Baby Tad

Amelia loves her Baby Tad. Here she is listening closely to him.


And giving him a kiss.

Pink Eye Strikes

Everyone else in the day care has had it so why not Amelia. She feels ok but looks very sad. She is on drops and should be improving soon.

As If She Isn't Tall Enough

Amelia enjoys an unseasonably mild February day.

February Watch Me Grow

The pictures from left to right were taken on: 10/15/04, 11/15/04, and 12/27/04, respectively. That doll doesn't stand a chance. Click the picture to enlarge.

Birthday Party

Amelia went to her friend Alex's first birthday party this weekend. There were lots of kids there but Amelia and Alex managed to spend some time together and pose for a few pictures.

Alex was sporting a cowboy shirt complete with pearl buttons for this cowboy party. Amelia was as cute as ever in her classic pink.

Animal Lover

Amelia is fascinated by the fake aquarium that sits on the side of her crib. Now she can pull up and get a close look at her fish. One of her favorite tricks is to try and kick the button that starts the bubbles, lights and music when she should be sleeping.

Get Movin'

Now she can crawl forward ...

and she has got this whole pulling up thing down.

New Movie and New Tricks

Click here to view a short movie of Amelia waving. She is doing all sorts of new things now that she has emerged from the month and a half of sickness. Those of you at work might want to mute sound before viewing.

Happy Valentines Day

Here is the little sweetie in her valentines day outfit trying to tear into some chocolate.

She got chocolate all over that outfit so before she could eat the second box we had to change her.

8 months and stalled out

With little fanfare Amelia turned 8 months last week. Apparently at 8 months kids decide they no longer want to sleep anymore. After a few hours they decide it is time to get up and play. Why? Shouldn't her sleep keep progressing in a linear fashion from ok to good to great. Things seemed to be going that way. From the 2 hours at a time we suffered through when she was an infant to the freakin awesome 8-10 hour stretches she gave us before Christmas. But no. The picture above was severely photoshoped and she was real drugged up at the time (just kidding). I fear she will never sleep like that again.

Sleeping, or what she doesn't do anymore

Amelia has recently decided that she likes to party in her crib anywhere from about 11 pm - 4 am. She can now turn her self over, get up on her knees, get her legs stuck, scream and perform a host of other tricks. This is all well and good unless you are trying to sleep. To add insult to injury she usually laughs at you when you come to rescue her from one of her hopelessly stuck positions. I wish I had some photos for you but our goal at these moments has not been photographic.

This picture is a happy and rested Amelia after a good night of sleep. It is usually the last glimpse I catch of her before I leave every morning. No matter how tired I am she can always make me smile.

Feeling Better

Our old baby is back.

Teeth

After many failed attempts the illusive teeth have finally been caught on film. Amelia likes to keep them hidden with her tongue. The one on your left is slightly larger, it popped out on New Years. The smaller guy on the right isn't far behind. Click the picture for a larger view.

And for an illness update: Amelia and Mom are both doing better.
