Wow! Another month has passed and we have been so busy! Amaree was asked to be the Ambassador for the March of Dimes Eastern Region so we went to a few fund raising events and told her story. We did the jail & Bail events for both Roosevelt and Vernal.

The Jail & Bail event in Roosevelt

I was in a play for Altamont Longhorn Days and that was taking a lot of time. It was a fun little melodrama, and I have forgotten how much fun that can be! Here I am:

Amaree is so mobile now! Still not crawling, but today I caught her grabbing the carpet pulling herself while kicking her feet. She also rolls herself and scoots to get where she wants. Andrew has been trying to teach her to crawl.

Go, Go Go!

This is what it looks like. It is so funny to watch. Jake, my BIL says that it counts as crawling. But here is something that is truly remarkable. If you have ever seen anything like it, let me know:

Isn't that amazing?

Amaree did something today that she has never done before. I put her down to play with some toys while I finished getting ready for work. I was blow drying my hair and I could hear her crying. She was really loud so I turned off the dryer and went to check on her. She had followed me across the room and into the hallway. I think that once she got to the hall she was unsure about where I was. I was just so surprised that she knew where I went and then followed me across a room and into a hall.

Amaree has gotten herself into a tight spot!

The other fun thing that we did was we had portraits done. Amaree was so cute! If you want to see some of our pictures, you can see them at Heroes Photography. Not all of our pictures are there yet, but the ones that are there are really fun. There should be some more of Amaree and Andrew.

I also want to give a shout out to our Nurses from the NBICU. I have heard from a few of you and I want everyone to know how amazing you are and how I still think about you and still admire all the hard work you have done. Thanks again for all the work you do and for the miracles that you give.
