Spot the Cheerio

Amelia is doing great with her eating so far. After our false starts with cereal she loves to eat her fruit and veggies and even had beef casserole today. . . so we thought we'd introduce some cheerios. She wasn't impressed and every effort ended up on her chin.

And She's Off . . .

Well after a couple of weeks of crawling backwards and in circles, Amelia's figured out a way to crawl forwards!

Muscatine

Amelia & Kate spent a few days in Muscatine with Grandma, Auntie Suzie & Tom. The babies had fun playing together and Amelia can now confidently hang out in high chairs in restaurants. She spent much of the time in the quiet country club restaurant blowing raspberries. We're not used to her being the loud one :D

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.
