<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dear Amelia,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My apologies about the amount of time it has taken me to write this, but again...you don’t know that! As I write this, you are closer to 4 (how is that even possible?). I’m so glad I keep notes on my phone and have ALL THE PICTURES to reminisce about the year you went from two to three. I will say this: you are a force. You feel deeply, you know what you want, you are kind and cute and funny and oh-so-brave. It’s something to behold. We love you so stinkin’ much!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You got really into princesses and girly stuff! I’ve been so used to cars, trains, and trucks (which you still play with), I had to remember how to play girly! You are very “No! Me do it.” Which is really cute unless you really can’t do it, then it creates a meltdown, but we survive. You now LOVE lemonade (and any drink really - tea, coffee, juice, kombucha) and adore to change cups all day long. You asked if lemonade was in my mommy milk, ha! You also love shoes. You notice them in stores, on other little girls, and just like to wear them around the house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You started sleeping with blankets and one of them is my baby blanket. While Oliver’s favorite is Monkey, you don’t care. Any animal is fine. You also would throw them out of your crib instead of napping. Then you’d fuss to see if I’d come get them for you. I WON, ha! You eventually stopped doing that.</span></div>

You still call Summer, Yummah. After we left, you not only officially got out of the pack ‘n’ play, but you stopped asking for Mommy Moot. I wasn’t ready, but so glad I let you say when.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh, my sweet boy. As I type this, I'm listening to the music I would play a lot when it was just you and me playing upstairs in the old house. It is taking me back and there's a lump in my throat from just how fast this is all going. Mothering you is a joy, it is hard, it is a blessing. </span><br />

I told you just how much I love you and I wish you wouldn't grow so fast, but that it is a joy to see you get big! Well, you started crying, too, and asked, <i>"Will you still hold me when I'm 5?"</i> 100% YES, my boy. Always. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You really started to like coloring and holding pens and pencils better! Workbooks are so fun for you and that's kind of what we did for preschool. We also started working on saying your Ls and you caught on so fast! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started singing Fishing in the Dark and you loved it immediately. You know every word. That song will now forever remind me of lying in bed with you at night. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our yard had lots of ladybugs and for a long time you were scared to touch them. Well, you conquered that fear and started to seek them out on the big tree in the middle the backyard. Ladybug and <i>"lowly worm"</i> (earth worm) hunting filled lots of our days. You still love to dig in sand, mud, dirt, rocks. Kinetic sand, oobleck, moonsand. Whatever! It's a favorite. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One day, you made a wish while blowing on a dandelion. I asked what you wished for and you replied, <i>"That God keeps the people safe and makes them happy and joy." </i>Your first VBS (which you called - and still call - PBS) was a blast for you. (I cried when I dropped you off the first day because I am a crazy person.) We'd sneak in the back during the end and it was fun to see how you act when we're not around. Just as I suspected: class clown. You love to make other kids laugh...usually using physical humor. Going to other churches and classes all the time does not phase you. You still get butterflies (I do, too), but a lot of times, you come out saying you taught kids how to do something. <i>"I taught the other kids how to camouflage."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We started learning memory Bible verses and your mind baffles me. You catch on so quickly and are up to 8 or 9 verses. Sometimes you make up your own. Ha! That's not how it works, but it's cute anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The hardest thing for me, as a mama, was to see you so sad after we left Nashville. I did not expect that since we've always left. You felt it, though. You knew you weren't going to be living next to your best bud. You cried off and on for a couple weeks and you still cry from time to time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The things that come out of your mouth are astounding and hilarious and wise beyond your years. Here's some </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">quotes, some questions, some words said in your own way:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And looootttttts of quotes about your private. But to respect you, I'll leave those off this post and email them and have them in a special folder for when you turn 18. My word. 🙈😅</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oliver Tuck, you really are special. Your sensitivity and brilliant mind are amazing. You can tell if someone is upset. If I'm having a bad mommy day, you are quick to cuddle me and say, <i>"Mommy, I love you."</i> You make friends extremely easily which is a trait I pray you always have. I love you so much it hurts and am SO PROUD to be your mommy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Remember: Don't eat your boogers.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

