Milestone...rolling over

I couldn't have asked for a better way to end my 1/2 days with Amelia. My last afternoon at home with her (Oct. 22) she gave me the greatest gift...I was there to see her roll over for the first time! She had done it a couple of times on the bed, but this was her first "real" rolling over...at least in my book. She did it three times that weekend, and I was lucky enough to catch the third time on video. Unfortunately, she hasn't rolled over since...she must have known I needed that moment to help me through the next week.

Sorry for the poor video quality - I'm still working on my camera skills.

Newborn pics

I finally got Amelia's newborn pics back from the photographer. Here are a few of my favorites!

Has it really been so long?

I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted; I don't even know where to start. So rather than try to recapture the last month, I'm just going to start from where we are now and try to do better in the future!

Amelia had her 2 month check up on Friday. She weighed in at a healthy 9 pounds 6 oz. and is 20 3/4 inches long. She is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 10th percentile for length, which is consistent for where she was at her first appointment. She also had her first round of shots and I'm happy to report that we all survived! Jon was there...probably less for Amelia and more for me :) Amelia certainly didn't enjoy the shots, but was her normal self once we got home that afternoon.

In other big firsts, last night was Amelia's first night in her crib and it went amazingly well. We were up from 3-5 am, but that isn't unusual on occasion. And tomorrow is her first day in daycare. She will be going for 1/2 days for two weeks to help us (me, mainly) ease into it.

With so many firsts this week, I'm not sure how I did (or will) survive, but Amelia seems to be such an easy-going baby, that I don't worry about how she will do, and that is a wonderful feeling.
