Amelie is not Terence Tao, but today she demonstrated her first logical deduction. Well, not quite but...
Dad: Amelie, take your hat from your mouth, it's dirty.
Amelie: Doggy pee in the hat (giggles).
Dad: What?
Amelie: Doggy pee in the hat (giggles).
Dad: Huh??
Mom explains: Earlier, during our walk with Sofia, Amelie wanted to touch the fire hydrant, to which she was told, "don't do that, it's dirty, dogs pee on fire hydrants..."
By the way, is this modus ponens or modus tollens??

Merf's birthday
Today we went to Merf's birthday in our best dress:
Merf and Amélie had so much fun, I can't wait to post more pictures!
Merf and Amélie had so much fun, I can't wait to post more pictures!
Do it all by myself!
Amelie wants to do everything all by herself (ABH) these days... Some things we can let her do (ie pour milk in her cereal ABH, fold her clothes ABH, put baby in the crib to go night night ABH... And get in her car seat ABH:
This ABH stuff has limits of course, but as you can imagine, she already tried to convince us that she can drive ABH, she can ride mom's bike ABH and she wants to go downstairs to the basement ABH...
She of course let us know very clearly when she is unhappy with what we (ie the parents or laws of gravity) teach her about things she can do or not do... Interesting that the same reaction comes our way whether the request is about brushing teeth or about flying like birds... In sum, we can't wait for the pre-frontal to kick in so that she can know that gravity is tougher than parents in terms of what one can't do!

Pitreries chez les Pessoas!
Our little one is turning into a little clown...
Playing with string cheese -
PEEKABOO:
I SEE YOU:
Trying to look as cool as daddy (nice try sweetie, but it will take more than putting his shoes on to get there):
More fun with daddy:
Rocking/strangling mommy to sleep:
Overall, great potential for standup comedy!

Summer Fun!
Summer has been so busy that we haven't had a chance to update our blog! So here is the concentrated yet long summary of our summer fun!
Vovó is back to Rio, it was great to have her around, Amélie loved all the games they played together... Including the game she played with Amélie's fingers, the most fun was that each time the game ended with an awesome tickle trick from Vovó:
Amélie is so ticklish it too funny to watch!
Vovó and Amélie also enjoyed a ride on the merry go round at the Zoo:
On the active front (pretty normal for our little exhuberant one you might say), Amélie has been amazing doing some new things at the park, such as climbing on the monkey 'tree':
Tia Cris also came to see us for a few weeks, Amélie was so happy to have her Vovó AND her aunt to spoil her this summer. They had a great time playing together too, Tia Cris has a special gift with kids, Amélie was collaborating in less than 24 hours, I am still trying to find where Tia Cris hid her secret supply of cooperation pills...
We took advantage of the great weather on Sunday to have some ice cream:
The best part of the summer so far? Mom and Dad went for a trip to Chicago, all by themselves:
Aaaaaaaahhh, thanks Vovó and Tia Cris for this wonderful gift!
