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

First Trip to Parowan

Amelia...
We went to Grandma Deb and Papa KC's house in Parowan for a long weekend.  The big kids skied with Dad and you and I just snuggled, went for a walk, and napped (you)/read (me).  We spent time with cousins and had a blast.
This was just the first of many visits to Parowan and many good memories!
Love,
Mom

Merry Christmas 2017

Amelia Bedelia...
Merry Christmas!  Christmas is so magical when you have kids...even when you are only 3 months old.
We spent a lot of time learning about Christ and his birth.  Unfortunately, winter time means illness and we spent a lot of time at home to either avoid getting sick or avoid spreading germs one kid or another happened to have.
We were able to go to the Live Nativity in Alpine (our annual tradition) and meet Santa and Mrs. Claus this year.
Your sweet and peaceful personality is really starting to show and I love spending my days taking care of you and your siblings.  It is the most difficult thing I do, but also the most rewarding and the most amazing thing I have ever spent time doing.
For Christmas, Santa brought you the original "Amelia Bedelia" book and a peacock hooded towel.  You received other gifts of clothes and books and you seemed to enjoy the family time during your first Christmas.
I love you so much!
Love,
Mom
