Amelia Lately

It's funny to see the name Amelia there since we rarely call her that. It's so pretty written out though! Anyway... Lia is growing like crazy. Although, I think at this point she's evened out pretty well. She's not so chunky anymore (sad!) or lazy (sadder!).



She's given up baby food altogether. Won't touch it. She has to eat exactly what we're eating or she gets really really mad -- yells even! The minute she hears anything that sounds like a wrapper she comes as fast as she can and begs for food. We all share of course, and it's pretty cute watching her get so excited about food (I can definitely relate to that). She loves meat. Beef. Anything beefy. She loves rice and macaronis and fruit. The kid will try anything. She's not too fond of lunch meat. She's obsessed with drinking. She loves water and juice (the only two things she can really drink) but she'll sit there and drink an entire sippy cup full of it. She learned to use a sippy cup a lot faster than Max. I don't know if she's always thirsty or if she just likes to drink.







At her 9 month check up she was 23 pounds (Max at his 3 year appointment on the same day was 28 pounds). She's a crazy little girl, full of life and always happy -- unless you do something to make her mad, then she yells at you, loud. She rarely cries, but she sure does know how to shriek and scream.





Now that she's almost 11 months old, her personality is coming out even more! She's a little pistol! She's funny, too. She likes to be a clown, laughing and hugging and crawling around. She loves her bath, doesn't care about getting water poured onto her head, hates getting dressed, loves her bed, loves being outside, LOVES snacks, hates being ignored. She's a wild little sweetie!
