We took an unplanned visit to Tuscaloosa to visit family who have really wanted to meet Amelia Mae. The first stop was to see RuRu. RuRu has been very sick and was in the hospital for a long time and then in a rehab facility while we were in China. She was able to go home on Wednesday, so we were very happy to get to visit her in her house. Amelia was very hesitant to be in a new place, but she really liked finding the toys that RuRu had in her house. She also liked that RuRu had snacks, so I gave her some some pimiento cheese and crackers. Yes, she liked it. :) RuRu tried to give Amelia some love, but it wasn't happening.
After visiting RuRu, we went to see Amelia's great-grandfather, Baboo. She LOVED trying to walk on his new hardwood floors. He had Christmas presents for us, so Amelia was able to play with the tissue paper and put things in boxes and pull things out of boxes. She was quite happy. Amelia didn't want to be too close to Baboo, but she did manage to give him some high-fives and waves.
Once the visit with Baboo was complete, my tired girl thought the trip was over, but we had to go by one more place. We stopped by Grammy's house to exchange Christmas presents. Amelia was scared of Bella, Grammy's pup, so there were a few tears at first until Bella went to her bed. Amelia still wasn't giving any love away, but she enjoyed playing with the shape stacker and taking a few steps. Grammy was nice and let Amelia take the stacker home, and she really seems to like pulling those shapes off. We hope she gets better at putting them back on the stick. :)
Amelia slept a good bit of the way home. Once here, we gave her a snack before Aunt Sue, Uncle Leo, and Ella came with dinner. They were picking up Chinese on the way and coming for a play date. Amelia was very excited about dinner. She truly enjoyed the Moo Shu Pork and rice. She also ate some Mongolian Chicken and dumplings. After dinner, Amelia and Ella played in the playroom. They were so precious! Amelia did NOT like it when David or I held Ella. She would call out Mama or Dada and want us to hold her. David was holding Ella at one point and I had Amelia. Amelia patted David, pointed at Ella and then pointed at Leo as if to say, "She belongs to him." It was so funny! David said she had the funniest look on her face and did not appreciate that he was holding someone else. I am looking forward to the girls getting together again. I know they are going to be great friends!
