The Richardson Family: Amelia

Of course I did the bear in the chair pictures for Amelia, but have only been posting them to facebook (and of course her shutterfly page), so I thought I would just do 3 of each of her first 3 months. Since I didnt blog I probably dont remember exactly what happened each month, but I'll try my best.

Month One (taken on 4/13/13)

well she didnt go to the doctor at this date, but went at 2 weeks when she was almost back to her birth weight (so a tad under 9lbs) and had not grown any taller
she didnt do much at this age, was kinda a potato (as her dad calls her)
she liked baths, sleeping, eating, and pooping
she was very very good at eating and pooping, by far her 2 most favorite things in life
not a fan of tummy time
when she had her hair washed it got super poufy (as you can see from the pics), I loved it!!!

Month Two (taken on 5/13/13)

this time she went to the doctor, woo hoo!!
she was 11 lbs and 9 oz (56%), 22.75 inches (62%) and her head was 36 (3%), yes, she has a tiny head :)
she still didnt do much at this age, but was looking around a bit more, started to babble (big fan of the O sound), loves to kick her feet and throw her arms around
she liked baths (just not hair washing anymore), sleeping, eating, and pooping
her pooping skills went down a bit (still knew how and mastered the blow out, but the frequency went down, I was ok with that)
her sleeping skills just kept improving, will take 2 to 4 hour naps in her swing (we both love that swing) and was sleeping around 7 to 8 hours at night
loved to eat, wanted to eat every 2 hours, not my favorite part about her, but I am getting a lot of reading done ;)
still not a fan of tummy time
starting losing some hair, plus it was thinning out and getting lighter, but still has hair that still gets poufy after a bath
oh, and starting smiling, isnt she freakin adorable when she smiles!!!!

Month Three (taken on 6/13/13)

once again, no doctor visit, but she is growing, getting a tiny bit chubby, but not her head, its still small :)
talking a bit more, starting to laugh a little, loves to watch her brother (not sure if its because she likes him or she has already figured out she needs to know where he is for her own safety)
LOVES to sit up, little girl never wants to lean back or lay down, she is gonna have some super duper strong stomach and back muscles from constantly trying to pull herself up
on that same subject, loves the bumbo, will just sit in it and watch the world go on around her
started playing in the exercauser, is a big fan so far, but only for about 5 to 10 minutes at a time
she likes baths (still not the hair washing), sleeping, eating, and pooping (but its going down the list of her likes right now)
her sleeping skills just kept improving, will take 2 to 4 hour naps in her swing (we both love that swing) and was sleeping around 8 to 9 hours at night
still loves to eat, would eat all day long if you let her, still not my favorite part about her, but I am getting a lot of reading done ;)
has discovered her feet and her hands, loves those hands, she can fit both fists in her mouth, I am inclined to think she will get teeth early (like logan who had one already by 4 months old)
started getting supplemental bottles of lisa's breast milk (or an auntie lisa milk shake as I like to call it), Im not making enough and Lisa is making a billion ounces a day, so she is nice and gives some to Amelia. right now she is getting about 6 extra ounces a day from that. but still wants to eat all the time.
still not a fan of tummy time
still losing some hair, still thinning out and getting lighter, but still has hair that still gets poufy after a bath. by this point logan was almost bald so Im happy with her current hair status. however I think we will need to cut it soon, she has a crazy spot on the top/back of her head that sticks straight up and her bangs are getting close to her eyebrows!!!
