Somebody's turning 20!

What's fun about Amos at this age is that he's comfortable in anyone's arms, but he knows when he is in Mom's.  I love this look because to me it says, "Oh, its you Mom!"

New things this week:

Amos and I have worked hard this week.  He’s been a little under the weather, and not his normal self!  I keep trying to blame it on a tooth, but nothings been popping up!  I’ve been told babies can teethe for months.  So this may be the new normal and I had better get used to it!  He’s chewing on EVERYTHING.  Here’s his new favorite thing to chew on…

...his lip!

He’s moving into the phase where sometimes his crying isn’t actual crying and is more of a whine!  That happens when he gets overly tired, or is somewhat scared!  When he doesn’t know if he should smile or cry, we get a look like this one.

Amos has been working out this week.  Working out his abdominal muscles.  The length of time he sits with out help depends on how long Mom can entertain him with a toy or silly faces before he realizes he's working too hard! He seems to like sitting, and he doesn't mind falling over either!

Also new this week is his high chair!  I busted the thing out because, in my head, I’ve been tossing around the idea of when to start food and thought it wouldn’t hurt to get him use to it.  Last night he enjoyed watching us eat dinner while in it.  And he even took a few swigs of water in his grown up big boy chair!

"Of course I love my chair,  I've got a toy in both hands!" - Amos

We’re excited for this upcoming week, as we will have Dad with us for 5 days straight!  And we get to see some new family members that we haven’t even met yet!  Wish us luck as we travel!

We have so much to be thankful for!
