5 Months

Today feels weird - there is no way that Miss Amelie is 5 months old.

No. Way.

She ate bananas tonight. Loved them!

She sat up by herself. Just once, but still.

I wish those teeth would push through already, they're still bothering her. 

She still wakes up once a night, but it's ok with me.

My very last baby.... and she's perfect.

She loves me, and I love her!

Just look at that face!

18 week - 19 weeks

20 weeks - 21 weeks

25 Year Old Overalls

These were my overalls :)

Then they were my little brothers.

Now all my kids have worn them, and they still look great.

Love it!

likes Baby Einstein videos

took her first trip to the apple orchard

naps from 12 to 4 every afternoon

spits up constantly

and super loved!

Whatevs.

Sunrises aren't beautiful, they're stupid. Everything sucks when you see a sunrise you didn't want to see.

I haven't written in forever. That sucks.

There's a lot of reasons for this.

Gavin's in preschool! He love love loves it, and is doing really well - he even rides the bus!

His teacher Miss Ashlee is great, she's very young and super nice, Gavin is totally in love.

Amelie is insanely huge now.

She's now smiley and wiggley and fun.

But time consuming.

Worth it!

Oh - the other big thing!

David is working at the radio station!

He is on-air from 7 to 10 every night and has a big meeting on Friday to talk about being full time!

It's crazy awesome!

We've been doing tons of other fun things I'd love to share, but for now, Gavin's up and not feeling well so I have that to deal with. Update later!

One Month

Dear Amelie - 

You are one month old now - how time flies!

I still can't believe that you're here.

My third child, my first girl.

My only baby to use a pacifier

and to have colic.

You sleep through the night already, 

but those hours before bed are tough!

You are by far the squirmiest thing I have ever held.

I think you smile for your brother Gavin the most

but you want me all the time. 

Your first holiday - 4th of July

you slept through it all.

You've gotten so big already, I'm missing your newborn-ness already.

one week - two weeks

three weeks - four weeks

You have completed our family - we love you so much!!!

It's 12:30 AM

and I'm exhausted.

because of her.

But everyday I love her a little more.

Even though sometimes she drives me crazy and I want to scream

"MY GOD CHILD GO TO SLEEP!!"

or

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??"

All it takes is a little cuddle and maybe a quick smile.

and I'm reminded how absolutely blessed I am. 

For my two amazing boys and their beautiful little sister. 

We all love her!

Now, goodnight!

She's here!
