She's a sleeper

Here is what I found when I checked on Amelia last night after she had been asleep for an hour:

And when I removed Bun...

I made it better:

For Reece!

Amelia's cousin Reece got to spend some time with Peaches over Christmas at the farm.  She sat next to him and followed him around the farm.  Reece recently heard about a little chihuahua that was picked up and almost carried off by an owl and he was worried about Peaches.  This picture is for Reece so that he knows that Peaches can hold her own!

8 months old

Amelia is 8 months old today...my how time flies!  She's scooting all over the place, standing up and leaning on things, and has 1 tooth!  She wants something in her mouth all of the time.  Here is proof:

Amelia's new best friend

We picked up some toys at the farm over Christmas from Amelia's cousin Brandon.  There was a play table, a chair/reading area, and a penguin.  The penguin is Amelia's new best friend.  She talks to him, pets him, and "reads" to him.

Christmas at home

After our vacation to the farm, we opened some gifts at home:

Christmas Vacation

Amelia was sick over Christmas with conjunctivitis, a sore throat and an ear infection.  Then she passed all of it to me and my mom!  So...there are not very many good pictures from our vacation at the farm, but here is what I have.

Her first phone...from Dad

She also got a play station that turns into a walker from Mom.

She got to be a big kid in the high chair.

She finally felt better on one of the last days we were there so I got some great pictures of Amelia and Grandmother.

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.
