Amelia's first halloween! We made sugar cookies and then went to a Halloween party. She liked seeing the other kids that she didn't even touch her feathers. I wasn't sure they would survive the evening but they made it home in one piece!

Expanding horizons
In an effort to introduce Amelia to all foods, I gave her a cucumber today to "munch." Her face says it all.

Dinner
I think the days of us going out to eat and Amelia sitting quietly in her stroller are officially over. We had to take turns with her when we went out to eat with some friends last weekend. She's so busy!

Flea market
We ventured out this morning to the flea market. Maybe a mistake since at 9 am it was 95 degrees! It was like a giant garage sale. Amelia was a trooper but much happier when got got her out of the stroller and carried her.

The pacifier
This comes in handy when I'm driving and can't turn around to help her get it in the right way.

Arms up
Ever since Amelia was born she's wanted her arms up by her head when she sleeps. Now that she's not swaddled when she sleeps, this is her favorite sleeping position. We know she's in a deep sleep when we see her like this.

Firsts
Amelia's first tooth is breaking through on her bottom gums. Poor thing has been miserable the past few days. It's a first for her to feel such pain and a first for us to deal with a crying baby. Despite all of that, I love this girl. Love, love, love!

Contagious
There's no sound in this world like the belly laugh of a baby, it's so contagious. I want it to be my ring tone. Amelia had been fussy all day. We're thinking teeth?!? So this was a welcome sound at the end of a very long day.

Sitting up...well almost
Amelia sitting up for the first time! Okay, so she needed a little help from me and support from that box.

Crib dangers
I decided not to put a bumper on Amelia's crib for safety reasons. But does this look safe to anyone?!
Swimming
We've been taking Amelia down to the pool after Josh gets home from work when it's shaded from the sun. It takes her about 10 minutes to warm up to it and then she can't stop splashing. She loves it!

30th birthday
It was our good friend jen's 30th birthday yesterday and we wanted Amelia to send her a birthday greeting. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get her to smile...maybe she knew turning 30 can sometimes be daunting. We sent the photo onto Jen and she thinks we should turn it into a hallmark card: "turning 30 isn't that scary!"

Happy fourth!
Amelia is tuckered out after an exciting fourth of July celebration. She can handle only so much swimming, watermelon and hanging out with friends.

Father's day
Josh was in Minnesota on Father's day last week so we're celebrating today. He got breakfast in bed and a home made cherry pie. Despite all of that I think this was his favorite part...a Friday afternoon nap with Amelia.

Hands
I put a key chain in her hand the other day and she held on long enough to shake them a few times, smack herself in the face, then let go. At least at the end she was still smiling!

Yas Marina
We found a Groupon for a 20 minute ride in a Formula One race car at the Yas Marina Circuit. Our friends sick at the last minute so we were left with two rides. Josh offered the second ride to me but I gladly let him ride twice. After seeing how fast they went and Josh's face after they were done, I know I made the right decision.

Madinat
We went to dinner with some friends last night at the Al Qasr hotel in Jumeirah. Amelia was a trooper and slept all through dinner.

Fujairah
Happy 3 year anniversary to me and Josh! To celebrate we went to Fujairah, another Emirate in the UAE, thanks to a LivingSocial voucher I purchased a few months ago. Fujairah is about a 2 hour car ride from Dubai and luckily we timed it right and Amelia slept the entire way! It wasn't quite the romantic get away that we've enjoyed in the past but we we're happy that Amelia is along for the ride these days.
