Miami Visit

Alex & Amelia -
We were wonderful for our trip down to Miami. We got to see Great Grandma and Grandpa and Great Aunt Fran. We were very loving and well behaved - Mommy and Daddy were very proud. We even got to see Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Sarah briefly before we left. All in all the trip was short but lots of fun. We can't wait to do it again soon.

PA Visit

Alex -

Not much is new with me. I am getting teeth number 7 and 8 and had the unfortunate luck to get an ear infection while in PA. But I am all better now and back to running around like a madman. I had a lot of fun seeing everyone we had time to see and even do a little shopping with Mommy and Mimi. I kept a good watch on Amelia. I even help Mommy to burp her, although her pink paci's are way better than mine, so I steal them often. I am still growing like a weed, the Dr. said I am 25lbs now.

Amelia -

Not much new with me either. Alex keeps stealing my pacies when Mom isn't watching so that is annoying to me. I am starting to smile and be awake more. I am still a very calm and easy going baby so I know mommy is trying to enjoy that as much as she can while it lasts. Alex and I did really well traveling which was a great relief to Mommy and Mimi.

So peaceful - Eating dinner with Mimi

Chilling with Dad

End July - Beginning August 2008

After Mimi and Pop left, a week later Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Sarah came for a week to visit and help out. Everyone had tons of fun playing and hanging out.

Alex (14 mos):
Well, I have finally gotten used to the idea of a new sister. For the most part though, I try to go on as if she is not around. I am as active as ever and enjoy anything outside - especially the swings at the park. Recently, I have started clapping and waving - I know is a little late, but better than never right? Mommy also taught me how to blow kisses. And my favorite thing to do is read my books especially the Dr. Suess ones with Daddy and Sandra Boyton ones with Mommy.

Amelia (3 wks):
I have done a lot of growing already. At my 2 wk appt I was 8lbs 3 oz and 21inches long. I am a super eater and for the most part I don't keep Mom and Dad up too much and sleep decently most nights. I prefer the night owl life style though and think 11:30 is the perfect time for bed although Mom and Dad don't agree. I'm awake a lot more during the day. I know I have a brother and for the most part he doesnt pay much attention to me and that is just fine.

Mommy's Favorite Outfit

Aren't I cute? - Man I have the hiccups again, so no cool.
