6 months Today!

Happy Birthday to our little "half" year old baby!  These past months haven't exactly flown by, but it's still weird to think she's already been with us for six whole months.  And we continue to love her more and more every single day!

So, after her shots on Friday she was not her usual happy self.  The old Amelia came out and I still wonder how Kevin and I made it through those rough times in the beginning.  She slept for 2.5 hours when we got home from the doctor (very unusual since she only takes 15-20 minute cat naps).  Then she had a fever and was super fussy.  Luckily she slept from 6:30pm to 5:00am, but she woke up very fussy and stayed that way for most of Saturday.  And she still had a fever.  Sometimes I wonder about having all of those vaccinations (4!) at the same time.  Today she was back to her chipper self and even surprised us with a new word!  "Da -Da"!!  She obviously is not saying it purposefully, but it sure is fun to hear.  We took a video we'll post below.

Kevin had his holiday party on Saturday night so Grandpa and Grandma Z came to babysit.  Greg, Pauline, and Christopher came over to visit before we left so it was nice to see everybody.  Christopher even helped me give Amelia a bath. 

Amelia's big milestones are sitting up all by herself for as long as she wants to, using her pincer grasp to pick up objects, eating all cereals, veggies, fruits, meats (YUCK), and puffs, and saying "yayayaya" and "dadadadadada".  We are working on the crawling, but I think it will be a while.  She has no arm strength like her mama.  :(

Posing!

Her hair is really starting to come in now!
