Mommy's Model Baby

Here is sweet Amelia in the outfit I made her yesterday! I think it is sooo stinking cute and was happy that it fit her! I think I will have her wear it at least once a week! Thanks to Auntie Jen who made the cute flower clip. It matched this outfit perfectly! 

I have been thinking about making these little outfits and dresses for others. I have no idea what I will charge for them yet. But I know it won't be 50 dollars like a lot of people. I need to make some bigger sizes to practice. I am sure I will be able to do it I just want to make sure I have the sizing right, because I don't use a  pattern. But I am sure sweet Ana Kate wouldn't mind sporting a dress made by me. She LOVES dresses and ruffles... so that will be my mission! I am also making a couple outfits for Farrah. Her first birthday is just a few weeks away! YES,  little Farrah that I used to babysit will be one year old March 15th. I will be sure to post pictures of the finished projects.

Hand Made

I have always wanted to be one of those moms who made their child  special outfits and Halloween costumes. Although I have never really taken lesson on how to sew I am fairly good at it. I can handle simple tasks and can follow a pattern. When we found out we where having a girl I was not only excited that I was going to be able to dress her up all the time but that I could maybe make her some outfits! I made her coming home from the hospital dress and now two other outfits.
Thursday Amelia wore her zebra dress (hospital dress) again. It is crazy that now it fits more like a shirt but equally adorable!

Yes the bow is huge... but I love it!

Here is the dress I just made her tonight. She is going to wear it tomorrow... hopefully it isn't too big on her.

This week has been a bit busy for us. We had some friends come over Thursday at lunch time to meet Amelia. Jeremy, Kelly and their daughter, June. Baby June is 5 months old and cute as can be. I didn't take any photos while they were here... dang! Friday at lunch Amelia and I met up with my friend Bea for a lunch date. It is nice to get out and about. Amelia is so good when we are out. She is always sleeping! As soon as she gets in the car she falls asleep.
Back to Thursday. I had to run to Wal-Mart for just a few items. When I got to the checkout I was at the front of the cart and Amelia was of course snapped to the seat part. I was loading up the stuff on the counter when the checkout girl right next to us went over to Amelia. At first I thought she was just looking at her. I kept one eye on her while still loading my stuff up. I looked over and she had removed Amelia's blanket off   her and touching her feet.I tried to stay calm and not say anything. The girl was asking questions about Amelia when I walked back to be next to little A by then the girl was touching Amelia's hands and face! I was shocked! Then I got really angry when the girl touched Amelia's paci when it fell out. YES.... She not only touch the paci but the nipple side of it. I yelled at her

 "DON"T TOUCH MY BABY!!! It is RUDE to touch a baby who you don't know. Who know what kind of NASTY germs you have all over your hands. She is only 5 1/2 weeks old.... it is NOT OK to touch a newborn you don't know! "

The girl just went on like it didn't even bother her I yelled and continued to ask questions. I am pretty sure she wasn't all the way there in the head. The sweet lady who rang me couldn't believe what her co-worker had just done. She said that girl is always touching babies and kids..... maybe our little "chat" will make her think twice. I swear if I go back to Wal-Mart and asked to leave the store I won't be surprised! I was so mad. I wanted to get the heck out of there as fast as I could. 

I mean don't get me wrong... I love when people stop at look at Amelia and tell me how cute she is. But don't touch my baby or I will throw a fit! I have no idea where your hands have been and lets face it those carts everyone touches are just down right nasty! I think from now on I will have her in the Moby Wrap. Or maybe I will make a stop sign for her car seat! :)

I was looking though our SD card and I noticed I haven't taken but a few pictures of Amelia this week. I will take some tomorrow and post them..... don't worry  Auntie Jen!

Amelia and I ran around town a little bit today. It got really chilly here over night so I bundled Amelia up in her fleece outfit.
Speaking of outfits... Amelia is in newborn cloths still but it seems like baby cloths are just like adults. They all vary in size... Some outfits are too small already and some way to big still.

Okay back to our day. Our first stop was to the salon. I had ordered some girl scout cookies and needed to pick them up. I had ordered 5 boxes... Don't judge I was pregnant when I ordered them. Now I don't want any cookies in the house let alone 5 stinkin boxes! I have already opened a box....
We stayed at the shop for awhile and visited. A few of my clients where there and got to meet/hold Amelia.
After the salon we headed to WM. We need just a few things to pick up.



