Sixteen months

We have been busy at the Dawidowicz house having fun! Amara continues to delight by making us laugh with her playful sense of humor. She finds new ways to play with her toys (often talking to them or pretending to talk on a phone) and new ways to play and talk with us! One of the cutest things she does is say "Happy, happy!". She learned this word by watching the Pharrell Williams dance video. This is her favorite song! She also uses the word to let us know when she is pleased with something. Amara says a new word every day, it seems. She can say "butterfly, avocado, eat, more...." to name a few. When she really wants something she will make the sign for "more" and say the word several times. Cousin Nathalie did the same thing around this age. Last week we spent in Encinitas at Grandma Patty and Grandpa Hamid's place. Amara and Mommy enjoyed lots of beach time and saw cousin Pattyann and her kids. Daddy had to work but he enjoyed seeing Amara excited in a new environment. This girl loves to travel! Since she is getting ready to walk on her own, Amara picked out her first pair of shoes recently. Light pink moccasins -- great style, kid!

She loves muffins and feeding herself with a spoon!

She loves the beach!
