Amelie Turns Four Months Old!

Today is Amelie's four month birthday! I wish I could say she was in better spirits but after a blackout last night (an electrical blackout in our town, not a crazy baby drinking binge) and a rough night of sleep Amelie has woken up on the wrong side of the crib today. Hopefully things will get better and maybe I'll put a candle in her bottle tonight!

Amelie Meets Santa

On Saturday Amelie met Santa for the first time. We had many pep talks leading up to the event and I was convinced that because Amelie has always been such an easy baby there would be no way she'd cry on Santa's lap.
Hmm, shows how much I know. So, we stopped torturing her and got in the picture.
Later, when the crowds died down I made her try again. No child of mine is going to fail!

That's more like it!

We went to meet Santa at a Newcomers Club event for our town. We met a lot of really nice families and hopefully will make some local friends. After the brunch we went to a Christmas tree farm where you can cut down your own Christmas trees. We were too late in the season to be able to cut down our own (unless we wanted a tree a la Charlie Brown) so we picked out one that was already cut. It's really beautiful and fresh. This is the first time I haven't gotten my tree from a parking lot, grocery store or out of a box!

First Thanksgiving

Here are a few photos from Amelie's first Thanksgiving. We had a small get together at Jeremy's parent's house. Amelie was great and sat in her bouncy seat making lots of noise while we enjoyed a delicious dinner and then rooted for the Eagles.

Silly Ami

Thanks for the cute outfit Matt and Mel!

And for the cute shoes Aga!

They taste good!

Amelie Turns Three Months Old!

We are now officially moved into our house in Fair Haven. Amelie has had three homes in her fourteen weeks of life. At least she is learning to be adaptable! I realized as we were leaving the hotel that she had spent half her life living in a hotel!
So now Amelie has finally upgraded from her stroller bassinet to a crib and not a moment too soon! She was starting to really fill it out and now she looks so tiny in her crib! So much room to move and hopefully it will help her with learning to roll over.
Ami is so sweet and laughing and smiling lots. She is a great baby who loves being out and about and always gets comments on how alert and active she is. She has been sleeping through the night for about two months now, typically from 8pm to 7am. We know, we are so lucky!
Here are some recent photos. Amelie met her first boyfriend, Ryan Matejka, who was born one day after her! They look like an old married couple.

Here she is on Halloween. Jeremy wouldn't let me get her a costume since we were staying in a hotel and "no one would see her". He will obviously never hear the end of that decision!

My favorite picture!

Amelie came to the closing of our house.
