The Donut Stacker

We decided to take Amelia to Target last week to buy her a "big girl" toy since she doesn't have any. Matt and I were showing her all the different toys, showing her the lights, sounds, music of all the different toys......at one point she just looked at us and just stuck her thumb in her mouth and looked away, so uninterested in what we showed her. Then I got this little donut stacker and Matt had a different toy, each of us held it out and she reached for the donut stacker. I was about to put it up when she started crying, we decided this was the one!

Attached pics are of today. Amelia will be 7 months this upcoming week! She's sitting up on her own and just chatting a ton!

One Man's Junk.....

is another man's treasure......these people found many treasures in our annual garage sale! We totaled out at about $1800 all together! We had a great turnout and great weather. We had so much fun with customers, each other's company and just the craziness of a garage sale. Teresa sold overpriced cookies, chips and water.....she sold all her food and most of her cookies were bought by US! Amelia just enjoyed people watching, she was well behaved both days!

As you can see in one of the pics above the ice cream truck lady stopped to shop, we thought it was humorous so I had to take a picture of this!

My Little Easter Egg

Today was Amelia's first Easter, we didn't do any Easter Egg hunting but did dress her up in a pretty spring dress, she looked like a little Easter Egg....hehe. We went to church and had Easter lunch with Rosemary. Lunch was great! I made a banana pudding that turned out pretty delicious too (my first time)!

Next week is our yearly garage sale....I invited Kelly to join us and my goodness she has filled up my garage with all sorts of furniture, clothes, tvs.....all sorts! We hope to have great weather and a good turnout!

Underwater Experience

So Amelia has started going underwater in swim class. She's done so well.....babies are just amazing the more I learn Amelia's capabilites. It's great seeing her grow. She's going to her 6 month check up this week, so we'll see what her weight, length and head size is going to be.

Last week Amelia reacted to being tickled for the first time. It was soo funny and cute, Matt and I had a great time seeing her laugh. She's been eating veggies this week too....so far her favorite has been green beans! She also started rolling on Sunday.

St. Paddy's Day Soup!

Matt took this picture while I wasn't around.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Soon to be Fish?

So last Saturday we started swim classes. Amelia wasn't too interested in what was going on during the first class but today she was "swimming" and grabbing her toy. She went down the slide. She kicked around, splashed and was more in tune with what was going on in class. Class starts with Ring Around the Rosy and it also ends with the same rhyme. Very cute.

A Bad First

So my alarm didn't go off this morning but I can hear all the small noises Amelia makes in her crib. All of a sudden I hear some gurgling, I jumped straight out of bed, ran to her crib and found her vomiting. I picked her up immediately and ran to her room....I was still 1/2 way asleep....I don't know why I went to her room but I did. Poor Amelia got sick for the first time. She's been throwing up throughout the day. Matt and I have taken turns in holding her....we hadn't set her down once until about 30 minutes ago. I've been doing laundry ALL DAY....cleaning everything that she's thrown up on.

Hopefully she'll feel better tomorrow!
