Da-da-dah! Introducing Amelia's newest and greatest play space! Thanks to everyone who contributed towards purchasing the chair and table from Adaptive Designs. They created sturdy, easy, functional and beautiful furniture for Amelia that actually looks like a child should be using it (for those who know what adaptive equipment looks like understands what I'm saying here!).

With Nestor still away, Amelia and I journeyed to Baltimore last week while her school was on break. We spent a lot of quality time with family and friends there. Jackie, my sister and I were able to steal away for a couple of hours while Bubbie and Zadie babysat. We went to the mall and had a ball at Nordstroms and Forever 21 (I am now laughing at the incident where I asked the salesperson if their "sizes run small?" and she told me "yeah, our clothes are for teens, so you should try another store further down the mall" -- ha, ha, hah, silly girl!)
I reconnected with my 7th grade BFF, Jill. What fun! I met her two spunky angels, Sophie and Oliver. They were adorable and Amelia loved meeting them. She especially loved the pictures they brought for her and the beautiful jewelry box Jill made.
Amelia also loved spending time with her cousins, Maya and Ezra. They were so sweet with her and tried to help out when she played -- doing lots of hand over hand with her. I was so happy that they were spending so much time and paying so much attention to Amelia. Below is an unchoreographed moment I caught of the two girls playing seperately while they leaned against each other. I love it!