After we got home I fed Amelia. While eating she well... Blew her diaper out! It was a mess..all up her back and my arms! I cleaned her up and fed her some more. As I went to burp her,she threw up down the front of both of us....nice! Needless to say she had to get a bath tonight. Bath times have been SO much better lately. And tonight she was loving her bath!






Hopefully she will sleep good tonight. She has been doing pretty good still, we have had only a few restless nights. Like I said before Amelia is truly a good baby.

Holy Cuteness

I just wanted to share some super cuteness with you! We had a wonderful Saturday. It was BEAUTIFUL out. It felt like spring! The three of us went to lunch then off to do a bit of shopping. We snapped some photos of Little A before we left the house. She looked so darn cute today!

 Those tiny feet couldn't get any cuter!

This picture MELTS my heart. It is one of many favorites!

Could our girl be any sweeter?

Hope everyone had a great Saturday. We are ending our day  snuggled on the couch with pizza and a movie. I hope tomorrow we have a spring like day too!

Thanks Deric!!

My phone shorted out on Monday (v-day). I could still use it but when I slide out the keyboard the screen when blank. So Deric offered to get me an iPhone 4!! We went wenesday night to buy the phone.So far I am loving it! I loved my iPod touch so I knew I would like the iPhone. Today was due first day I have really messed with the camera. I don't know why I waited to use it!

One Month

 Happy ONE MONTH birthday, Amelia! I can hardly believe it has been one month since you came into our lives. We are beyond grateful for you and love you to the moon and back!

Your One month old stats

~ You weigh a little over 8 pound according to our scale

~You are a breast milk baby... you LOVE to eat

~You took to your paci right away at the hospital and get MAD when you loose it

~You do take a bottle of breast milk at least once a day (mommy wanted you to learn to use a bottle)

~You wear newborn clothes but your arms and legs are a big long for them

~You are in newborn diapers but have sported your cloth diapers a few times while we are home

~You have just exploded one diaper so far (while on my lap) but you are a spit up girl. You alway spit up on daddy when he burps you! haha

~You take naps in your crib but at night you are in your pack-n-play in our room.

~You are a GREAT sleeper. You nap 3 times a day for about 2 hours. At night you fall asleep between 9- 9:30 and wake up between 2 am-3am. Then back to sleep till about 7am. Last night you slept from 9:30 to 4am!!! I think you will be sleeping through the night soon! 

~You HATED your  baths at first but in the last week you decided they weren't that bad. You now get mad when I take you out!

~ You rolled over from your belly to your back a few times

~You can smile and coo but haven't really smiled at anyone yet... although I think you smiled at me but I think that is wishful thinking! :)

~You have met your Grandpa Tim, Gigi and Aunt Jen when you were born and they LOVE you to pieces. Also your Grandma Linda came when you were 2 weeks old and she adores and loves you bunches too.

~ You have witnessed your first "blizzard" when you were 2-3 weeks old

~Have made trips to all our favorite stores and been to Mommy's Salon twice. We are going to Daddy's work tomorrow.

~You are by far the BEST thing that has happened to your Daddy and I. We can not kiss on you enough! I am sure you have already had a BILLION kisses from us. 

I have my friend Cari to thank for the block idea! I thought it was so cute and had to do it for Amelia's monthly pictures! So yes.. Amelia will have her sticker/ tutu pictures and her block pictures every month!

 I know I am her mommy.. but geezzz.... could she be any CUTER!! I think she is the sweetest thing on earth!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Heart Day to all of our Family and Friends! Mommy and Daddy say I am the best little Valentine EVER! I had a great First Valentine's Day.  Mom and I ran around town today (I slept the whole time). I even had a sleeper that said "First Valentine's Day" but Mommy didn't get a picture because I was in wearing it for 2 minutes before I puked all over it and Daddy.

XOXO,

Amelia 

P.S. Mom said she would do my monthly post on the 17th.... even though I was 4 weeks old today. But I slept a bunch and mom wake me to get into my 1 month outfit.
