All About Amelie

well here we are at week 7 day 3 and i can hardly believe how much this little girl is growing. she is really really wanting to talk these days. she takes a big breath and then tries to turn it into a sound and she gets really wiggly and excited at the prospect of being such a big girl. she LOVES oliver. everytime he comes around her, he just wants to snuggle and love her and she gets so smiley. i can tell they are going to be great friends. she has always been really strong and loves to stand up and lift her head all on her own. she is still sleeping great at night, usually just waking up once to eat. she is pretty easy-going except for at night between about 7 to 10 when she has her fussy time. she still hates her car seat but is learning. we're hoping she'll make our drive to utah for thanksgiving bearable:) i've learned that combining the car seat with fussy time is a deadly combination. but actually after about 5 minutes of screaming she's over it and calms down. oliver never let up that fast so we are already hoping for easier sleep training when we cross that bridge. it's pretty amazing to think for 9 months what she'll be like and then before you know it she's here and she's just what we always hoped for. her daddy is especially smitten.
