Fast friends: Amelia and Zora

In October, Zora came for a quick visit on her way to Europe. Amelia had a blast with her friend. She took her to the local park, shared her toys, and loved playing together.



Amelia and Zora made a good team on the trike. It looks like trouble ahead for these two girls!


Zora wanted to share everything and made sure that Amelia had enough snacks. Yes- Amelia is devouring Zora's snacks while Zora drinks and shares the milk!


Cute belly!

Very intent on Twigs

More updates to follow. We had a great visit with Zora the weekend that Luc returned and some cute pics of the girls.

Big shoes for a little girl to fill

We are in the final countdown until Luc gets home. Obviously these are old pictures since Luc is in them. But Amelia has been really into shoes lately and it reminded me that we have these super cute pictures to share. She has advanced from daddy shoes to mommy's strappy heels. They are more challenging, but she managed to get a few steps in them over the weekend.




I love how determined she looks. And then she just couldn't wait to start walking! She is going!

Who is that hiding in the tunnel?

Amelia had a great time getting to know her grandparents. I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have, but this series is just hilarious. No commentary needed!

The grandparents visit with Amelia

Amelia has been busy reading her books. She is studying the First 1000 words in French while Luc is away. She doesn't want her French to be rusty when he gets back.


Amelia's grandparents came up to spend some quality time getting to know her (and help me out while Luc is away). The visit was great. Amelia had a blast showing them her favorite things. We went to the park, the zoo, and all around town.








On Sunday we met Bonnie, Peter, and Sol at the Children's Museum. It was their last visit to Seattle before the baby is born. We had a blast at the Museum. Then we met Dane, Hannah, and Leo at the Moroccan restaurant, which turned out to be an interesting place for 3 toddlers. They were thoroughly enthralled by the belly dancers. SHe even let the kids play with her finger cymbals and encouraged them to dance. Cute. Plus it was the first meat that Amelia actually liked. She went crazy for the B'stilla. Luc would have been proud.
