Six Months Old

It's hard to believe, Amelia turned 6 months this weekend. Where did the time go? She celebrated by learning to crawl backwards and keeping Mummy and Daddy up for a party from midnight to 3am.

Ymmmm Carrot

Amelia ate a little bit - but I think the floor got a larger portion. If you look closely, you can see the bits on the side of her head. . . it's a good thing she doesn't have much hair.

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.
