An Overdue Update

Quick post while my little kraken sleeps! I have a couple of pictures that I've wanted to share, but didn't want to become a baby oversharer on Facebook.

Can I just say how excited I am that Amelia is going to have a cousin the same age as her? Can't wait to meet Sandy! Ernesto's sister, Haiquis, is also pregnant and is due this April. Ernesto's sister-in-law gave birth to another daughter (Juana Maria) about a month after Amelia was born, so she's going to have a nice little cousin cohort.

First off, it is some yellow outside my house. If the sun were shining, the yellow would be even crazier.


Her first time taking naps in her own crib! It's going really well, and I'm excited that we're starting down the road of transitioning her into her nursery. Now, if she would wake up less than three or four times a night, I would make the shift to sleeping there during the night....

She woke up very happy! (Definitely did not happen this way subsequent times.)


She really loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar you gave her, Ben and Jaime! It's delicious. We have about five books, and we read through them all twice a day. 
Climbing the stairs on her way to bed.


Fun with tummy time. She can roll from front to back, though not consistently, and now she's enjoying attempting to roll from back to front. Sometimes she just prefers to lie there with her fingers in her mouth, though. I can't wait until you guys get to meet her. She doesn't like when I have the camera out, and so all of her adorable faces disappear as soon as I grab it, so I don't have any pictures of her being her expressive self.
