The Best Medicine

If you ask Amelia, the funniest thing on earth is Cash playing outside, looking from the window at Gramma Tanya's house. Check out my little angel's first belly laugh...




A few things to learn here: 1) Sometimes things are so funny that you let out a little toot, and that's okay. 2) There is no doubt that Amelia has dimples on both cheeks. 3) A chubby baby is a very, very...happy baby.

100 kisses


I cannot stop kissing those cheeks. They are so dang squishy and soft and I pretty much kiss her all day. Every single time I pick her up, before I nurse, after we nurse, before and after diaper changes, etc. I can't stand it!! So, I apologize if the next time you see her, the cheeks are a little sticky. They probably have not hers, but MY dried slobber all over them. I've reasoned my nonstop kissing by declaring that Amelia needs at least 100 kisses per day (and we easily reach that quota by 10:00 am). She better get used to it if she's going to sport those dimples.

Solid food: Trial #1

Grant's got the camera set up. Amelia has the bib on. She's in a good mood and a little hungry. The time has come: Amelia will take her first bite of food. As all the books recommend, watered down rice cereal is on the menu. We weren't expected a big bite, gulp and bright eyed "yum! More please!" But the response we got told us what we needed to know. Amelia needs a little more time :)
