms

So as many of you know, our daughter is quite unique (aren't all kids?) So we thought we'd share a few of the latest "Amelia-isms" with you for your enjoyment.

Amelia has always been a picky eater, but now if we let her take her food under the table she will usually eat the whole meal. No joke. She likes to pretend she's a dog and eat under the table at our feet. No complaints from us, Brad and I can actually have a decent conversation this way.

Amelia loves to "hide," especially from chickens! One day a long time ago Brad taught her to hide under the covers in our bed. And since our bed is so much bigger than hers she loves to make a big tent and hide from the chickens. She'll run through the house yelling, "The chickens are coming," as loud and as fast as she can she'll run into our bedroom jump on the bed and dive under the covers.

Amelia loves to say "Hi" to everyone she sees like a happy bubbly little girl. But if they respond, well, that's a whole different story. If anyone so much as dares to say hello back to her she turns into that lovely two year old and yells at them.

Amelia will repeat herself over and over and over and over and over and over until you acknowledge what she's saying to you. For example, tonight we had the missionaries over for dinner and she kept telling them about the dinosaur with the long neck-over and over and over and over (the elder was in the middle of telling us a story) and as soon as he acknowledged her she ran off to play happy as could be.

And because Brad and I just love it when she's asleep, here is yet another photo of her sleeping. Yes, that's her snuggled up the scriptures. She loves taking books to bed and reading herself to sleep. Glad she's choosing good books.

I love the Ameliaisms! She is definitely unique in the best and funniest ways. I love your little sweetheart! I think my favorite one is the eating under the table and pretending she is a dog. That's so funny. Thanks for sharing.
