Wow it's been a really long time!  I hope your ready for a long post I have a lot of catching up to do.

Amelia has been working on a couple of teeth for the past weeks.  There are two for sure, maybe three.  Nothing has popped through yet but they are very close!  Usually babies get their front teeth first.  Not my baby, she has to do things her way!  She's getting back teeth first. 

Shortly after discovering how to control her hands, Amelia's feet began spending all of their time in the air.  (By the way, I was asked on this day if she was a boy.  Come on lady!  Bow, ruffles, purple,earrings.....)

Pretty soon she started grabbing them all of the time and once her feet ended up in her mouth!

Instead of sitting she now prefers standing.  She loves it when I hold on to her hands and pull her up to standing.  Then I'll drop her back and let her land on the bed.  This is her favorite and usually gets giggles.  Oh yeah, she also laughs and squeals at the top of her lungs all the time. 

Here she is showing you how she likes to stand.  Guess where we are....

She had her very first trip to the Mall of America.  She didn't really care for riding in the stroller.  I think it's because my spoiled baby loves being up higher like when I carry her in the Moby so people can fully drool over her. 

She loved the American Girl Doll store!  She laughed and smiled and talked to the dolls.  So cute!

This week Lucas' family minus Athena and Dominic came to town and we all went out so Amelia had her very first sleep over at Grandma's house.  She did a great job and stuck to her usual sleeping schedule for Grandma. 

One more new thing we have discovered.  She loves to be held up above my head and then brought down.  Only if it is a slower motion.  When I almost through her up she looks scared.  I tell her it's ok but I'm not sure she believes me yet.
