Amelia is 4 weeks old! And her blanket embroidered by a member of our congregation with her name, birthdate and birth sizes.

A close up - still grumbling about the lack of light during William's nap time.
Pretty girl in white in the light
How sweet is she?
Very sweet, I t
But, she'll punch you if you aren't nice to her
Eyes shut, but a little smile for you all!_________________________________________________________________
On April 30th, Amelia was 1 month old. Yay Amelia! Although it make Mama a little sad!
Of course we had to have a little photo shoot for the mama
Smiling girl - she is so smiley. Even at 10pm at night!
A little giggle...
Crazy lady hair
A more serious picture
It's too dark, but it is a precious smile
Kicking away
Smiling again!
I just love this smile!

On May 1st, Amelia had her well baby 1 month check up. We were nervous about this appointment largely because of the weigh in. We both felt like Amelia had been making some huge gains with her weight and eating - but would it be enough?
Yes it was! Amelia was:
Yes it was! Amelia was:
Weight: 10lbs 3.25 oz (1 week before she was 9 lbs 2.8oz)*
Length: 23 inches (a gain of 2 inches in a month!)*
Head circumference: 39.5cm (a gain of 2 cm in a month)
Length: 23 inches (a gain of 2 inches in a month!)*
Head circumference: 39.5cm (a gain of 2 cm in a month)
So, the verdict is she is making huge gains in growth! Yay - I can't believe she gained over a pound in one week! Now I am not worrying about the timing of her feedings and best of all am not waking her to eat at night! Yay sleep! All her other milestones are on track and we will go back in another month.
*For those who are interested, Amelia is in the top 95% for height and in the 75% for weight (correct me if I am wrong Mr Heidt).

On May 2, I took Amelia to a real photographer to get some one month pictures taken. Although we've taken a lot of pictures of Amelia, we don't have nearly the number of pictures of her as we do of William. Plus, she is so pretty - I just had to get her pictures taken. Unfortunatetly, it was king of a pain to try and rotate the pictures, so you'll just have to turn your heads. Because I am lazy tonight. Sorry.

She is so sweet! Doesn't a month go by so quickly?!?!?! That William looks like he is such a good big brother!
The quilt you made is amazing! I wish I could quilt... I do too many things to add quilting to my list ;)
Aw, yay for sweet baby girls! Time is just flying, isn't it?
Also, yay for the sweet big brothers who love their little sisters. Even if it makes things a little tougher to accomplish sometimes. I think you're managing to get more pictures than I am. How DO you do it?
