As for Amy

Some little bits about Amy.

She was awake from 11:45 until 3 today. That’s a pretty long stretch for her. Yesterday she didn’t really have any morning nap because we were out doing errands, but she did quite well. Perhaps she’s getting more used to her new place, and just more able to be contentedly awake for longer.

In the car once, Amy was making a long noise, and Mark patted her mouth to get that “wa-wa-wa” kind of sound, which she found amusing. Now she does it herself, but her way is funny because she uses her whole fist and waves it pretty far back and forth, and not as fast. She looks a bit like a trombone player.

She has liked to watch someone clap, and usually grabs the hands to get the feel of the movement. She has her own version of clapping now, which is just waving her arms out and back as fast as she can — sometimes her hands connect.