You liked to just carry around bags or purses and stuff them with all kinds of things. Napping became a challenge. You were just too interested in playing, I guess. We could not turn our backs, you loved to sweep and clean, and always wanted the trash can closed. If I gave you a washcloth, you just walked around wiping everything down. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After doing some research on particle board, I quickly realized I was going to need to spend the money on good primer. Usually when I craft or DIY, I try to take the cheapest way out and cut corners, but this was not one of those times. It ended up needing 2 coats of primer which was 2 spray cans and was my most expensive purchase...about $8 worth. And I didn't get a picture of those steps.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the primer dried, I just used the green paint I had on hand and applied 2 more coats. Trent cut out a hole for the bowl sink and PVC pipe faucet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dear Oliver,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm just starting this letter and I'm already crying. My sweet, sweet boy...how did we get so lucky? And why are our years with you speeding up? I often ask you, <i>"Why are you getting so big? Can you just stay little for me?"</i> Without skipping a beat, you answer, <i>"No, Mommy! Because I'm going to be a daddy."</i> 💙</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As bittersweet as it is, we absolutely adore watching you grow and soak up the world around you. Seeing you learn and <i>how</i> you learn is amazing and you are soooo smart! Your personality is really starting to shine; you are so funny!! And you looooove to make other kids laugh. And when you do something funny, they will follow and do it, too. Use that gift for good, my dear. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You really started getting into music. You started recognizing the melodies and asking if the singer was sad. Our Footloose record became a favorite and you love the "robot sound" on Hero. (You have quite the ear.) Your imagination started including conversations between whatever you were playing with and it's THE BEST. One day I was having a hard mama day and was crying. You said, <i>"don't be sad. Do you want to listen to soft music? Here, hold this ball; it'll make you feel better."</i> You also told me I got my armpit hair from Daddy. Hahahahaha!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You love outside so we try to spend A LOT of time out there. Towards the end of the year, you started running around the house all by yourself and meeting us back in the back. It's fun to let you spread your wings here and there. I pray those wings always bring you back home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You learned to use the potty this year!!! You rocked it, as you do. It took pretty much 2 days. And to this day, I've only had to wash your sheets twice and that was the first week. We actually cried the first time you pooped in the potty (on day 1) because we are your crazy parents and we cry at everything. The whole process went so quickly, I seriously have one picture of you on your potty. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You're still into trains, although it's slowing down, and you still love you some Hot Wheels. When your daddy and I talk about how fast it's going, we often bring up how sad it will be when we don't have toys to pick up, specifically those little cars that hurt our feet. And then we cry our ugly cries and feel better. Or maybe we feel sadder? Who knows. We just love you so much!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You went through a phase of wanting to start the night in our bed. We let you. And it was so sweet! And you still get to from time to time. Daddy and I have different things we do with you at bedtime. You and him always sing Blackbird, Jesus Loves Me, and Jesus Loves the Little Children and then you pray. I usually do books, but I change up my songs. (I like to keep you guessing and letting you make your requests.😉) One of your new faves is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmNo-IcMt3s" target="_blank">If Tomorrow Never Comes</a> (but we call it Sometimes Late at Night). You also make lyrical changes. Ha! AND you and I have our games: Puppy Dog Hug, Smell Game Feet, Cheek Game, 806 Game (that's where you tell me my phone number!), and Smell Game Hands, and I always say <i>"You're my favorite best boy!"</i> And you tell me, <i>"And you're my favorite best mommy." </i>💙</span></div>

That night, you saw a poster of one of the Titan players with a helmet on. You said, <i>"Daddy! Look at that astronaut." </i>It's one of our favorite stories OF ALL TIME. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blogs seem to be a dying art. Not that Manic Mondays was ever <i>art. </i>I'm still documenting our road life because one day, I might want to reminisce. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back in March, we had a few shows. I look back at pictures and cannot get over what a difference 7 months makes! Time is a funny thing. Some days I want it to speed up. Other days I want it to slow down. But, it remains steady. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it's been over a month since I've blogged and the next one on my list is from February! Whoops. It's a fun one, though, because we got to do a Texas tour with <a href="http://mercyme.org/" target="_blank">MercyMe</a> and <a href="http://www.micahtyler.com/" target="_blank">Micah Tyler</a>. What a memory for us (and my helpful mama).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you remember, we had to <a href="http://justanothermanicmonkday.blogspot.com/2017/08/snow-shows-falling-down-stairs-and-barf.html" target="_blank">cancel the Amarillo opening slot</a> due to Trent's voice being nonexistent. But then, we were able to join up for 10 shows! Once we got the word, I called my mom and she worked with her schedule so she could come on the road with us. What a blessing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the past, Trent has been on several big tours. I have not, so I was excited/curious/nervous about what all would happen. Mostly, just hoping our kids would adapt to a different schedule. Our shows are usually early in the evening and we're back to the hotel before 9. The upcoming nights would be late, the kids would be with my mom a lot, and Amelia would be taking more bottles. Plus, Trent's voice wasn't 100%. With all that weighing on us, I'm not sure we FULLY sat back and enjoyed the moment. It was a first for this mama's heart.