Homegirl

Amelia loves being at home. Here's a few of our latest shots. The final one is her watching Daddy play the Wii.

Out and About

Here's some pictures from St Patrick's Day (we saw the incredibly long Des Moines parade on a gorgeous day), swinging in the park (guaranteed giggles), and testing out our new backpack.

Amelia was baptized last Sunday and we had a lovely weekend celebrating Kevin's birthday and Amelia's baptism with family and friends. Amelia's gown (we believe) was worn by her Great Great Grandmother at her Christening in the late 1800s.

Cakes

I've been experimenting with cakes and wanted to share Kevin's birthday and Amelia's Baptism cakes.

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
