Happy 6 Months!
Sweetie! You have lived half a year, what a huge accomplishment! You are as cute as a button and we love your chunky rolls! You make your sissy and Joshy smile and you love chasing them around when mommy and daddy run with you to chase them. You laugh and laugh and your laugh is most precious and we can’t get enough of it. You are a strong sitter and hardly ever fall over now. You first set up confidently on your own on June 7th. You seem to want to crawl as you stand on all fours with your tummy off the ground and rock. However, you move the most in your crib. As soon as mama or daddy puts you down for your nap, you instantly move yourself to the other side of the crib. You love sleeping on your tummy! On June 17th, we have offered you your first solid food, which was squash and you did not like it one bit. Your faces were hilarious once we put it in your mouth and we couldn’t stop laughing. Since then, we have offered you apples, pears and apricots and you have refused all of it. We will try again when you are ready our little cutie. Your whole family adores you and loves to spend time with you. We can’t imagine our life without our little peach, as mama calls you J We pray that God keeps you healthy, strong and happy little girl. Your family loves you very much! Hugs and kisses!
Five Months Young!
Amelia darling! That’s what your daddy likes to call you 🙂
You are 5 months young! You have been a busy little bee growing, talking, laughing. Just a pure bundle of cuteness that we can’t seem to stop kissing you! You have made a huge progress with going to people and not screaming. You are still uneasy with strangers, but then who wouldn’t be 🙂 You are such joy to watch grow. You love toys! You are not very picky with them either, whatever you are handed, you play with it until you are ready to move on. Mama has discovered that you love to play with spoons, teaspoons to be exact. Having you playing with one, gets mommy a chance to wash dishes or even make a meal sometimes 🙂 You are not in a hurry to learn how to crawl, I did catch you however in a position of a push up. Mama is not in a hurry to have you crawl, so don’t rush little one. You love to “rEat” books, I usually give you one to munch on while I read, otherwise all you want to do is eat them and not listen to what mama is reading to you. Your sissy and brother absolutely adore you and love to play with you. Your tiny face lights up at the site of them, it’s precious to watch. On May 9th, you were 24.5” long 🙂 On May 22nd you splashed in the water for the first time and had a blast. Every time I said “splash, splash” your tiny legs would just start moving and you would splash 🙂 You still say “mama” but only when you are hungry or sad, I hope you will start saying it when you are happy 🙂 We love you to the moon and back forever baby girl! Muah!
Four Months Young!
Amelia love, happy 4 Months to you baby girl! My chunky, sweet, happy, lovely baby! Time is flying by and so often I wish it would stop so that you wouldn’t grow so fast. You are now over 16 lbs! You smile pretty much all the time unless you are hungry or tired. You eat very well, still from a bottle, but mommy and daddy are grateful! You eat 4.5-5oz per feeding and about every 3-3.5 hours. You have been a very good sleeper and continue on to put yourself to sleep in your crib every night. Even for naps you prefer to fall asleep on your own as long as you have your paci and a little wash cloth or a blankie. Mama has been trying to graduate you to the next level of paci and you would not take anything other than your soothe 0-3 months. You make the most sour face when I give you a different paci, sissy and I always laugh when we see you make that face. You have turned from your back unto your tummy for the first time on April 15th and have been doing that ever since, but not too often. Also while doing tummy time, you kick your feetsies as if you are trying to crawl, it’s very precious. You are working on finding your feetsies right now, you grab them but haven’t quite brought them to your mouth, you only stare at them 🙂 Every time mama and daddy eats something, you look like you would like to eat it and when you are hungry for milky, you make lip smacking sounds, it is the most precious!
You love spending time with your siblings, you and sissy are the best of friends and love spending time together. Bella has even carried you from one room to another (with mommy’s supervision of course) and you just kick your little legs and smile big 🙂 You are the happiest of babies when you wake up, you love to talk. You have been much better with letting people hold you, it’s been so refreshing to see you let nana hold you and play with you. You have been wanting to sit up all on your own and you are almost there bunny!
Three Months Young!
Sweet love of mamas, you have filled our hearts 3 months ago and we love you more and more every minute. You are gaining weight and looking more chunky by day, I love your rollies 🙂 You have found your tongue and have been playing with it non stop. It’s the most adorable thing, to watch you stick it out and then hide it while screeching like a little owl 🙂 You brought a toy to your mouth for the first time on March, 9th. It’s been so fun to watch you reach milestones, it makes mommy’s heart very happy J You have been more and more of a content and happy baby. You fall asleep in your crib, like a big girl now and you don’t seem to care if we are in the room with you as long as you have a little cloth to hold on to and your paci 🙂 Runs, have also been much more fun with you as you don’t cry nearly as much as you used to. You actually seem to enjoy them now and often will fall asleep 🙂 One thing that shocked your mommy and daddy is when we went on a date to Pottery World for lunch and dessert and you decided to sleep through the whole meal. Mommy and daddy were very grateful that you let us have a nice and peaceful date and you got a great nap 🙂 Anywhere we go, people tell us how adorable and beautiful you are and they are so right! You are simply gorgeous! A big hurdle to overcome is to not cry when family or friends come. You don’t like being held by anyone other than mommy, daddy sissy or brother. In time sweet baby, in time 🙂
Two Months Young!
