Amelia's First Birthday Party

Amelia went to her first birthday party today.  It was our little friend Cameron's 3rd birthday party.  It was a cowboy themed party at a therapeutic riding center.  She got to "ride" a horse and has her first bandana and cowgirl hat.

Smiles and More Smiles

When Amelia smiles, she smiles with her whole face...lips, gums, cheeks, eyes, and forehead.  There are many versions:

The Squint (aka The Daniel)

The content smile

 The head tilt

The full face smile

And the nose crinkle



Playtime with Brandon

Amelia spent her first Spring Break with her cousin Brandon in McKinney.  Brandon is 9 months older than Amelia so he taught her a few tricks, and they had a lot of fun playing together.

Brandon taught Amelia how to put her feet up on her highchair tray.

More food!

Bananas and Crackers!

Avocados!

Playtime

Amelia's favorite activity is to roll around on the floor with Mom or Dad.  Here are some pictures from tonight's playtime.

9 months old!

Amelia is now 9 months old!  She is 28 inches long and weighs 19.3 pounds.  She is still in the 60th percentile for length, weight, and head circumference.  Here are some recent pictures of her holding her bottle and eating her first "real" food...a banana.

Doctor Visit

Amelia has had some stomach bugs over the last few weeks so I decided to get her checked out.  It was a busy day at the doctor's office and we had a loooong wait.  She took her frustration out on the paper in the exam room!  She is much better now, but she has a pretty severe ear infection.  Her 9 month appointment is on Monday so we will get new information then.

Happy Valentine's Day
