Corn!

Oh my, we haven't finished with the birthday party. I guess that is what happens when you are tracking typhoons and sitting in the open window. The good news is that we have a new camera to play with and took some really nice shots of Amelia this weekend. We are anxious to share them. Amelia has been a very adventurous eater. She seems to try just about everything we give her. Even better she likes most of it. She is constantly surprising me. Like today, we went to Monkey Bridge, this really great Vietnamese restaurant in Ballard, she tried everything we ate (curry, noodles, salad rolls, soup- yum!) and loved it. The woman at the table next to us even commented on how good she was eating. And tonight at dinner, she seemed to have eaten a good portion and only then did we pull out the grilled corn. She goes nuts for corn. Spits food out of her mouth to get the corn in her mouth. It reminded me of this picture we took in early July. One of her first times eating corn on the cob. Now it is her favorite.

These are some of the new pictures. Amelia testing out the shape and feel of the lime, before sinking her teeth in to see if she likes it.

Yesterday we went over to Craig and Joanna's for dinner and to play with Cara. They had a really good time together. Cara was so sweet with Amelia, patiently shared her toys, and showed off all her new gymnastics moves. Amelia is quite a good walker now. It really didn't take much. Not only can she easily walk across the room, she carries things- heavy things. At Cara's she found a baby doll and heavy wooden box that she liked, picked them up and carried them to show Cara. It was fun to see them together.
