Too big for the Sink...

Amelia has gotten too big for the sink! 
(meaning her kicking the water is getting too powerful and we were getting soaking wet)
We now have to bathe her in the tub.. Which is a lot more challenging. 

Last  time in the sink!
First time in the bath tub.
"What's going on here?!"

St. George Brown Family Reunion

I attended my 3rd Brown family reunion in July. 
We went to St. George and stayed in Anthony's parents' condo. 
It was a great vacation. 
Anthony and I went 5 days earlier than the rest of the family. 
It was our last time there for a long time, so we had to enjoy it as long as possible!

We went swimming, had water balloon fights, went hiking, and played the infamous candy game!
Blowout on the ride down...
No wonder she was fussy the last 45 minutes...


When we would go down the stairs, she would start pushing REALLY  hard. and stop breathing..
SCARY.

3 Months!

This is a little late! I am glad I keep a record in my phone about the new things that happen each month or I wouldn't be able to write this. The months are just blending into each other!

Amelia is now 3 months old! Holy cow. 



Stats:
Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz... 69%
Height: 24.5 in... 98%

Such a tall girl

My Millie Mays..
There are very few things that are actually newborn about you anymore. You laugh, smile, actually stay awake, have a schedule... you're like a little human now! My cute little human.You have gone a long trip, had a family reunion, and so much more!

Here are some things I LOOOOVE my 3 month old (and some general information):
-You have started to giggle. SOO cute. Not quite a laugh, but it is adorable!
-We went to Riley's wedding and people were just gawking of over you. It was ADORABLE. You were held by a lot of strangers, and Daddy was finally content with it.
- I already think you are a baby genius. It is my job, right? 
-You will stay up at night in your bassinet just talking away. It is something you have learned lately. I love it.
-You had your first ear infection... If that was really what it was. You were pulling at your ear, so I took you to the after hours clinic and saw a PA. You got an antibiotic. We went to St. George, and it wasn't helping. We went to the ER (because that it the only place that would take our insurance) and got an other antibiotic from another PA. When we got home, it still wasn't working so we went to our pediatrician and got to see the actual doctor! He said you probably never had an ear infection and just had a bunch of fluid in the ear that needed to drain and to just have you propped up a lot.
-You went on your first long trip to our Brown family reunion! You were fine in the car until you had a blowout and had a major melt down. 
- You went in the swimming pool for the first time!  You were unsure of it, but came to love it.
-You smile SO big now! I absolutely love making you smile. You are gorgeous.
-You have learned to entertain yourself a little bit. You are content with laying down and just looking around for a good 20 minutes.
-You are in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. SLOW DOWN. 
-You may be getting the new title of "Queen of the Farts." You toot so loudly, haha.
-You have been taking a lot of bottles because it hurts you to lay down an nurse because your acid will come up. I pump and then feed you. It takes about an hour to complete the whole process. 
-You go to bed around 10:30 (still trying to get it earlier), will wake up around 4,5, or 6 to eat and then sleep until around 9:30-10:30. LOVE IT.


I think that you are absolutely perfect. I can't imagine not having you in my life. I was sooo scared at first. I now know that you are here because I need you. You are my everything. I don't think I have every received such an amazing blessing from above; you are IT.

I love you,
Mom




Growing so fast! I love her so much.
