BIG GIRL!

Amelia has been trying to do so many new things lately. She's a lot more "conversational" with her noises now, and she can blow raspberries. She's been trying to sit up on her own. We sat her in her Bebe Pod and it was a success!!! She likes it! :)

She's also been trying to roll over. She'll get on her side and then kick her leg to try to roll over then give up and lay on her back. Tonight she accidentally rolled over. She was falling asleep on our bed and rolled over. I didn't catch it actually happening, but here are some pics from the aftermath!

This isn't so bad:

Completely over it:

3 Months Old!!!

Amelia is 3 months old! Time is flying by. She tries to talk and tries to crawl. She likes playing with her toys and watching tv with Mommy.

She's in size 2 diapers and wears 3-6 month clothes. We don't go to the doctor until 4 months, so our best estimate is that she weighs more than 13 pounds and is about 23 inches long. She's a big girl!!!

St. Nick Day!

St. Nick came on Friday night! He brought me a toy, my 1st Christmas ornament, and three books: "The Story of Christmas," "The Velveteen Rabbit," and "Counting Christmas." I must have been a really good girl!

We did a mini photo shoot at Mamaw and Pampaw's house on Friday. We had lots of fun! Here's one of Mommy's favorite pictures.

I can't wait for Christmas!!!

1st Thanksgiving!

Amelia had quite a special 1st Thanksgiving.



Our family came in from Maryland and we were able to spend the holiday together. They hadn't been to St. Louis since Alex & I got married 2 years ago. It was awesome to see my two beautiful cousins and my aunt & uncle! Cousin Brad & Christy also came in. We missed my sister Kim, but she'll be in really soon for Christmas.



It was also cousin Brendan's 1st Thanksgiving! He was very interested in Amelia and we can't wait until she's old enough to play with him.



We had a great time with everyone, and are thankful for so many things. Above all, we are thankful for our beautiful, healthy, happy Amelia!

10 Weeks

Today I am 10 weeks old! I love to play with my toys, and laugh and smile. Sometimes I sing when I play. I'm kind of too cute for words! I hope you enjoy the video of me singing at the end of this post!

2 Months Old!

I turned 2 months old on Saturday! I went to my doctor and he said everything is great. I'm still in the 50th percentile for everything. I weigh 11 pounds, 4 ounces and am 22 1/2 inches long. I'm growing!!!

I also got my immunizations on Saturday. I don't really know what they're for, but I had to drink something and got 4 shots! I cried and cried because I didn't like them. The rest of the day I was really tired and slept a lot. But I still found time to smile and play!

My 1st Halloween!

My 1st Halloween was very busy! I was going to visit all of Mommy & Daddy's friends at the law firm, but I was way too fussy so we're saving it for another day. Instead, we went to Mamaw & Pampa's house.

Halloween is my Pampa's birthday, and this year it was extra-special because he retired on his birthday. He only "worked" half a day, so we got to spend the rest of the day together.

When Daddy got home from work, we took some pictures with my first pumpkin. Then I got changed into my costume...I was a peapod! When I was in Mommy's tummy, everyone called me "Sweet P", so my costume was very appropriate. I don't really get what all the fuss with getting dressed up is all about, but everyone kept saying how cute I was. I just mostly slept!

Overall, it was a good Halloween. Next year I can go door-to-door and MAYBE get some candy! I have a feeling Mommy & Daddy will eat it all though.
