Birthday Party

Amelia recently went to a party at My Gym for a boy in her class. They really put on a good party there. The kids had a blast and it was nice for me to be able to sit down and chat with the other moms.

Copy Cat

Tell me these two girls don't look just the same.

Rolling Over

Nina is just SOOOOO close to rolling over. She is so strong, it amazes me everyday how fast she is growing.

Halloween

Amelia designed her own costume this year so it should not come as a shock that it is very Pippi-ish. She was a kitty-cat ballerina. Nina was a strawberry, which was so adorable.

Scarecrows

Last week we went down to Old Colorado City to see the scarecrows that all the businesses build and display. It was fun. Our favorite was the scarecrow tea party complete with a pram full of scarecrow babies.


First was a stop at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for a caramel apple. Amelia chose chocolate covered marshmallows though.



Amelia, Alessandra and Marco just loved this giant rubber duck and the giant candy pieces in there too.



Peeking through.



The Farmer Scarecrows.

Pippi Longstocking

We like to call Amelia Pippi Longstocking because she has the same sense of style. She likes to mix and match shoes, gloves, different pattern clothes. She will always look wild if given the chance to dress herself, which she gets often since it doesn't bother me that she looks like a crazy orphan. Here are some examples of her Pippi-ness.

Two different gloves (Grandma too).



Wild leggings with an already wild dress.

2 Months

Nina is already growing faster than I would like. She is 2 months old already. She loves to smile and coo. She loves the ceiling fan and her crib mobile. She always falls asleep in the car. Nina is a pretty good sleeper, which I am very thankful for. She refuses to drink from a bottle, preferring Mommy instead. She loves to be held facing out so she can see all the things around her. She had her checkup today and weighs 10 lbs 12 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long. She is in the 85% for height, 50% for weight and 70% for head circumference. So she is tall and average with a big bobble head or in other words, perfect.


"Please quit taking my picture, Mom."



One happy baby!
