Busy Little Bee

Amber has a book that I read to her and it is about a busy little bee. That book totally describes Amber and our weekend thus far.

Amber is now crawling and so she is everywhere! Her little chunky legs aren't so chunky anymore. I liked her little chunky legs :( However it is neat to see her move around and explore. Amber loves to explore and look at everything, she is my busy little bee!

Our weekend has been very busy and it's not over yet. Friday night was Ricky's brother's high school graduation. The graduation of course doesn't provide a nursery (but what a good idea if they did) so we were a little nervous at how Amber was going to do. And of course, we were sitting on the 3rd row! So everyone would see us get up a walk out with her if we needed to. Before it started she was really talkative and excited. We were a little worried. As soon as the speaker started speaking and it began she got silent :) I was amazed. It lasted for a little while and clapping for different things confused her so it made her silent then. She did have some moments of squeals  and noises. Such a happy baby! But thank goodness for Gerber's puffs!! Those things did the trick when we needed her quiet. She probably ate about 20 of them! :)

Saturday we drove all the way to Enid Lake to spend the day with Ricky's family. They are camping and we thought about trying it but then we decided to just stay for the day. Amber as a trooper! She is definitely an outdoorsy  little girl! Which I'm happy about because this family likes to camp! She did get a little messy, just with dirt and things stuck in between her little toes and just all over sticky. How little babies can be. Thankfully I had brought a little extra onsie with me so we gave her a bath before we headed home. She slept all the way home and then I just transferred her to the bed. Worked great! Today, Sunday, I think we are just going to church and then going to just chill. Have some downtime! But for tomorrow we are going to hang out with family again and go swimming and cook out!

Busy Little Bee, Busy Little Bee, That's Me!

AND.....

Swim Time

Early this evening Ricky and I took Amber swimming at his parents house. It was her first time to swim. I bought a float where she sits on one side and I can float with her on the other side. It really wasn't all that crazy hot today and by the time we ate dinner the pool was in the shade so the water was very chilly! All in all we probably stayed in the pool about 15 min. However tomorrow is suppose to be pretty hot and we are planning on trying it again. Amber seemed to enjoy herself so it was a success!

On a side note: Amber officially started crawling yesterday 5/21/10. My life is fixing to be a whole lot different!!! Although today she was sitting on the floor but I had her on a mat and she was playing with toys and I was getting ready. I think she thought she couldn't get off the mat. She never crawled away and when I toy when off the mat she would just reach for and if she couldn't get it she moved on to something else. :) So no crawling then. 

1st Mother's Day!

Today I celebrated my first Mother's Day! It was wonderful! When I went in to get Amber this morning there were some flowers and a photo frame on her dresser for me! I picked her up and showed them to her and she just smiled like she knew what she and daddy did the night before :)

The rest of the day after church was spent at home with family and a wonderful lunch. I am so thankful for my mom and I'm so blessed to be a mother.

Now....what to get for....Father's Day!! :)
