1 Month

Amelia is starting to stay awake a little longer in between feedings and not sleep all the time.  There are a few things that I do not want to forget about this magical baby time.

The sounds she makes when drinking her bottle.
Her milk mustache and milk induced coma face when she is done drinking her bottle.
Her loud burps.
That she hates to be naked, diaper changes, clothes change, bath time.
How bright eyed she is at her 3am feeding, and how she stares into my eyes while slowly drinking all 4 oz.
Her left eye is still a little swollen and in her sleepy state she only opens her right eye.

Meeting Family

One thing is for sure, Amelia will always have plenty of family and friends to love on her.  Our home has had visitors coming and going since Amelia came home with us.  It is amazing watching family meet Amelia and instantly love her.  

-Aunt Amy thinks we named Amelia after her, since they are kind of the same name?  

          Amy is competing for the title of "Favorite Aunt"

-Our nephew Ty calles her Babia, rather than Baby Amelia.  And he loves kissing her on the head.

We had such a good time meeting the Barton Family on Sunday.  We love that Amelia will know her birth family and have relationships with them. Thank you for the gifts, and accepting us as family.  Amelia loves her swing, it puts her right to sleep.  

Top 10-March

Top 10 will be our favorite photos from the month.

 This is photo is priceless of Breanna and Amelia in the hospital.  

Kevin holding Amelia and her staring up at him.

Any time Amelia squeaks while taking a nap, Ace runs into the room, jumps on the bed and makes sure she is okay.  He is such a good brother!

Breannas first visit to see us after placement.  

Amelias eyes are so alert and wide open after her baths.  

Enjoying the spring air with Ace on our daily walks.  Amelia loves the stroller.

Amelia started sucking her thumb.  When she sucks her thumb, her fingers are always extended straight, usually covering her face.

 Tummy Time, she is getting so strong!

Her bright eyes.
