Swingin'

Amelia loves her swing! She goes back and forth between checking things out and napping.

18 Months!

Seriously? 18 months...as in a year and a half old? How did this happen?! And she still wants to eat her sign...

Back Together Again

Ainsley and Amelia are back together again after only seeing each other on a rare occasion since Ainsley was sick. Ainsley picked up right where she left off hugging and kissing on Amelia. I've been trying to get Ainsley to call Amelia something other than "baby." Amelia is a mouthful for an 18 month old afterall. Tonight she started calling Amelia "sissy." Not sure how long it will stick, but for now its sweet.

Crossing State Lines

Amelia went on her first trip to Louisiana this weekend to pick up her sister from Nana and Papaw's. She also met her Aunt Michelle and GiGi who you can see she was quite content with.

Sleeping Piggy

Amelia had her 2 week appointment yesterday. We had a little shock when we put her on the scale and saw the digital numbers bouncing around in the 8's and then settling on...8 lb 7.5 oz! That's 1 lb and 5.5 oz more than just 10 days before at her first appointment. Very different from her sister who put on weight so slowly the first 6 months or so that we had to take her in for weight checks to make sure she was gaining enough!

Busy Busy

Ainsley's been busy on the phone keeping up with her friends since she hasn't been to daycare in a few days and won't be back for another week. If I only could get her on video saying, "Hello." Her voice drops about 3 octaves when she says it.

Bright Lights

Amelia was not about to let her dad blind her for a photo op after the first try!

Sickie!

Ainsley has joined the world of breathing treatments like her friend Anna (hopefully only short term though). She has bronchiolitis. Luckily it is not a result of the flu or RSV, but we still have to keep Ainsley and Amelia separate because it could hospitalize Amelia if she were to get it. Ainsley's first two treatments were not pretty. Dustin and I both had to hold her down for the duration. Overnight it was a bit easier because she was so out of it. This morning we used a blanket to wrap her up and by this afternoon she was a little pro and sat in my lap the entire time with minimal whining. Hopefully she continues to tolerate it!

More Amelia and Ainsley

Here are some more pictures from the last several days. We came home Monday and Ainsley had a rough first night when she realized the baby was at home, but she is slowly adjusting to being a big sister and loves to rub Amelia's head.

Amelia decided to be punctual and make her grand entrance on her Valentine's Day due date. Dustin and I headed to the hospital Friday night close to midnight after my water broke. Thankfully my labor began early Saturday morning and I was able to avoid a repeat c-section. We are all doing well and hope to head home tomorrow morning.
