Through the year...

Amelia is One Years Old!

Amelia turned one years old on the 18th of December. Can you believe it? I hardly can. It seems just yesterday I heard the words "It's a girl!" This past year has been filled with many different emotions and through it all Amelia has been a blessing.

Amelia had an exciting and fun filled holiday. She celebrated Thanksgiving at her Aunt Marirose and Uncle Richard's house with the McCarthy family.

The following week she enjoyed Christmas at Hershey and added another word to her vocabulary: lights! So fitting for a Christmas baby :) She loved looking at the Christmas light these past few weeks. She points and says "lights".

She celebrated her birthday on December 17th with a winter wonderland theme. The party was complete with some snow flurries. A true gift from above :) She has a blast the party celebrating with family and friends.

Tim and I took her to Red Lobster for her birthday and the wait-staff sang "Happy Birthday" to her.

She had her 12 month check up and is 18.8lbs, and 28.5inches.

On December 24th she celebrated Christmas with the McCarthy family. Aunt Colleen, Uncle Joe, and Ben were in town. We celebrated Christmas with the Thomas family on the 25th. Amelia had fun both days being around family.

November 18, 2011

Amelia is 11 months old!! She is now walking all over the place and has a few words in her vocabulary: bird, and button are the two newest!

She enjoyed her first snowstorm of the season on October 25th!

She helped Daddy rake the leaves on the weekends :)





She's been attending swim class since early September and has a blast. She's been perfecting her back float and enjoys sliding on the slide.

9 months!!

Amelia is officially 9 months old! She is now walking along with her walker and holding onto the furniture. Tim and I think she is officially the fastest crawler we know. She's like Speedy Gonzoleas :) We enrolled Amelia into a swim class at the Y in the middle of September and she seems to be enjoying it thus far.

She is babbling tons and we think she says "hey" and "da-da". Very cute :)

9 month stats:
Weight: 17 pounds,
Length: 27 inches

10 months!!

Amelia is 10 months old today. Amelia enjoys spending the day with her Gram and spends quality time with Tim and I in the evening. She greets me with a big smile when I arrive home from work and says "hey" to Tim when he walks through the door :) The excitement she shows for us is priceless. We try to take her for a walk around the neighborhood a few nights out of the week and on Saturdays we take her to swim class. Amelia is the youngest baby in class, but keeps up with the "bigger" kids. She loves being in the pool and going down the slide.

Amelia has been walking around the house (holding onto things) for a little over a month now. The other night she took two steps.  It won't be long before she is walking. We had to baby proof because Amelia loves to open all of the cabinets :) She dances when she hears music and studies any type of object in a room. She also loves playing wires-she must take after her dad :)

Amelia had her first sampling of fish at Red Lobster the night of my birthday. I think she'll love fish just like her mommy :) She had a great time celebrating Gram and Isaiah's birthdays over the past two weeks as well. She loves being around family and friends.

5 and 6 months!

I am behind with my blogging. Amelia turned 5 months old on the 18th of May. Amelia had two important events during the month of May: her Baptism and Aunt Marirose and Uncle Richard's Wedding! She had tons of fun and was surrounded by loving family on both days.

She has been sleeping well, about 9 hours a night and when she awakes she has a big smile on her face. She seems to love holding her blanket between her hands while she is asleep :)

She can roll from her stomach to back as well as her back to stomach. She is able to sit up (still a little wobbly) and is trying to pull herself up to a seated position...she'll get there soon!

She enjoys bath time and splashing her feet. She is now has a strong interest in all of her bath toys!  We bought her a plush tea set and she loves the noises each item makes. She also loves playing in her jumperoo.

The past few days she has been making lots of noises so, maybe her fast words will be soon ;)

She is scheduled for her 6 month check-up on Thursday so, I'll post her stats soon!







6 month stats:
weight: 15 pounds, 13 ounces
length: 25.5 inches

She is growing and developing well!

Amelia is 4 months old!!

Amelia is now 4 months old! It amazes me how quickly she is growing and developing. I can remember the day she was born as if it were yesterday. We wake up every morning to to her cooing in her crib. When we go to pick her up, she gives us a big smile.

She enjoys bath time, plyaing with Dad and riding in the car. She now has an interest in toys and grabs for things.

She started eating baby food last week and seems to enjoy it thus far :)

At her 4 month check up she weighed 13 pounds 11 ounces and measured 24 inches in length!
