7 Months!

Needless to say, it's been a while again. I really want to be a blogger but I guess I'm just not cut out for it. I'll just keep trying. I'm really just jealous of Alex's ability to update her blog almost every day: alexandbrandon.blogspot.com It's become a baby book for them and I love that. My baby book/calendar is also not very up to date. Recently I opened it to see everything from April 18th on was blank...oops. Luckily, I post to Facebook frequently so I went back through my status updates to remember what happened when. It's also far easier to upload pictures to facebook, which is probably why this blog is lacking.

Amelia will be awake any minute now but I think I have time to load the monthly pictures. She is getting so big! I had to move the Whale to out of her reach because it was impossible to get a good picture when she was throwing it all over the room. Once she starts realizing that she can roll off her back I might need some duck tape to get these pictures.

I also realized I should have been putting her in a plain white onsie or something so the pictures looked the same. I guess the color add more character. All of these things I think of too late.

Our little babydoll had been out in the real world for half a year now...hard to believe. Everyone says it goes by so fast and it really does! Amelia is loving our new house, lots of space to play, a big backyard, friends and neighbors, lots of windows, and of course Soxy-who she has taken a particular interest in lately.

At our 6 month appointment Amelia was 15lbs 6oz (50%) and 26.5 inches (95%). She is tall and skinny. She has outgrown most 6 month clothing because of her height!

She is sitting up well now-has been since about a week before we moved. This milestone was VERY helpful for packing and unpacking. She can play by herself now much better than when she was stuck on her back. I surround her with toys and it takes her a good 15 minutes to toss them all out of reach.

We went down to Mass to visit Meg Rezac and Kristin McKean. Both of my friends had a baby girl on April 8 (Marlow and Kylie). We had a GREAT time with all the girls and Meg and Kristin took lots of pictures (they are on Facebook). I love that all my friends are having babies...such a fun time!

She is still wearing cloth diapers and I'm proud to say that she has not been in a disposable diaper since 2010! We love cloth, I can't imagine putting those plastic stinky things on her...yuck!

Out for a walk in our new neighborhood.

Gelato with Daddy at Maples right near our house!

As usual, it's been a month since I posted. There is just so much going on it's hard to keep up! I'll start you off with a wicked cute video of Amelia playing the piano...more pictures to follow (hopefully before next month!).
