Happy Halloween!

Video Attempt

Talking up a Storm

 I'm sorry I missed a week of posting. We bought a new computer, returned that computer, and purchased a new, new computer all in a week. With all that commotion, I didn't get a chance to post last week. The good news is......I have video! (hopefully)

Amelia has her first professional photo shoot tomorrow. I'm going to make her look as ridiculously cute as possible. She really talks a lot now. She discovered a new sound last week and practiced it for an hour after she went to bed and first thing in the morning too. Her parents were so proud!

 
Did I mention that she loves the dog? Just after this picture, she rolled over so they were belly to belly. Then she grabbed a fistful of his hair just to show how much she loved him. Ayer's response, to lick every surface of her he could get to! She loved it!

4 Months Old!

 I can't believe it's been 4 months already. Time is flying by crazy fast! Last Doctor's appointment was on Friday and she weighs 13 lb even and is 24" long. Back down to 50% for height and weight. At least she still isn't short! We've had major developments in the last month. Amelia has found a new best friend (her purple monkey), she rolls over both ways, can reach out and grab what she wants, and she talks a lot. She got blessed by her Grandpa and Great Grandpa. She also met her Great Grandma from Florida. It's been a great month. Here's a slightly picture heavy update.



She is sooo not a Diva, but looks good in black and pink!
See how much she loves the monkey!

New Toys and not so Fun Surprises

Amelia loves to sit up, but can't do it on her own. Today we bought her a Bumbo chair and she loves it! I think she'd sit in it all day if we let her.

We also got to experience the first blowout diaper. I can't believe we made it this long and I hope we never see it again. Every parent needs to experience it once, I guess.

Roll Over!

Thinking about rolling over.....

Trying out the side....

  Hey! I'm on my tummy!

This isn't so bad after all!

Pacifier! Who needs that?

I tried to give Amelia her pacifier today because she kept sucking on everything she could get her hands on. She decided it wasn't good enough and tried to shove her whole fist in her mouth.

 Rob decided it was a good idea to try to eat the baby. Poor girl!

Wow!

That pretty much explains how I feel about life now. I am seriously in awe of all those moms out there than can get anything but the bare minimum accomplished. It is amazing how little downtime I have. Right now I'm fighting extreme fatigue to get a post out there. So, I hope everyone is grateful I'm spending my 20 minutes of 'me' time to post pictures of Amelia.

We went to the ISU v. K-State football game on Saturday. It was pretty hot, but it didn't phase Amelia. We would've been happier if ISU won, but that wouldn't be the Cyclone way!

Here is Amelia chowing down on her giraffe. She really loves that thing!

















Check out her sweet mohawk.

3 Months Old or It's been a Crazy week!

3 Months Old

3 month photo shoot today. Amelia has been struggling with a cold all week, so we didn't get her all dressed up. She decided comfort today.

Last weekend Amelia's Aunt Kate came for a visit. Amelia really enjoyed the company and all the attention. She even dressed up in her crabby outfit again. This time she accessorized!

Bedtime routine involves story time with Daddy. Here she is captivated by Green Eggs and Ham.

Surviving Daycare

Tuesday was my last full day home with Amelia. We decided to be a little silly.

Do I look smarter?

 Then she wanted to show off her Cyclone pride.

 Amelia did really well at Daycare. She pretty much slept the entire time, but I guess it wore her out. She came home and immediately went back to sleep.
