Swimming

We took Amelia swimming for the first time today. We didn't get many smiles but she didn't scream either.

Shopping

We met Grandma, Auntie Suzie and cousin Tom at the outlet mall. At first the babies were not too impressed with the idea of shopping for a few hours, but conversations with Grandma helped.



















Amelia tested out shopping carts/trolleys this week. She started off hanging on to the bar for dear life but soon progressed to examining the shopping list.

Food!!!

Amelia had her first taste of food today. She wasn't too impressed. . . although I have to admit, I would make similar faces if I was eating baby rice. Warning - there's music.

Christmas #3 - Kate's Family

Our final stop was Muscatine and the Freedman side of the family. Amelia got to hang out with cousin Tom and exchange notes.

Traveling Adventures

We managed to hit every type of weather imaginable on our trip. Sleet, freezing rain, ice (so black ice on the roads), torrential rain and dense fog. Needless to say, we got a bit sick of driving so Amelia had to take her turn.

Christmas #2 - Kevin's Family

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Scarff side of the family in Ohio.

Christmas #1 - Home

As we were traveling over Christmas, we decided to have a mini Christmas at home so Amelia could open her presents that wouldn't fit in the car.
