Ryan and I enjoyed our visit to the Canyon very much. We love being out in nature and it was great to take Amy on a small hike and to sit on my lap and swing.
My parents loved holding Amy and hearing her talk and giggle. It was great to see them. I'm glad they are back from China now to stay.
Amy's taken to trying to roll over in the tub. It's cute, but a little nerve-racking. I have to be very vigilant, since she can roll over quite fast.
Here's a little clip of Amy sucking her fingers backwards. I think it's really cute that she prefers them that way. The thumb is no longer the only cool one. All of the fingers are great. More often than not, she has all but her pinki in her mouth...upside down, of course.
Amy did remarkably well on our trip to Bryce... for someone who's in perpetual motion, I was proud of her for not whining so much or crying too much for being confined in the car.
Good thing she had Oma to make funny faces at her from the front... but after a while, she just looked like this -- a travel zombie.
My parents took us to a neat museum just outside Bryce... there were all sorts of exhibits of butterflies, animals, birds, fish, beetles, and moths. Amy was squealing with delight the entire time we were in there, running just as fast as her little legs could carry her and pointing to all the animals.
I think the museum was brilliantly done, and great for little kids, who rarely get to see animals so close. We learned a lot too -- I especially enjoyed the butterfly collection.

Amy spent a lot of gleeful time riding on Daddy's shoulders -- he skips with her and she gets so happy about it. He's a great father.
check out Amy in this darling swimsuit. It was her first time in a pool... took her a while to warm up to the idea of being in that much water, but then she had fun. I love this swimsuit though!!
