Amelia goes to the Doctor

Amelia had her 4 month check-up this week. Our little girl is growing so big. She weighed in at 14.5 pounds and she is 25 3/4 inches long. She had to get 2 shots plus an additional oral vaccine, so it was a hard day for her, but she is in excellent health and is progressing very well for her age! Maddie came with us to the appointment. She was and exceptionally good helper to Mommy and the doctor. She read books and played with Mia while we waited. She also held Mia's hand while the doctor did her exam. She is a great sister.

Play Time

Amelia is becoming quite good at peek-a-boo. Every time the blanket pops up... presto!!! She gives big grins and giggles. It is so much fun to watch our little baby grow into such a big personality.

The other day Steve tried Mia out in the Bumbo so he could get some work done around the house while I was gone (Sweet, huh?). We weren't sure if she could do it - sit up alone that is - since she still topples over when we try it out ourselves. Well, the proof is in the pictures. Amelia loved it. Obviously she could tell she was doing something special because she was incredibly pleased with herself. Way to go big girl!

Painting Party

Aunt Lisa is the coolest! One night she brought paints over to Grandma's house and after dinner we went outside for a little inspiration and a lot of room. Colby painted too, but quickly went to swing when he finished his picture. Painting can be messy, but Maddie did great. Maybe, I will get brave enough to get Maddie paints too... maybe...

"Tub" Time At Grandma's

The tradition continues. Amelia had her first bath in Grandma's sink during our last visit. The big smile says it all. She looooved it! The sink is high enough so mommy's back isn't sore, and it's deep so there is plenty of room to splash. Plus, Grandma gets her dishes done and her sink scrubbed. Everyone is happy. Now that's good clean fun.

Let's Bowl!

While in San Antonio, Grandpa took our little clan along with cousin Hagen to enjoy a good old fashioned game of bowling!! We were set up on two lanes, the guys on one lane and the girls on the other with bumpers. Maddie insisted she needed a pink ball to bowl, no other would do.

Maddie had lots of fun at first and was a good sport considering we went during nap time. She quickly tired, but a little vanilla ice cream got her back into action. We all had a blast. Thanks Grandpa!

Mischief Makers

You know something is going on when the house is too quiet... I was busy cleaning in mom's laundry room and thought to myself "Hmmm... Too... Quiet..." That's when I found these two holed up in the computer room taking pictures. Normally this would have made me quite upset, but when I saw how much fun they were having I just had to laugh - especially when I saw some of the pictures they took. Ahhh, to see the world through the eyes of 3 year olds.

Ba-Da-Bling

When Daddy's away the girls will play! That was exactly what we did last month when Steve went to Utah. Steve wasn't against getting Amelia's ears pierced, he just didn't want to be around when it happened. (He's a softy like that) Amelia was a true champ through the whole experience. She cried less than when she had her first shots and it was all over in just 5 minutes.
