Amelia Takes On the World

Wow - this Christmas thing is exciting. First I got to celebrate with my dad’s parents - Nonni and Grandpappy. My cousin Lena was supposed to join us too, but unfortunately she wasn’t feeling too well. They gave me this awesome toy called an exersaucer - I can play in it all day long - I love it! See the picture my mom took of me playing. We also went to Houston to see my mom’s parents - it was my first airplane ride. I loved watching us take off through the window and the people watching kept me occupied. I was a good little traveler - everyone said so. While in Houston we went to Christmas Eve service so I got to learn about the meaning of Christmas. I loved all the songs we sung in church. While we haven’t started baby food yet, I have started on soy formula and I really enjoy it thankfully. Course I’m just happy to get food, no matter what the source. My parents tell me that in the New Year I’m going to get to try bananas - mom had some on her pancakes and they looked pretty good so I’m excited to try them out. I hope everyone else had a good Christmas and check back soon to see what I think of my first fruit.

I decided to have my 1st laugh for my mom this morning after she kissed my belly during a diaper change - she got all excited - don’t know what the big deal is… maybe I’ll do it again soon.

TGIF!

Dear Amelia,

You are almost 5 months old now - its crazy how fast its gone by.  This morning you were too cute as you loved hearing your voice say vowel sounds, so there were happy screams of “ahhh” coming from you during your diaper change and while you played on your exercise mat.  Yesterday during tummy time you kept talking to the baby in the mirror - and I often find you just talking to yourself.    I think you are close to sitting up, so far you do it as long as we help you - maybe you are waiting for Christmas morning.  Every day I’m startled to see you are bigger than you were the day before, and you are more aware of what is going on around you.  I even think you understood that the blue ring caused your monkey toy to dance.  The new year should be full of more surprises and lots of fun - it’ll be interesting to watch you try your solid foods and see what you think of them.    Your dad and I love you so very much, and are so glad you are part of our family.

Love,
Mom

My parents think I know my name now - I definitely like to turn towards them when I hear it.  But it could also be that they say it in such a fun voice that I’d turn anyway.  I’ll let them have their fun.

Welcome to my site.  My name is Amelia Rose and I am about to embark into the world of solid foods.  Join me!

December introduced your first Santa photo shoot, rice cereal, your first Christmas card and your first plane ride. It also was when I decided to introduce this blog, so I spent quite a bit of time setting it up.
