Amelia is a full-time job. Luckily, she's my full-time job and I can devote all of my time and energy to her. She is growing and changing so much, and I can't believe she's been home almost 3 weeks. She has certainly developed her social smile and is especially smiley after she wakes up from a good nap or has a full belly. Sometimes when she's smiling I get overwhelmed with what she is. Joe and I created her and she's here with us...it's so odd to think about! She is a good mix of both us. Most people say she looks like Joe, but I see myself in her too. Joe thinks she looks like him when she is still and calm, and like me when she's showing emotion. She certainly is a passionate little girl, and yes, she definitely gets that from me.
Today we'll go to Galesburg to see my midwife Amy for my 6 week check-up. I need to give Amelia bath today, which I dread somewhat because she absolutely hates her baths. Hopefully that is not an indication of how she will feel in the water. Which reminds me that we bought her her first swim suit yesterday! It's a stylish yellow swim shirt with a daisy and striped boy shorts suit from Target. Hopefully come spring we will get her in the Y pool. I should also mention that Joe got her to roll over yesterday, which he bragged about. I think it helped that she was already on an incline, but I won't steal his thunder.
Hope your appointment went well! Parker hated the baths too, until I made the water warmer and kept him cuddled in the towel when lotioning and diapering him after. Now we're big fans! :)
ReplyDeleteTravis came home and bragged about how adorable Mia was at school today and how he got to see her and I didn't. I think Miss Mia already has many friends! ;)