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've played in Midland a few times and thanks to our contacts there, we were able to find a nice home (with toys and plenty of room) to stay for the night. People really are so generous. It was great for my mom to hang back and have space for the kids to play and keep their schedule somewhat normal. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My takeaways from this tour:</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- WHAT A BLESSING. We hadn't *yet* had this opportunity as a duo and we were (and are) so appreciative.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- We couldn't have done it without my mom. She took off work, bought hotel rooms, bought a plane ticket, and smiled the whole time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It was really hard. It was a different pace than we're used to, plus the whole pumping thing. BUT still so fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Trent's vocal issues were stressful and he was never 100%. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- I got to meet the MercyMe guys and Trent got to reconnect with them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- We got to meet (and listen to and enjoy) Micah Tyler. Turns out, he was a Monk and Neagle fan! #smallworld</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most importantly...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We gained new fans and were able to share a little bit of our story. We gave and received some encouragement along the way and for that, we are thankful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found a crib spring bed frame thing (???). My original plan was to spray paint it and use it on our merch table. You know, hang CDs on it. We did it a couple times, but it's just too cumbersome. It now hangs in our room with pictures. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We left Arkansas and stopped in Oklahoma to see Honey Lue and Grandad Larry. Just for one night, but it was a sweet time. The next morning, we made our way to Amarillo and we were so excited to get to open for MercyMe! Trent felt ok about his voice...was trying not to talk and drinking throat coat and eating throat lozenges. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I could tell you we did amazingly well at the MM show. I wish I could tell you Trent's voice was 100%. That's not the case. We got to the church and all set up. Trent went to sing at sound check and it was just a bunch of squeaks. It was heartbreaking to watch and not pretty to hear. In all his years of doing this (15+) he's lost his voice TWICE. And this was one of those times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We left the church and went to his mom's house to do a steam treatment as a last ditch effort and it was there where we learned Oliver was throwing up back at PawPaw and GiGi's house. Can you say under attack?!? We made the tough decision to cancel the show. Trent talked to the guys and apologized. They, of course, were understanding and said to come to any other show we wanted! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I seriously cannot remember the last time it was just Oliver and me going somewhere. <i>For fun.</i> I took him to the dentist a couple months ago, but that's about it. And that's not fun, let's be honest. Before then, I'm pretty sure the last time was before Amelia was born. Our lifestyle (and life in general right now) doesn't lend itself to a lot of one on one time with either kid. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are times I really miss my boy. I used to have all the time in the world to play with just him. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, I ADORE my Amelia. But whoa is she needy. I feel like all day every day I'm dealing with her and getting onto Oliver for something. I try to sit and play with him and The Girl crawls on me, breaks our train tracks and lego cities, or wants to nurse. All. Day. Long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My point: it was time for a mother/son re-boot. He needed a haircut and I had a coupon. So, we threw in yogurt and a trip to Target and called it a date. I might've been more excited than him. I took pictures, but didn't get on my phone so I could be present with my sweet boy. I can't wait for the next one. I love him so. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My sweet baby boy turned three (waaaaaaay back in December) and today, he's 3 1/2! We were, of course, on the road, so there was no party, but we tried to make it special.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The table next to us was eating during our "party." Once they were finished, they got up and handed Oliver $10. It was so sweet!!! The lady said, <i>"We didn't know it was your birthday!"</i> Which is adorable. That meant, Oliver got to buy 2 new trucks at truck stops that day. We rarely let him get toys on the road, so that was a big treat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Funny story. I ordered a remote control helicopter for Trent but it didn't make it in time. I was bummed, but thought it would still be fun to open after the fact. Nothing wrong with a late Christmas gift, right? He still had another gift from me to open and one from Travis, too. He opened the gift from Travis and what was it? A remote control helicopter. What. Are. The. Odds??? 😂</span></div>

