Homebody

Tyler's transmission went out, so we are officially a 1 car family again. The Bonnie is just chilling in the street in front of the house. What that means:

1. I stay home all day
2. I get up before 7am to drive Tyler to work and pick him up

I prefer option number 1, but staying at home all day gets boring. It is better than waking Amelie up, feeding and changing her, driving to Eagan, then hopefully getting her back to bed when we get home. Then waking her from her afternoon nap to go pick him up. Dreadful timing for something like this to happen though.

Yesterday, Abby and Sam came over and kept us company. We walked up to CoraZon, a little store near my house, and browsed around. They both fell asleep on the walk home.

They played on the floor together, Sammy kept trying to steamroll Ami. She took it in stride and just sucked on his fingers. This happened several times.

She learned to roll over from her back to her tummy yesterday. Her arm got stuck under her and she would roll back over after a few seconds, but today she figured out how to roll all the way over and get that arm out of the way. She did it twice. It was awesome. I called Tyler and he pointed out to me that she is now officially a danger to herself. Now she can steamroll Sam.


She fell asleep today while eating and I tried to move her to the floor for a mini-nap. Didn't work. I did, however, snap this photo of her stretching out after a good meal. She's so funny, always stiff as a board. I can hold her parallel to the ground, she just stiffens up her body. She's so strong. She has an incredible grip too. It's actually quite painful. She grabs onto my face, neck, hair and anything else she can get a hold of. She will probably be able to bend steel bars pretty soon. Supergirl.

Our garage sale was a success. Lots of work but worth it. We made just over $1100, same as last year. West River Parkway is the best location for a garage sale ever.
