Playdate!



Amelia got together with her little friends on December 21st in Sac Town! We had so much fun!!
Olivia is 2 months old, little Andrew, the newest addition is only 1 week old...and Amelia is 5 months old. It's a great reminder of how fast babies grow! I am so blessed to have such close friends with babies....which translates into lots of future playdates, memories and mommy get togethers to share, laugh and maybe even cry. 






We can't forget Big Boy Isaiah who is 2 years...he's definitely the ring leader of the pack! :)






Ahhh...I can see the memories and bonds forming already! In several years, they will all be about the same size and will be able to easily play together...That's hard to believe since when they are just babies, they grow so fast from week to week. Wow! I love being a Mommy! :)

What's new since Halloween, Thanksgiving and almost Christmas???

What's new.......Amelia is 5 months old has 2 teeth now! (She got her first tooth at 4 months.,..yes, ouch!) Amelia laughs....rolls over....weighs in at almost 14 lbs.....Amelia attends school once a week (my baby group I teach at Cameron)....
She just started rice cereal about a week ago.  She was in her first wedding (my big sister got married on December 5th)....Amelia was the junior flowergirl...she got pulled down the aisle in a decorated wagon. Super cute...I'm waiting for the photos from the photographer!

 We went to the Christmas tree farm in Dixon after Thanksgiving and picked out our first tree together as a family! She met Santa and some reindeer too! See pics below :)


























Also, Amelia got put in a giant pumpkin that we carved for Halloween. See below..haha! She wasn't too sure about the gook. She dressed up as a pink bunny on Halloween. She helped pick out her pumpkin too.


Her friend from Benicia as we carved the pumpkins!






Now she likes her pumpkin!




The pumpkin farm....sitting amongst many pumpkins!



I just realized that I'm posting pics from most recent to oldest...Oooppps... Below are some photos from her first Thanksgiving. We went to my parents house in Concord and enjoyed a feast! That was when Amelia had her first taste of solid food.....no, not turkey, not even mashed potatoes...but delicious organice brown rice cereal! We all had our cameras ready and the video camera turned on....as I started to put the first taste in her mouth....her lower lip started to tremble and she screamed and cried! Sooo sad! Probably the nervousness of everyone standing around her with our cameras in her face. Poor baby! Since then though, I have tried it again and she's been eating successfully for one week! Probably after Christmas I will try some fruits and veggies. That oughta taste more pleasant eh? She loves her food though!










Her Auntie Melanie and cousin Weston!!

Lastly....the practice for the wedding....before the wagon was finished. 



If I post at least one post per month...I'm doing good right? :) Thanks to all who look..I also changed the setting, I think...so now you can leave a comment! Would love to hear from  you..that way I know that people are actually seeing my blog. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with peace, love and joy and a very extra special New Year!

My year this year was extra special with the birth of our first daughter Amelia!! Blessings!!
