Snuggler

Amelia is such a little cuddler and she loves to sleep in warm and snuggly places.

Two of Amelia's favorite places to sleep:

1. In grandma's lap. If grandma holds very still, she'll sleep there for hours.

2. In bed with dad. She loves to snug close.


Amelia loves he swing that her sweet friend Thomas gave her when he moved :) I know she's not looking at the camera, but I still think it's a sweet picture, and it reminds me that I need to take more pictures again...I've been slacking the past couple of weeks and she is growing and changing so fast. I love it. She is so much fun and I am loving every minute and every stage.

One of my favorite things that Amelia has learned since being born is that she is not dying every time we change her diaper or her clothes. For the first few days she used to SCREAM every time we changed her. Now she actually loves it and talks, smiles and kicks her legs and flails her arms with glee whenever we change her. Andrew just hopes she learns that life can be fun with your pants on too before she starts school.

Daddy's girl

So funny. The other day Andrew said, "I don't want her to grow up. I don't really like talking to toddlers." Then I reminded him that he didn't used to like cooing, smiling, baby talking, acting silly and gaga-ing to get a baby to smile at him either. He'll be fine.

They are so sweet together. Amelia loves her dad. And she is the apple of his eye.

Tell him that's only because before now, he's never met the cutest, sweetest, funniest, smartest most clever toddler on the face of the earth; he'll be all, 'what was I thinking??' ;)

I bet that I can convince Andrew that talking to toddlers is actually pretty fun and often amusing! Let's get Evelyn and him into some conversations over Christmas!

She's so cute and we can't wait to finally meet her this month!

Oh, unless she starts asking "why?...why?...why?" Which has just started and I'm not a huge fan of that. Usually I can distract her away and get her talking about something else.

Tell Andrew it's pay-back time. Michelle was talking in sentences at 18 months and she never stopped talking! But she was sure cute. Just like her daughter.

aww, glad she likes the swing. seeing a teeny baby in the swing actually brings back sweet memories. thomas loved it too. the rolls are sweet, and so is her little smile. oh, have i mentioned baby #2 has been scheduled to arrive mid july? yay! what are your plans for next wednesday? we will be driving through eugene and i'm planning to stop to see my brother (who lives close to you)...and maybe come see you guys if you're up for it (but very briefly i'm sure, since it will be a LONG day of traveling). let me know if you'll be around!
