Cute noises

I love being 2 months old!

Oh, this picture is so sweet, right? Well, if you only knew!

This is how delighted she is seconds after exploding out of her diaper all over every layer of clothing -for the FOURTH time in TWO days.

Seriously though, how can you be frustrated at all when she looks this happy?
You can't :)
She's so much fun.

PS: Do you think she's getting enough to eat?
Are 3 rolls on your thigh enough at 2 months? How about 1 roll on your forearm, 1 on your wrist, 1 on your bicep and a pot belly?

Amelia's Baby Blessing

November 1, 2009

What a wonderful weekend. We were so blessed to have family and friends here for Amelia's blessing day and we had such a fun weekend. My dad came from New Mexico and my sister came from Texas. Andrew's parents and brother came from Portland and his other brother came from Utah. It was wonderful and made me wish we lived closer to all of our family members.

This is the dress I wore for my baby blessing. It was so neat to have Amelia wear it. The lace was a little yellow, but with multiple washings and soakings it looked pretty good. The shoes were the ones I wore too. Unfortunately we don't have a picture of me in the dress, but I loved her in it.

Lisa took this picture on our drive to church.

I think she looks very serious like she knew the importance of this day.
My dad thinks she looks like Maggie from the Simpsons sucking on her pacifier.

Either way, she's cute.

As Lisa and I like to say: A thorn between two roses...
As my dad likes to say: A rose between two thorns...

However you chose to look at it, this treo had a ton of fun together! We had a great weekend laughing, joking and playing. I love my family so much and it was wonderful having two of them here this weekend.

Fall Walks in Oregon
We went on a couple of beautiful walks while our families were here. Fall in Oregon is so beautiful and the weather was great. It was so fun to get out and enjoy it.

Some other random pictures

Amelia loves her dad. She has always loved the sound of his voice and loves to look and smile at him. I love this picture of her staring at Andrew so intently. He is such a good dad.

Quite awake time. I love this time. It usually happens after she eats and she is just content and happy. She usually smiles and plays for a few minutes, and then will zone out in a state of quiet happiness. Love it.

I really do love this little girl so much. She is such a sweetheart and I love spending my days with her and can't imagine anything I'd rather do. She is a good, fun baby and I feel so lucky to be able to stay home and raise her. What a joy she is to me. We love her so much.

This is when we picked Lisa up from the airport. Her shirt says, "I wuv my wittle Aunt Wisa." It's a hilarious inside joke.

Hilarious, right Lisa?!

Halloween

October 31, 2009

The grandparents seem to agree that this is not a cute costume and that we should not dress our daughter in a pig outfit. Andrew and I, on the other hand, think she looks adorable! Just goes to show that we are the stereotypical parents who think our daughter is cute in everything...but I think we're right!
The costume came from a friend's daughter, so if it makes our parents feel any better, we didn't buy it. And she didn't even wear it for Halloween, she just tried it on for the picture :)


And there you have it. A ton of pictures from our weekend. Unfortunately they don't even begin to illustrate the fun we had together, the beauty of the Fall in Oregon, the delicious food we ate, or how cute Amelia is...so you had better come for a visit to find out!
