Pictures!

Trying to teach Amy to crawl :)

Already likes The Little Mermaid

She loves pulling all of my shirts off their hangers

Plastic, yum!

A few seconds earlier, she was up on her knees. I didn't get the camera in time.

Weirdo

8 months and still no chompers

I know, I should be happy that she hasn't gone through teething yet, but I just want to get it over with, haha. I'm afraid that the older she gets, the worse it will be for her.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on with her. She's getting really big, already wearing 12m clothes. She's sitting well, and even pulled herself up on her knees in her crib the other day. She also grabs everything is reach, and pulls. Her favorite thing to grab is my hair of course. And she's like a ninja. Grabs and pulls and I am halfway to the floor before I even realize it. When we go to stores, she reaches for anything she can get her hands on.

She seems to be constantly happy. Sometimes I think that somewhere along the way, Brandon replaced her with a robot. A smiling, laughing, happy robot. And hey, I'm not complaining at all. I'm just amazed by it. She is always so good. I don't know how we got so lucky!

This coming Thursday, we will be heading to NYC for Melissa's graduation from Brooklyn Law School! So that is pretty exciting. And it will be nice to see them again. And then after NYC, me and Amy are heading to Texas to visit more family and friends. Unfortunately, Brandon has to come back home to go to work :(

We're really looking forward to the trip. Hopefully Amy will do as good on this one as she did on the last one.

I have taken some pictures lately, but as usual, I haven't gotten them off my camera (and my camera is currently in the room with a sleeping baby, so I'd rather not disturb anything). I'll try to add some in the next few days)

Dress Up

I decided Amy looked like she wanted to play a little dress up today. So I put Brandon's tie and my hat on her. And got what I think is my favorite picture of her yet.

Easter and other fun stuff

Melissa came to visit us for a week during her spring break, and Joseph came for a weekend. It was quite fun and Amy enjoyed having more people to give her attention. Though I am pretty sure after the week was over, she never wanted to be in her stroller again. She saw lots of the city though! And of course, got new stuff ;)

We went to the Jean Talon market and bought lots of fruit for our Easter picnic at Mont Royal. The weather ended up being a bit chilly, but it was still nice. We also did a lot of walking around the city.

Amy is learning to sit up on her own. She does pretty good for a few seconds, and then usually tries to grab the ground and falls over. She also seems to prefer mine and Brandon's toys over her own. She loves the laptop and ipod and remote, anything she can get her hands on that she is not supposed to. Her toys are no fun anymore now that she has found ours.

She's also been eating real food for a few weeks now. Not a fan of peas (though I'm not giving up!). She does pretty good. She got a bit mad at me after I kept feeding her the peas and didn't want to eat for a few days, but she is better now. I think I just have to mix stuff with cereal for a couple meals so that she can get used to the taste. She seems to take to new foods better that way.

Pea face!

Picture Post (Warning-Lots of Pictures!)

Some new pictures, some older ones (from Christmas), but here are lots of pictures for you to see. If you've seen my facebook, then there is nothing new here.

Doctors day 2

Amy went to get her vaccine today. Only one shot this time! And it wasn't the painful one, so she didn't cry at all. Didn't even seem to notice the needle. I was so proud of her. Though I am dreading her next round (in 6 more months), because that one is 3 shots, all in the shoulder and 2 of them have the painful medicine. That will not be a fun appointment.

The nurse today (with the actual chart) said Amy is both the height and weight of a 10 month old baby. And that she is above the 97th percentile.

Brandon has been sick lately, and now I think he might have gotten me sick. Stuffy nose, coughing, dry throat, the usual... I just hope Amy doesn't get sick.

We've been a bit busy, so I still haven't gotten the chance to get on the other computer to get the pictures, but they'll be up soon.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

6 Months

Amy turned 6 months old on Monday, and everything is going very well. She is growing and growing. We went to her doctor today, they said she is the height of a 9 month old and one pound less than the average one year old.

She's been eating cereal, which she does very well with, and we've also given her some bananas the past couple of nights, which she also has been doing pretty good with. She's still very happy and laughing so much. It's amazing to see how much she can learn already!

Brandon went back to work a few weeks ago, which I think is a love/hate thing for him. And Melissa is visiting us right now, so that's been a lot of fun. Amy loves having someone else here for her to play with.

I finally got my laptop fixed, so I can use that more often now. But all of our pictures are on the computer in the bedroom, so I can't post any at the moment (Amy is asleep in there). I will try and get some up fairly soon.
