6 Weeks Old

Here is Amelia at 6 weeks old.

5 Weeks Old!

I just thought I would do an update video on Amelia. She is 5 weeks old now. She likes to sit up on the couch and make faces with me. We got lots of smiles today. She is such a happy girl in the morning. This morning was the first time Jared really got to hang out with us and see all her neat tricks. He's been so busy doing side jobs or leaving early for meetings on Sundays. Today he didn't have any meetings. At church Jared wore the ring sling while I taught class and she slept the whole time. She also lasted halfway through the next hour with him. It was so weird to be without her for that long. I loved teaching my class though. I missed them!

Amelia rolled over again this week. Yeah, she's pretty amazing.

Fun with Grant and Mason!

We went on a walk to the park in IB with our two little guy friends Mason and Grant. And we were super stylin' in our Bob strollers. Amelia tried out the swing at the park for the first time. She wasn't a fan, but we'll get there soon enough.

19 Days Old

This is the third time she's rolled over!!! 19 days old....but she did roll over a couple days ago when I wasn't watching. She did start out flat on her stomach.

Playing Dress up .... Again. About 10 days old

Mommy's playing dress up..... again.

Happy Valentines Day!

Cuddling with Grandma Niles

Playing Dress Up

This is the Valentines Day outfit my Mom bought Amelia.

My mom was here for about 2 weeks and four days. It was so nice to have her here. She slept on our comfy couch. She cleaned and cooked for us. We did some shopping. And just had a good time hanging out. She made 3 blankets while she was here.

She is such an easy baby. So cuddly.

Amelia Louise Niles

We are so in love with our daughter. She was born February 6th at 10:09 pm. Weight: 9lbs 14oz. Height: 21.25 inches. The birth was a great experience... thanks to my husband and the epidural. We are all doing really good. We went on a walk today and yesterday using the ring sling Nicole made me.

Mom was here till Wednesday, extending her stay. It was so nice to have her here. Bob and Jeanne have been lifesavers providing dinners, along with friends from church. I really appreciate the extra help. I don't even think about that stuff. Today I took off thinking I would grab something to eat before I left. I totally forgot.... I just think: eat, sleep, poop :)

I'm learning to take naps when she does. I finally got one in last night and again today. It makes such a difference. Even if it's only a half hour. Amelia likes to keep me up at night. I look over at Jared peacefully sleeping and get a little jealous. Then I look at my daughter and don't want to put her down when she finally does go to sleep. She is so beautiful.
