Early Christmas in Arizona

We had a wonderful time in Arizona visiting "Boppa" (Grandpa Bob), Jan, Auntie Anne, Uncle Carl, cousins Nathalie and Carter, and Uncle "Noons" (Uncle Don). Amara was SO excited to play with Nathalie and Carter and to explore Boppa's house. She has been perfecting her crawl which is more of a fast scoot with her right foot on the ground. So cute! Amara has been talking in baby language and has sooo much to say! We wish we could understand it all. She also has 6 teeth now. Her front two teeth are coming in nicely. We love to see her smile. Sometimes she tilts her head back and smiles a wide grin when she knows her photo is being taken. In Arizona we enjoyed a lot of play time (reading books, playing with play silks, and climbing on a large stuffed dog named Floppy). We also had a fun outing at Tohona Chula where we saw holiday lights, art, and live music. Amara's favorite was watching a trio of fire dancers. Amara and Mom stayed a couple extra days to spend some one-on-one time with Boppa. We went out to dinner at Olive Garden and Jerry Bob's. Amara tends to get a lot of attention in public places because she is so cute and expressive. She loves to wave and say "bye" to people. Precious!
