We had a lot of fun this weekend. And, our baby girl is providing more and more amusement each day. This weekend she started a few new skills. She now snorts when she laughs. This cracks her up even more, so she just keeps laughing and snorting. It is really quite hilarious! The other thing she started is saying yeehaw or hee haw, not sure which one, but she was walking around all day yesterday saying one of those words.
Tonight, we went outside to play a little bit. Well, Amelia has watched mommy push the irrigator heads back in the ground, and tonight they were sticking up so she wanted to push them in herself. She went to the first, pushed it with her foot, and we applauded her like she had really done something special. So, she went to other one that tends to stick up, and without much effort pushes it in. So, cute to watch this little girl grow up! But, then she sits down and starts crying and rubbing her foot. What I was afraid had happened actually did happen. There was a little mound of fire ants and she stepped right in them. Luckily it wasn't nearly as bad as we know it could have been. But, they did get her foot a few good times. It broke my heart for her. One got me too so I know how bad it hurt. She is such a big girl though. Cried just for a few seconds and then she was over it. Me on the other hand was looking up fire ant bites and treatment terrified she would have some type of allergic reaction. Needless to say, she is fine. Luckily daddy is the chemical specialist so those ants will not be getting my little girl again!
Lastly, we had a little visitor on Saturday. We were heading outside, standing at the door, when I felt something fall down my arm. I looked down, and there is a little baby lizard on the floor. I start yelling for Drew, and that thing crawled under the couch before he could hardly have time to reach for it. I've been thinking about that lizard ever since. Well, tonight, we are headed upstairs for bath time and bedtime and when we reach the top of the stairs that lizard takes off running. I don't know why they like Amelia's room. We found one wrapped in a blanket in her room last year. Luckily, daddy is home and he caught the lizard. He returned it to its home outside. Poor thing lost its tail in the process, but at least he is still alive!
