Right off the bat was Justin's birthday on the 4th-but too bad for him Amaia and I were on an airplane to Colorado! Sad day :( So he went out and bought himself some nice new work clothes. Fun fun.
Amaia and I got to Colorado Thursday morning and my parents picked us up from the airport. We hung out with them for the day, and then we did the old switcheroo and got picked up by Justin's parents. We stayed the night there and the next day I flew home ALONE while Amaia got to stay with Justin's parents. I cried, like, the whole flight home.
Saturday morning Justin and I left for our cruise to Mexico (which you'll just have to wait until the next post to hear about, I'm not writitng a novel here).
When we got back, Justin's parents flew down with Amaia and stayed the weekend with us.
Two weeks later, Amaia and I are on our way back to Colorado to spend a few days with my parents. We had tons of fun: Denver Zoo, Butterfly Pavilion, playing in freshly fallen snow and making snowmen, and the rec center for some nice indoor swimming. It was tons of fun and great to get to hang out with my family since it's been like forever since we've seen them. Justin stayed home though, to work, since he's saving up as many vacation days as he can to help out when the new baby arrives.
And now for the monthly "Amaia Can..." recital :)
Every old person is 'Ma-maw' and 'Bamp-aw'; All of a sudden she's scared of everything. She used to love holding the cat from next door but now gets all skittery if it even gets close!; tylenol (ne-ne-nol); trampoline (win-o-ween); so apprently when Amaia was with Doug and Jo, they saw a horse and it sneezed at her. Now if you ask her what a horse says, she'll say "achoo!"; noodles (neenles); diaper (bidi-boo); when we sing "popcorn popping" she'll do all the actions, even doing the finger waggle before I get to the 'wasn't even so' part, and ask to sing it again by saying 'more pop'; says 'happy face' ; yogurt (eee-yote); if she sees something broken she'll tell me 'uh oh bote-it'; When she talks about her friend Hannah she will sign 'banana'; somehow she knew what music notes looked like, because one day she's taking off her diaper, looks down at it, and (pointing to the music notes) yells "minick!" (music); if the 3 of us do a group hug, Amaia will grab Justin and I behind the neck and make us kiss each other; she started signing 'train' when she asks for the tray to her high chair; we started Amaia on time out-she finally learned what was supposed to happen after she saw Jason's kids in time out when she was with Doug & Jo for the cruise-she calls it 'nigh-nout'; sometimes, if we say "amaia I'll send you to time out if you don't stop" she'll get up and stick herself in time out; started tickling people, or rather grabbing at their stomach with her bared claws; had a phase where she wouldn't take snacks out of my hand, I had to pour them into her hand straight from the container, which of course would make a mess everywhere; answered her first multiple choice question, wether or not she wanted the flower bracelet or the turtle one (she picked turtle); loves the 'i spy' game-she'll point out everything she can see: teddy, blankey, mommy, daddy, bed, diaper, etc (usually right after she wakes up) and if I don't repeat each one as she says it, she'll repeat it until I do; when i start setting the table for dinner, Amaia will run to Justin yelling "daddy boof!" (food); says boobies, Amaia bart (farted), boom! (when she falls), i poop, doesn't know her up from down still, uses "out" for out & off & down, duck (when she's stuck), neen nup (clean up) in a sing song voice just like the song goes, is starting to say sentences (3 words or more), dee dew (thank you), oh neh-ness (oh goodness), she's always wondering 'where'd (blank) go?', mine-uh (pajamas), money (bunny), bay-tin (raisins), dee dee dart (shopping cart), minick (music), eee-uhl (cereal), betty-bear (teddy bear), dying (when she's crying, or anyone else for that matter). She'll actually stop in a middle of a fit to tell me that she's crying (and she'll sign it) and as soon as I awknowledge it, she'll go right back to crying, ahn-ee (laundry), ah-wuhn (the other one, or another one), dee-deen (candy), says 'ummm' sometimes when you ask her a question, if she sees a bug it's "EEEEWWW bug!", if she burps, etc, she'll go "uh bee bee!" with a huge inflection on each syllable, dee duck (chapstick), butta-bye (butterfly), when we take pictures of her, she'll say EEEEE instead of 'cheese', every night in the shower Justin gets Amaia all soapy and gives her crazy hair styles-Amaia calls it "eh-duh-air" or crazy hair.
Ok I feel like that was way too much information for one go around. Soo...starting in MAY I'm going to try and do at least 2 posts per month. Maybe I'll even be like most people and do a post in the middle of the month if we do something of interest, instead of just waiting until the end of the month. Maybe. But for April you'll just have to tough it out with me one more time.
And I added captions to the pictures below so I didn't have to go through and explain them all this time :) Maybe I did that las time too, I can't remember. And if you can't see the pictures very well (since they're a little smaller because of the collage) you know you can always click on them to make them bigger :)