Not going down that road."</i> Because there was NO WAY this party was going to look like those parties, so I just went with pink and gold and white and called it a day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found an old spring for a crib on the side of the road (we use it for merch sales) and I pinned all my favorite pics from her first year onto it.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You started lying on a pillow to play like you're going to sleep, picking up a baby doll (and any stuffed animal), putting it on your shoulder and patting it. Such a mama thing to do!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You get really angry if we tell you no or take something away. 😬 Oliver is a rough and tumble boy, so naturally you are tough, too. You can take tumbles, bump your head, or fall down and you get right up, almost as if it didn't happen. You did have your first bloody lip, though. I can't remember what happened, and you've had a couple more since then 🙈, but you didn't cry long. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dearest Amelia,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will be <b>ONE</b> tomorrow. At 9:11 AM, on April 11, 2017, you will be a whole year old. I honestly don't even know how that can be. The past year has gone so, so fast it's truly hard to believe. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm so thankful for you and our strong bond. I'm proud of your strength, determination, toughness, and sweet spirit. I'm honored to be your mama and I hope we are always close. Though I'm not crying yet, I know I will. You are probably my last baby and that is a sad thing for me to accept. I struggle with toddlers, if I'm being honest, and you are getting oh so close to being one. Although, I <i>have</i> learned some things having done this with your brother.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The past year, I made sure I held you longer, rocked you more, let you sleep with us, nursed you whenever, let you stumble, let you climb, let you explore. I wasn't as worried about schedules and this-and-that as I was with your brother. So, maybe I'll handle your defiant toddler years a bit better than I have with him. Bless it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As hard as it is to say goodbye to the baby stage, I'm so excited. To watch you grow, continue to learn, and see your spunky personality blossom is a joy. I'm blessed to spend every day with you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I pray you will <i>always</i> find your identity in Jesus, I hope you are <i>always</i> brave and kind, and I trust you will <i>always</i> know just how special and how loved you are. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are one of a kind, sweet Amelia. Thank you for being my baby girl! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I literally had to look back at our calendar to see what we did in November and December. I thought maybe I wouldn't blog about it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You went through a phase of taking drinks of water and then immediately spitting it out on yourself and laughing. STINKER. There's also a new thing you're doing. While I hold you, we hug Daddy. You'll lean in and put your head on him, then push him away and pat me. It's as if you're saying, "This is <i>my</i> mama."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you're told "no" or something is taken away, you can throw a fit. Sometimes, you'll fall to the ground, bury your head, and cry. We laugh at you, I'm so sorry to say. It's just so dramatic! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being confined in any way makes you very upset. You love to walk around and explore. But, we gotta do it sometimes. You love being upstairs and playing because you can roam free. Your interest in dolls is growing and it's so cute. You pick them up (and stuffed animals, too) and pat them on their back. Oliver's monkey is your favorite and he'll let you borrow it from time to time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time continues to speed up and I'm really trying to soak it all in! Your little personality is starting to blossom and bloom and it is a joy to see.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">My sweet, darling, most favorite very best boy. I'm already crying. It is bitter sweet to watch you grow. Seeing you learn, develop, understand, ask questions, laugh, do big boy things...it's wonderful. But, it also means you are no longer a baby. Sometimes, I'll catch a glimpse of your baby face and chubby cheeks. Rubber band wrists and paci-shaped teeth. Shaggy hair. But your appearance is changing right before our eyes. (Though we still let your hair get shaggy from time to time.) </span></div>

Looking back at a year's worth of pictures <i>reeeeeeaaaaaalllllly</i> makes it sink in just how fast this whole thing is going. I'm am so, so proud God chose ME to be your mama. I'm honored to do this with you. We are both learning. You, my dear, are a great teacher. Thank you for forgiving me quickly when I yell, for kissing me when I ask, for giving me big squeezes, and for making me laugh. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your third year was HUGE. Almost all your words sound just how they're supposed to. Thomas isn't "ta-tee" anymore, which is a sad one for me. Sometimes, you'll indulge me and say words how you used to. We laugh about it and say, <i>"awwwww!"</i> You can count to 12 then 14, 16, 19, 20. It's pretty adorable. You can even count things and point out numbers. You know the ABC song but still don't really care about knowing your letters and that's ok!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A lot of the beginning of the year was just you and me. Daddy started writing more and working extra in anticipation of Amelia. And, if I'm being honest, sometimes I long for those days. I didn't have anyone else to take care of but you. I wish I would've held you more or at least napped with you. There are songs I sing to you that remind me of that time (from Toy Story, Home, and Cars) and those songs will always make me think of the two of us. I love you so!