Here's one of Amelia's favorite things to do right now.
And here is what Mommy usually has to say about it.

Tired
All the crawling and standing and getting into everything she shouldn't is making an extremely tired baby by nighttime.
Sometimes it's nice to end the day with a little Baby Einstein!

Christmas Card
A little late but they're still done and will be in the mail this week. Yay!
By the way I absolutely love adobe photoshop elements. With a little tweaking to the picture (or should I say pictures. Yup this was actually two I put together) we were able to take this picture all by ourselves.

Ugg
Amelia had her 9 month check up last week. She's doing great! She's 60-94 for percentiles (weight, height, and head circumference.) The doctor said she's looking perfect.
Now let's talk about that raging rash that's been on her trunk for a couple of weeks and just won't go away. "Oh yeah, that's eczema. I'll give you a steroid cream but only use it when the eczema is really bad." And she continues to fill out paper work without saying any more. I'm thinking:
1. Ugg! No! I didn't want it to be eczema but figured it was.
2. So I'm getting this cream I'm only supposed to use when the eczema is really bad. Why is that and how is this possibly going to make her feel better if I can only use it sparingly.
3. You're not going to tell me anymore about this? Like what's causing it?
Fortunately even though I was in denial about it being eczema I still know a whole lot about it. If I'm not careful and avoid certain things I'll have eczema too. Instantly the first thing I thought could be causing this was breads & wheat as she has been eating more and more of those lately. So we immediately cut that from her diet and every time we change her diaper we put a sensitive lotion on the rash. In two days it had cleared up a lot and not even a week later it is almost gone. I never did use that prescription cream on her and I'm finding out more and more bad things about it anyways.
So I'm trying to find some other new foods to give her. She's had brown rice and lentils and surprisingly she really likes the lentils. Hopefully this is something she will grow out of.

Green Beans
Remember when Amelia first had green beans and she gagged? She absolutely hated them.
Now she loves them! Out of the mixed veggie bag she will pick those first to eat.
So I bought a bag of just green beans. She wouldn't eat them and the only reason I can fathom is because the were french cut. Hum... sounds like someone else we know and love. Lucas will only eat french cut canned green beans.
Of course if there is a carb option available (pancakes, bread, toast, tortilla) she'll choose that first. She gets that from her mama.

Christmas at Grandpa's
We went to grandpa John's over the weekend to celebrate Christmas. It was Amelia's first time opening presents. She loved it!
She crawled right up on the box banging on it as if saying get it out! I need to play!
Daddy got a 1972 Gran Torino hubcab clock. We have a '74 Gran Torino and it was our getaway car for our wedding so this was a pretty neat gift. He also really needs a clock in the garage, so now there are no more excuses for coming in late!
Athena is getting to be a big kid! She helped Kait make pumpkin breaded pudding which was delicious. She also made a treat for her aunts and uncles all by herself! It was the pretzels with rolos melted in them. Yum!