Amelia doll, you are two months my joy! You are nothing but pure preciousness! We love you more than words can describe and our family would not be the same without you. I am typing this as I look at you lying on our bed and I can’t seem to stop starring… what a miracle! What amazing creation you are! You smile now and we can’t get enough of those smiles as they are most precious 🙂 You talk to us and say “hi”. You love color red as you light up and can’t stop smiling when you spot something red. You are very strong and tummy time has been amazing with holding up your little head. You smile every time you see mommy, daddy, sissy or brother. You love to take baths now and love the water 🙂 Running with mommy has not been your favorite thing as you dislike the car seat but mommy has high hopes 🙂
You absolutely love the gym mat and love looking at the toys hanging down from it. You are a good eater from a bottle most of the time, but mommy is just happy that she has milk for you 🙂 You got your first tears on February 27th. It was almost weird seeing your precious eyes water. We love you so very much!!!
One Month Young!
Amelia love, you have turned one month! Where has the time gone? We all love you more than words can describe. You are a bright beautiful light in our lives. Your sissy and brother can’t get enough of you and want to spend as much time as possible with you J You are a good eater but you like to eat from the bottle which is unlike your sissy or brother were and that makes mommy work even harder. You have been all smiles lately and when you smile, the room lights up J You look absolutely lovely in pink and your blue eyes are absolutely beautiful! Mommy still can’t believe you are hers and that we were blessed to have you and keep you J You love to be carried and your naps are super short, I am sure you just don’t want to spoil mommy and daddy 😉 You are ready to eat about every 2-2.5 hours and not longer, you also like not finishing your milk and to mommy it’s like liquid gold J You love to talk, you started talking recently and your tiny voice is oh so very precious. You love wearing your mittens and feel a little funny without them J Your little hands are so beautiful with long fingers and fingernails, I bet you are going to be a great piano player 😉 Another precious thing you do is put your left hand near your chin or left earYou have finally started to enjoy bath time J We are eagerly waiting for each mile stone and can’t wait to watch you through each one. We love you so very much our little peanut! Hugs and Kisses, daddy, mama, sissy and Joshy J

Welcome our Little Miracle Amelia Joy!
Our sweet Amelia, we finally get to hold you in our arms instead of hugging mommy’s tummy. You are nothing but perfection and we can’t get enough of your sweet baby smell. I am hoping you will read this someday and know your mommy’s birth story and your journey into this world. While in mommy’s tummy, you were a busy little bee, moving around every chance you got. Sometimes mommy was worried about you and wondering whether all of that movement was ok and rest assured it was 🙂 You came just 5 days short of your due date, on December 4, 2015 at 5:02 A.M. As time was getting close for mommy to have you, the contractions were getting more and more intense. For a while there, mommy and daddy thought they would have you by Thanksgiving or even right after. Mommy has talked to you and shared her desire to have a nice Thanksgiving meal with family and you were a good little listener and waited until December. On December 3rd, mommy’s Dr. (Cueto) told mommy to have you right on the 3rd as you were very ready and they wanted to induce labor so that you would arrive safe and sound. Mommy and daddy wanted to make sure that God was the one in control so they have decided to wait a little longer for you, which ended up being shorter than anticipated. Dr. Cueto scheduled mommy to be induced on the 4th of December at 5:30 A.M. and you came that same morning at 5:02 A.M. Our God is bigger and knows the perfect timing. Your sister Bella and brother Joshy adore you and give you kisses every chance they get. They both keep saying “I love my little sissy Amelia” and it warms mommy’s heart hearing that. You have been sleeping a lot! The first few days were rough as mommy’s milk hasn’t come in and you were ready to have it, so we had many unhappy moments until the milk was finally in 🙂 During the first few days you lost quite a bit of weight and were 6 lbs 14 oz. Your mama was determinted to get you back on track and feed you as much as it took to get you back to gaining. One week and three days later, you were 7lbs and 4 oz! You were happy and your mommy and daddy were happy 🙂 Sweet Amelia, we pray that God will protect you and guide you as you grow up and we make memories as a family of 5 🙂 We can’t even imagine not having you in our life. Welcome home precious girl! Daddy, Mommy, Sissy and Brother love you more than you will ever know.
