Friday: 9/25
Amelia is getting to be more stable all the time with her sitting. I consider her officially sitting up now with rare moments of toppling when she is very distracted. It is so fun to have a baby that sits up (not spits up)!

Amelia sitting Pretty - this is my new favorite color on her: navy blue
Sitting pretty and talking to Mama
Drinking milk from a cup - what a big boy!
The shirt William picked out today.
Friday nights we've been trying to have Family Nights. We try to pick something active (ie: not watching TV) the kids will like and have fun spending time together. We're hoping we continue spending time together as the years go on doing fun family activities. So far we've spent time at parks, played games, and gone to the pool. This Friday we decided would be Amelia's first swim at the pool (and also Mama's first swim at the pool after Amelia's pregnancy - EeEK!).
Amelia before getting in the water - so cute!
We don't have any pictures of her swimming because at this point, both of us have to be in the water with both kids for safety reasons. Camera +water= bad news. So, we don't have any pictures with all of us in the water. This seems like the best place to tell you that she wasn't thrilled. Amelia was pretty overwhelmed by all the different things going on. The music, the water, the kids, the splashing, the temperature, etc. She is usually very outgoing and wiggly. She like to charm people and see what is going on. She spent most of her time in the pool turned into our bodies and hanging on tightly. No sign of my spitfire girl. She smiled when we sang and dipped her in and out of the water, but as soon as the song was over, the smile was gone too. So, I think we'll wait awhile before we try this one again with her.
Mama is making me kick!
This time we opted to check out a life vest from the pool. I wanted to see if William would "swim" a little on his own if he had a little support. Currently when we swim, William spends most of his time hanging on to our necks and not attempting to propel himself through the water at all. I was looking for a little....motivation.
