Dear Detox,

I would hate you if you weren’t such a dear friend to my butt. Good thing you only come to visit in January.

Sincerely,

The Deprived Lady

3 & 4 Months!

The holidays were way too fun to stay caught up on blogging, so here are some pics of how much the little miss has grown these last couple of months…

3 Months

4 Months

 

TODAY’S STATS:

Weight: 18.5 lbs (96%)

Height: 27” (99%)

We always get comments on how chunky she is…I love that she’s chunky and might need a bra any day now…but today I learned that based on her weight to height ratio, she’s only the 68th chunker out of 100 babies her age.  What the heck?!  I say bring on solids. ;) 

Head: still off the charts.

….Staring down at my favorite boots that inspire her borderline heinously bright outfits….

 

The Babycakes has really grown into herself, personality wise.  She really is quite funny and I have a feeling she will be my little firecracker.  It’s just a hunch now, but when she laughs at me when I tell her “you have to go to sleep now” or smiles at me when she has a blow-out or spits up on both of us after just getting ready for the day…I think it’s a pretty good hunch.  :)  Amelia is a really well-tempered baby, loves to smile at strangers, will endure a long shopping trip with Nani and Mommy as long as she can look at the pretty things too, and has connected her will power to her fingers (ooh…I can get that!  oooh….hair!!!).  She will however, let out a high pitched and very loud scream if she accidentally bit a finger from chewing on it or mommy and daddy couldn’t get the bottle fast enough….emergency.  But that’s pretty much it.  She loves to be around people and still has moments where she will stare at a blank wall or a completely non-stimulating area of the room and interact with it.  I personally think she’s just being visited by loved ones I can’t see.  I’m a believer!

Some big changes happened this last week as she moved out of our bedroom and into the nursery (she did great!  I think she thinks it’s her throne) and she JUST started sitting up on her own!  Daddy and I both think she’s too smart for her little pants and are loving her sweet and spunky little personality in our lives.

Better Late then Never…

So, Babycakes was born 4 months ago and we just got our birth announcements Christmas cards out last month. :) Besides being behind the ball, we’ve had some issues with finding addresses that were on my old computer and locating our overseas friends.  So, if you haven’t received yours for one reason or another….here they are.  I made two because I’m indecisive.

(This picture was taken by the lovely Susie!)

First Night…

Tonight is Amelia-Jayne’s first night in the nursery. When we first had her and she was waking up every 90 minutes or so, we thought this day (or night) would never come…but over the last week I’ve kept putting off her last night with us for any excuse in the book!  She fell asleep after trying to figure out her butterfly mobile and a few smiles for Mom.  No tears or anything!  I’m pretty sure she’ll sleep better than me tonight.  What will I do without rolling over to check on her every 30 minutes?  I think the monitor and I will become close friends.

 

 

     

Sweet dreams, baby girl.