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You love your books. We still read every nap and every night, though sometimes we take them away if you disobey too much. You've moved on to bigger books. You can pay attention to the longer stories and you've even started kind of reading. By that I mean, memorizing and knowing when to say the words and knowing when we skip pages. Some favorites are Little Blue Truck, Red Truck, Gingerbread Man, Let's Be Polite, and any Thomas book. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are so different from your brother. He was never a fan of doctor visits. But, at your check-up, you hardly cried at a finger prick or a shot! I was so surprised. You're brave and tough. You're a little low on iron, so we're trying to up your intake naturally before any supplements.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month you really started eating!!! Pretty much what we eat plus some baby food. You can already hold a pouch and are drinking from a straw. Getting your face wiped is not a favorite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can use your finger and thumb to feed yourself and I'm happy to say avocado hasn't made you throw up! So who knows what those episodes were. You don't like it, which I don't even know what to say about that. You like pretty much everything else. You've even had Thai chicken soup. And maybe a sip of juice or two. And maybe a little bit of oatmeal cookie. (Oh, the benefits of being the 2nd kid.) 😏</span></div>

So, we left on a Tuesday and spent two nights.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dear Amelia,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">EIGHT months. I don't know why this one is hitting me hard, but it is. When you are a mommy one day, if you choose to be, you will understand just how wonderfully heart-wrenching this journey is. It's a weird thing to want you (and your brother) to grow up and thrive and be independent but to also want you to stay little forever. Your daddy and I literally cry every day from the shear joyous pain of it all. Okay, I'll calm down now 🙈... Here it is: all the fun things from your 8th month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't know how long you are or how much you weigh. All I know is you're growing and growing and growing and still love to nurse a lot!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We were on the road for most of this month. That meant a lot of time in the car. You're not a fan. You're good for about an hour or so, then you start getting fussy. It makes for some long rides, but we're handling it. Oliver wasn't in the car for some of it (he was with Grammie), and once he was back in the car for you to look at, you seemed to calm down. Did you just need your big brother??😍</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You're sleeping better! I still nurse in the night and you still end up in bed with us in hotels, but you're getting the hang of the whole sleep thing. Again, though...I miss you!!! What in the actual world? I want sleep but I want to see you all night. I'm a strange mommy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You threw up again. It didn't last long, just like last month. Not sure what's going on. Both times you had avocado, so I'm hoping that's not it. I'd hate for you to go through life without guacamole. Sickness is no fun. Extra cuddles are, though. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After Amelia had one of the biggest blowouts of all time, (seriously...I have never.) we made our way to the home show. I used to teach with Tammy and it was so fun to play music for her crew! Plus, their Kickstarter pledge was incredibly humbling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have been all about Thomas and his friends in this house since Oliver was 18 months old. He knows all their names and can recognize them waaaaaaaay before I can. There's even an Oliver train, which we don't own. Last year, we were going to do the whole Day Out With Thomas while we were in Texas, but we didn't because it was really hot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, we were actually in Nashville when Thomas made his stop here. We bought tickets (hello, $20 a person! What??) and planned the day. Oliver had seen commercials and would get so excited, or as he says, <i>"I'm so exciting!" </i>We didn't tell him what we were doing until we drove up to the location.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The grounds had all kinds of stuff to do. Crafts, bounce houses, games, a little train to ride, and a tent with all the Thomas toys and trains you could imagine. You know what may not be the best idea?? A tent with all the Thomas toys and trains you could imagine. Imagine a lot of toddlers who are still learning how to share and some adults who are still learning how to share and then tell the toddlers to "leave the toys now and let's go somewhere else." Yeah... Trent said it was like throwing meat to lions and telling the lions not to eat the meat. One adult even grabbed a train out of Oliver's hand. My word. And another kid grabbed Oliver's personal Thomas we brought. Oliver freaked out, the other kid freaked out, us and the other adults exchanged understanding glances and nods, and this was all within 15 minutes of us getting there. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Funny story: the pastor introduced us at the first service to kick things off. We were standing to the side before the second service started, and an elderly lady came up, said hello, and looked at her watch. She told us it was about time to get started. We agreed, but were waiting for the pastor to give us the go ahead. He was talking to some people, so we didn't know what to do and definitely didn't want to interrupt. We just waited. Well, the lady came back to us and was a little more firm with her instructions and basically told us to get up there and get started. HAHAHA!! Keep in mind, she is not on staff. She is simply a member who likes to start on time, lol. Eventually, the pastor started and all was well, but Miss Punctuality might've gotten a little frustrated.</span></div>
