Getting Stronger By the Day

So here's Amelia pulling herself up. She started doing it last week but as of today she has been doing it a lot more....she really enjoys it when Matt and I celebrate so she does it more and more.

Belly Laughing

I just love to see Amelia belly laugh....it is soo funny. Here is a video where she is super belly laughing with Matt. (As you can tell I have finally figured out my video camera after 11 months of having it!!!)

Sort of a Crawl

Here she is semi-crawling and getting into things she's not supposed to.

Mariachi Music

And so it begins! Last night we went over to Juan's for a birthday party. He had mariachis come sing "Las Mananitas" to Iris' mom. It was Amelia's first time up close and personal with mariachis I hope Amelia enjoys them as much as I do.....the music is lively and a pleasure to hear just makes you want to move. Here she is dancing with Juan. I listened to a lot of mariachi music while pregnant....so we'll see. She had a late night.....didn't go to bed until 11pm! So maybe she did enjoy them?

Baby Crockett!

Amelia started crawling on Saturday! She's not "mastered" the skill yet but she's getting there! Here's her Davy Crockett picture.

I Love Hats!

So I really like hats if I could wear them on a daily basis I WOULD...but I don't ..... just in the winter I wear them at any opportunity that I get. I think they look so cute on Amelia. I especially like her sun hats. I got her the cowgirl hat at Buckskin Joe's so when she goes to see the mini horses she'll have the hat to wear. We did the old timey photo and they put a bonnet on her. It was cute except it kept covering her face for the photo.

Royal Gorge Bridge

We decided to take a short trip to Colorado. We had a great time....it was a great week off for me, much needed time! Amelia had many "firsts" this week. She now rolls around and sits up after rolling, I learned the hard way that she has become VERY mobile. She waved "bye" for the very first time to the lady at Buckskin Joe's, it was her first time to a volcano, first time out of the state of Texas and her first time on a train. Here are some pictures from our trip.
