The Amelia and Daphne Blog

A walk.

Today to get out of the house for a while, we went up the street. It is a fairly new thing in Amelia’s doings. “I go see neighbors?”. Yesterday evening she went up the street with me to watch an America’s Got Talent song show by three elementary school aged girls. Today we took a walk. Amelia strapped on her bike helmet and mostly carried/pushed, sometimes scooted, her bike up the street.

We slowly made it most of the way to the top when she saw “STOP Sign!”, one of her current favorite things. Here she is with the one on the other side of the intersection. She even got to touch it.

We stopped for a while as she sat on the curb and took a Saltine break. Life is sweet and slow with an almost 2-year old.

There were two good things about this walk.
She loves to wear her bike helmet. It took a while. This is probably due to age, and seeing the neighbors wearing theirs when they all scoot and ride around the cul-de-sac in the evening.
And I put Daphne in the baby bjorn carrier even though she’s 6 pounds and it says minimum 8 pounds. She did fine (sleep sleep sleep) and it makes life a lot cosier and easier to manage with a 2 year old.

Daphne’s life is all about eating, sleeping and pooping, and she is good at all three. She is starting to wake up sometimes for her meals- about every 3 hours. She grunts and wiggles now as she gets hungry.

    Sure looks good in that helmet. I never thought about Stop Signs as being cool things. Red Octogons are everywhere with their simple message!
