Hi there,
This past month we spent most of our time outside. We love our swing and Amy’s swing set and use it daily. It is so nice that we can finally walk to places and don’t need to use the car all the time. I love walking and missed it so much. I didn’t think I will need the stroller once Amy turned 1, but after 2 years, we started to use it again. : ) Since we try to walk everywhere we go, it would be way too much for Amy and she enjoys the ride in her stroller. She sings and talks during our walks and waves at almost everyone. I love listening to her and spending some time with her this way.

I recently started to do various crafts with her (should have done that a long time ago), and she loves them! I try to come up with different ideas to spend quality time with her before Baby #2 comes. We went to a Barnes and Noble’s children event this past Saturday and she seemed to enjoy it a lot. Every Saturday the bookstore has “storytime” for preschoolers and then they do a craft. I am planning on going weekly, and hopefully we will make new friends there. There’s also another (similar) program for her age at the public library, here in Terre Haute starting next month. Hopefully we can attend those, too.

We love to see how Amy is growing and maturing. She is such a sweetheart! She “reads” stories to her baby sister (holding an imaginary book and making up the story as she goes). She is getting very good at making up stories, I am impressed!
The other day as I put the playard together to see where the baby’s bed would fit, she went to the playard and said, “there is a whole!” I went to see what she means and asked where the whole was. She replied, “There is a whole… The baby is missing!” I love her so much! : )
She has a great heart and says the funniest things sometimes. She reminds me of the stories I heard about Chris, when he was her age. : )
Amy loves the fact that daddy is home all the time and that she can play with daddy so much. They are so sweet together.
We eagerly await Baby #2’s arrival (in about three and a half months)! All prayers are greatly appreciated! 🙂
Have a wonderful month!
