Do you Bumbo?

The Bumbo has landed! David came home with a new baby seat for Amelia last week and the craziest thing happens when you put her in it. She instantly ages several months. So, in an effort to keep her our little baby, we have ceased all neck-strengthening exercises and dress her only in the newborn clothing that she came home from the hospital in. (As you can imagine she looks a bit like a sausage.) All kidding aside, Amelia is growing up quickly - packing on the weight, learning to make motorboat noises, and moving into 6 month clothing already. And she's zuper-smart. (She's proof reading this post as we speak.) That's our little genius!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Amelia and her daddy were cheering for the Cubbies until they lost. Everybody in the house is so sad. (All except for mommy, who is still pulling for the Sox. Go Boston! But don't tell Dave and Amelia - they're still in mourning.)

Baby's First Snow

Okay. No sooner than I posted the "Baby's First Sleet" entry, it began to snow. So, ladies and gentlemen, here now we have "Baby's First Snow".

Baby's First Sleet

This morning began with a slight drizzle that sent all of the Thornton Ave breakfast block party guests inside an open garage to enjoy their bagels and cocoa. Now, well into the afternoon, we've received our first official sleet of the season. (Ug. That means snow is just around the corner.) It's crisp and cold outside so we, of course, had to run our three-month-old out into the elements straightaway. Ta da! Baby's first sleet!

P.S. There are going to be a lot of stupid "firsts" on our blog from here on out. Just a word of warning.

Four eyes

David had a vision appointment today and picked up some new glasses. Of course, Amelia had to try them on first. (Man, this kid thing is just like have a dress-up doll. Some fun!)

Rollin in my 5.0

That's right, we're rolling Baby Bjorn-style! Getting Amelia in and out of it is a bit traumatic for all involved, but once in it, she loves the ride!

Rock the vote!

Today was the Salt Lake Mayoral Primary here and Amelia hit the polls in her most patriotic outfit. (A poll worker said, "She's the cutest thing I've seen - and I'm a REPUBLICAN!")
