Southern California Trip 2018

Amelia...
We took a trip to Las Vegas and Southern California to see most of our extended family.  We started in Vegas and swam at Grandma and Papa's house a lot.  Then we went to Southern California to see Uncle Peter and Aunt Chantra, Hansens, Aunt Sunny, and Great Grandma Donna.  We spent a lot of time on the beach and one day at Disneyland.  You traveled so well and loved seeing so many people who absolutely love you!
I look forward to many more adventures with you my little one!
Love,
Mom

St. George 2018

Amelia Bedelia...
We spent a long weekend at Great Grandma Eileen's house in St. George.
The first afternoon you snuggled Great Grandma while dad and I helped the big kids swim.
The next day we enjoyed the Children's Museum.
Our final day in St. George, we played at Thunder Junction park and rode the carousel downtown...you even got to ride!
You are blessed to have all four of your great grandmas still living and I am glad you are able to have a relationship with them!
I hope you always know how blessed you are to have an extended family that loves and care for you so much!!

Love,
Mom

6 Months

Amelia Bedelia...
Your first half birthday!!  These last 6 months have flown by and we love you more and more every day.  You are the sweetest little girl and your smile is incredible.  You are easy going and so happy to be around your family.
You adore your dad and you just snuggle right into his chest and have the biggest smile on your face every time he holds you.
Carter and Bridget are your greatest sources of entertainment.  You love when they play with you and share toys with you.
Over the last month you have started to eat solid food (baby purees) and you love it.  You eat anywhere from 5-7 ounces a day already!  Your favorites include butternut squash, green beans, prunes, and bananas.
You are sitting up independently but you cannot stop yourself from falling over yet.
You sleep well some nights and not so well other nights.  Consistency in your sleeping habits has never been something we have experienced.
You can roll from your back to your belly but you can't get back to your back and it frustrates you.  You are not a fan of time on your tummy.

Here are your 6 month stats:
Weight: 16 lbs, 11 oz - 59%
Length: 27" - 87%
Head Circumference: 43.5 cm - 82%

Amelia, we love you so much and I am so excited to see the person you will keep growing up to be!

Love,
Mom

Valentine's Day 2018

Amelia...
For your first Valentine's Day, you and Bridget woke up to flowers from Dad in the kitchen.  You were so excited you tried to eat yours when I turned my back for a minute.
I love you!
Love,
Mom
