Pictures

I've been slacking...I owe a lot of pictures! Sorry. :) Mommy's been working long hours. Without further ado...AMELIA!!! [Next time I'll post some videos]

Sitting in her new ducky tub

1st bath in the ducky tub...she loves it!

1st trip to the STL Zoo. Don't let that smile fool you...she was NOT into the Zoo. See next picture.

We didn't realize she was pouting until I uploaded the picture!

Chewing on the babyproofed table.

Swimming in her baby pool for the 1st time.

Daddy giving Amelia a ride in the laundry basket. Hey Amelia, can you fold those clothes while you're in there?

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!


Looking at all her toys in her bin at Grandma & Grandpa's.

This is how we found her when we unzipped the sleep sac this morning...all the snaps undone and her legs wild & free!

8 Months Old!

Hello! This is Amelia. Mommy has been really busy lately and forgot to blog about me turning 8 months!

Babcia is visiting from Michigan, so we've been doing lots of cuddling. I can say "mamamamama" and Mommy says that makes her really happy! I can sit by myself, and stand (when holding on to something) for a while. They keep trying to get me to crawl, but I'd rather walk. Every time I sit on the floor by myself, I try to pull up so that I can get walking!

For my 8th month birthday, Pampaw, Mamaw and Great Aunt Marilyn came over for dinner with us. Babcia made a lot of food that smelled yummy, but I can't eat any of it yet. I got a lot of presents! Mommy & Daddy even got me this toy that I can sit with or walk with. I like to try walking with it, but sometimes my feet don't move as fast as I want them to!

Playing with my new toy

I'm a big girl...check out my pictures!

Sitting in the big chair on my birthday

Hey, I wanna play on the computer too!

Pictures & "Talking"

Here are some pics of what Miss Amelia has been up to lately. Make sure you go all the way down...there are 2 videos of her "talking"!

Watching "Bolek i Lolek", a Czech cartoon on YouTube.

Heck yes, I'm a Cardinals fan!


She fell asleep in her highchair.



Almost crawling...

...but would rather walk!

Amelia has become way more vocal these past few weeks. She babbles "ahm, ahm, ahm", "bop, bop, bop", and sometimes "ma, ma, ma." So cute! Enjoy the videos:

Talking to the camera

"Bop bop bop!" Her fave cartoon (Ni Hao, Kai-Lan) is on in the background.

Some videos from the trip

Enjoy!

On the beach, not too terribly impressed with the water.

In the car, amusing herself.

7 Months Old

Amelia turned 7 months old the day we arrived in Florida. How many babies celebrate their 7 month birthday in Florida?!? Lucky girl.

Since we were on the road most of the day, we weren't able to take a picture with a sign, so this will have to do.

First Pontus Family Vacation, Part II

Our vacation was pretty relaxing. We spent every day at the pool, and went to the beach 3 times. Alex was able to play beach volleyball and tennis with his brother, but didn't get to go fishing. Oh well...next time!

For Good Friday, Alex's parents took us to a seafood restaurant in downtown Sarasota, Barnacle Bills. I know, I know...JENN in a SEAFOOD restaurant!?! Yep. But I kept it real, I had pasta, NO seafood for me! I did try a bite of Alex's tilapia though. Anyway, it was Amelia's first time in a restaurant and she did really well.

Alex's parents had a lot of company over during our vacation. It was great because so many people were finally able to meet Amelia. She's such a happy, friendly baby!

Sunday was Amelia's first Easter. She looked so adorable in her fancy dress! We took so many pictures with everyone! Alex's mom cooked an AMAZING brunch and dinner. We ended up having company for Easter dinner, and then Alex & I took Amelia back to the beach for the last time.

We left on Monday, and we were all sad to go. Overall, Amelia did so well on her first trip. She handled the 16-hour car ride wonderfully. We will DEFINITELY go back to Sarasota! Next time, we might even fly. :)
