Amelie needs a nap.

This morning we went to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children with Amelie and a bunch of our family. It was fun, Amelie was pretty happy most of the time. We all went to lunch afterwards and Ami missed her morning nap. She slept for 3 hours when we got home (actually, we all did). We did some Christmas shopping this evening and came home and put Amelie to sleep. She was still awake and didn't fall asleep until 11:13pm. Lesson learned. Don't skip her naps. You'll pay for it later.

None of us slept very well last night either. While I was at work she bumped her head. Her doctor recommended that we all sleep in the same room, and that we wake her up every few hours to check on her. The last time she was awake, she stayed that way for a couple of hours. She was also flailing around and I'm pretty sure slapping my face on purpose. She always grabs onto those little hairs at the sides of my forehead and pulls too. She's like, "wake up, let's play," even though it's 4 am. I cried when I got home and saw the bump. It looked a lot better today.



Abby and I dressed her up in Sammy's Santa outfit on Friday.



She can stand on her own. Also, yesterday she waved for the first time. She did it with her hand closed so it was more like she was shaking her fist at Abby and I, but she was making the motion.



I went to lunch on Wednesday and Thursday with friends from high school. I got a picture of her with my friend Stacie. She loved entertaining all the tables around us at both restaurants.


My lil sis and her boyfriend, Tovandy, are coming home from a far off land called Illinois for Christmas. Abby and I are going over to my moms to bake more cookies too.

Ty and I are trying to make some decisions about our wedding. It's really stressful and I don't want to do it. I guess thats why we have been engaged for a year already and haven't set a date in stone yet. Eloping is really starting to look good.
