Allow me to assist you, mommy.
Amelia is a smart baby. Off the top of my head I can tell you she almost certainly knows the words: baby, daddy, mommy, dog, duck, bottle, light, yeah, no, this, that, hi and bye (though they don't sound quite like this when she uses them). I also think she may know bugs, eyes and foot.
She is also becoming a very helpful baby. For example, she helps mommy organize her wallet by continually removing her credit cards and handing them to mommy one by one.
More than this, she is learning to tell mommy exactly what she wants. Sometimes when I hold her she pushes forward from her hips as if to say, "Giddy up, take me over there." While at the doctor's office yesterday she kept pointing to something around the corner that I was apparently ignoring. I actually suspected she was pointing at the receptionists and did not want to stare at them or comment about them. So, Amelia put her hand on my cheek and pushed my face around to the right so I could see what she was pointing at. When I giggled and moved my head back to front, she pushed it again saying, "Dat!"
Tonight she did something that even surprised me. She has been helping mommy organize her drawers by pulling everything out and dropping it on the floor. I always open the same drawer for her because it's close to the ground, only mostly full, and contains no items that are actually folded or organized in any way. Tonight she wanted to empty a different drawer. She kept poking her finger in the gap above her towel and washcloth drawer waiting for me to give in and open it. Well, I really didn't feel like refolding all of her towels, so I pretended to ignore her and continued with the lower drawer. She then picked up my hand, placed it on the drawer she wanted to see, and pointed saying, "Dat!" It was so cute and clever I had to give in.
