Sam & Amelia

Sweet Amelia,
This is a couple of weeks late, but I wanted to write down what you’ve been doing at this age. You have found your hands! You love to put your fist in your mouth and taste all of your fingers! You’re able to grasp and hold on to your toys and paci. You wake up most nights around 1am and 6am. You’re usually ready to start the day by 7am and call it quits about 7:30pm. I think we’re really close to consolidating your sleep into 2 daytime naps. The timing varies from day to day, but we are making progress. We’re on the go a lot, so you take most of your naps in the car seat these days.

You are generally a very happy baby. You love to smile when people talk to you and will occasionally giggle! You like to kick back on your play mat and watch Sam’s every move! You’re not too sure about the Bumbo, though. You like to sit up and see what’s going on, but it’s a lot of work to steady that head.

Your hair is falling out and is not as dark as when you were born. I’ve been accessorizing your outfits with bows lately, which is a lot of fun for me! You don’t seem to mind it. Maybe that will cut back on some of the “it’s a boy?” questions/comments.

You’re just a joy to be around. Sam asks for you every morning when he wakes up. “Me-ya?” or “Ya-Ya?” He loves to crawl in your crib with you and watch you!
Love you, sweet girl!
