amelia

who would have thought that a one year old would want to be so much like her sister. i am constantly amazed at how much she strives to do what kate is doing, but also by how vastly different she is. for example, at train town, the little train take you for a ride, then stops at a "town" where you can get off and explore and also feed some farm animals. both times we've gone (this being the second) kate has had no interest in feeding the animals due to fear. amelia, on the other hand, walks right up to the HUGE sheep, sticks out her hand, and lets him eat right out of her hand without a second thought. amelia, also unlike kate, will climb on ANYTHING. she can get herself on almost any chair, bench, table, you name it. kate just doesn't have any interest in being high up. i'm just always so amazed at how different my girls are, but also think that it is so fun to see them starting to interact and wondering what they will be like in 5 years, and ten. what will they like, what will they dislike, who will be their friends? we haven't done anything differently with the two of them, and yet they are completely different. i guess it's God's way of making sure we trust instead of getting comfortable in what we are doing:) the picture of amelia dressing up was all her idea. she "asked" me to help her put the shoes on and would bring them to me if they fell off. i think we have another princess on our hands:) (please don't think we let her hang out like this all the time-it was 104 degrees at our house and she was hot).
