"Nuff."

At twenty months old, Miss Amelia is enjoying her many summer bike rides with her dad, reading stories to her "babies" & beloved stuffed monkey, and doing "joga" (yoga) from a book she has fallen in love with from the library. She has also been working on her counting and letter recognition (she can count to ten, sometimes higher.. and we guess that she can recognize about half of her letters) and absolutely loves puzzles. She talks (ALL. THE. TIME.) and still sleeps well at night, though her daytime nap has dwindled to a 20-minute rest. Her mom wishes this were a little longer lately, as she is getting more tired as the weeks pass in her pregnancy!

As Amelia's weeks of being an only child are well into the single digits, she has been pulling out all of the stops to ensure that her presence is known. She wants to snuggle with her mom at ALL times, and has even been waking up at 5am daily to come into bed with mom&dad for a few hours of extra cuddling time. This morning, she crawled over to her sleeping mom and laid her cheek down right on top of mom's face and went back to sleep.

If you ask her if mom&dad's baby is a boy or girl, the answer is always "no."

Her latest favorite thing has been cantaloupe. After watching dad cut one a few weeks ago, Amelia started to eat pieces by the handful. As juice from the melon went everywhere and her mouth was overflowing with fruit, she attempted to put another piece in. Mom said, "Amelia. Just one or two pieces at a time. That's enough."

Hearing her loud and clear, she repeated: "Nuff."

She finished what was in her mouth and on her tray, and then said, "More nuff please." :)

The nickname (?) stuck and she loves to pick out a "Nuff" at the grocery store and enjoy it for breakfast or in a smoothie whenever she has the chance!
