Hello?

Sheesh. I haven't had internet for daaaaaaaays and I had an entire tirade to share, but I have decided not to. This is mainly because I am already over the lack of professionalism and service that AT&T offered me.

So, on to more important things. Such as...Miss Amelia Claire Halsted turning 5 months old. She is as cute as ever. See?

As if you even doubted...

At five months old she is trying to sit up on her own, crawling backwards, loving her Exer Saucer, and drumming on everything in sight. She has eaten squash and peas and loved them both. I am nursing in the morning, formula during the day, and nursing at night. She is melting my heart on a daily basis. As I type this, she is SLEEPING IN HER PACK N PLAY. Do not get too excited, as she has only been in there for 26 minutes. However, I just wanted this moment to be documented. In reality, she is still pretty much sleeping with us in the chair, but we are slowly working on making progress.

Amelia shares the 21st with her Aunt Stephanie (and Deacon--Happy 11 months). Happy Birthday Steph! We will be home in a few days to celebrate. I pray that if the Lord blesses us with another girl that her and Amelia have the relationship we do. It is almost daily that I thank him for my built-in best friend. Every day at home growing up was like having a friend over to play and spend the night. I know you are not a fan of moosh and goosh, so I am done now.

Okay, okay, more pictures. Here she is hard at work spinning her chickens.



Mom, are you getting this?

Today we went to Target and I had Amelia in a cute little blue outfit with a blue bow. A lady stopped me and said, "Is that a little girl? In blue?" I said, "Um..yes. We are bucking the system." She said, "Good for you. Little girls can wear blue if they want."

Here is Amelia in her blue doing yoga. Don't you wish you were as fashion forward as her? Wear something this week just because you want to.
I went home this weekend for Kayla's baby shower. It seems weird that she started out just doing my hair, but now is a great friend. She is so cute pregnant, even if she won't decide on a baby name.
Is this a hodge-podge overload? Are you even reading or just looking at the pictures? Hmm. More tomorrow. Oh, and at some point during this post, Amelia awoke. I rocked her and put her back in the pack n play. There she resides. For now. :)
