Merry Christmas!

 

 



First tent

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of making tents out of sheets in my bedroom and all over the house, and I've told Marty many times that I can't wait to make tents with Amelia...well, Marty couldn't wait either.  This is what I woke up to this morning.

Amelia's First Christmas Present

Amelia got her first Christmas present today from Haley...a beautiful, purple TUTU!

The Biscuit

Amelia had her 6 month appointment today...she weighs 16 pounds, 11 ounces and is 26.25 inches long.  She is in the 60% percentile for height, weight, and head circumference.  Pretty darn perfect!

We affectionately call Amelia "The Biscuit" which is what comes out when our friends' 3 year old calls Amelia a "Big Kid".  The nickname has stuck!  This week, the Biscuit sat up and stayed up.

We are very lucky because Amelia has a great daycare with people who absolutely love her and take great care of her.  Amelia is in the bouncy chair in the foreground and is having her first Christmas themed story read to her.
