Amelia's first Christmas

For Christmas this year we opened presents at home on the 19th before heading to Houston for the days leading up the 25th and to Amarillo for Christmas itself. It was a wonderful week, although Millie ended up with an ear infection on Christmas Eve, which was pretty miserable. After a trip to an urgent care clinic and a shot of antibiotic, she was back on track. Here are some pictures and videos from the week.

Ice, Ice, Baby

At the beginning of December mam and pops came up for the weekend and we went to the Gaylord Texan to see their Ice exhibit. It was awesome! Here we are all bundled up seeing as it was only 9 degrees in there!

Crawling!!

Her technique is still questionable, but she's getting better at it every day! Here's a video of her movin' and a groovin' a couple of weeks ago.

Say "peas"!

I haven't posted a picture in awhile and took this adorable classic the other night while Millie was enjoying her dinner of peas and tiny banana chunks, so I thought I'd share it! She's such a happy baby!

Halloween 2009

Millie's first Halloween!! And boy was it a great one. Pops and "Nona" (we're trying that one out for now) were here to help her celebrate. We went to an over-the-top Halloween party at Pop's friend's, Jerry's. Jerry had just purchased a $1.2M home for the land that it sits on and has plans to tear the old house down to replace it with a new one. Anyway, he'd decorated this place to the nines for Halloween, complete with bouncehouses, magicians, and enough cool candy to fill up an entire room. I'm pretty sure all of Millie's Halloween from here on out would pale in comparison if only she could remember this one! Here are a few pictures from the night:

A Look Back

My how much changes in a short 7 months!

Sharp Family Reunion

This past weekend we went to Amarillo for a Sharp family get together. It was so nice to see everyone and spend time with Ty's entire family. It was a fun weekend for Millie too! Everybody just loved her and thought she was such a doll, which in my unbiased opinion, she totally is! Her Aunt Scarlette did a hilarious Rock Star routine with her and Grandpa Bill took her and me for a tractor ride. She was definitely the life of the party!!

She was such a sweetheart all weekend and such a great baby! She just goes with the flow! She was such a different baby than the Millie I took to Amarillo 3 months ago!
