Happy Halloween!!!

Today was a very busy day for us. Amaya and I went out to lunch with our cousin Sarah, we visited Grandpa and Grandma Freed, and went to see Daddy at work! I could tell that we did a little too much today when she fell asleep in Daddy's arms when we visited him. Amaya dressed up as a pink teddy bear. Some people thought that she was a rabbit or a pig! Someone even asked if she was a boy or a girl. Seriously!

Jeremiah and I stayed home tonight a passed out candy to trick or treaters. We never have a ton of kids come to our house and so we have a lot of leftover candy! This is not a good thing for me, I just had three fillings put in last week. Jeremiah will have to finish it off for me;).

5 Months old!

Wow! Time has flown by so fast. Today Amaya is 5 months old. She has recently started grabbing/eating her feet and is very vocal now. She loves the sound of her voice! I am amazed at how much she has changed in the past few weeks, it's like I have a different baby. She is pretty content now and less fussy. She is also sleeping through the night again! YEAH!

Tomorrow is Halloween and I will be posting pics of her in her teddy bear costume!

Old Baby Pictures

I thought that you all might get a kick out of seeing pics of Amaya and I when we were about the same age. I can now see some similarities between us. I thought that she only looked like Jeremiah before. Amaya's head is definitely smaller than mine and not as chunky! It was fun comparing the pictures.

Today Amaya had her 4 month photo shoot. We think it went pretty well and are excited to see how they turn out. Here are a some of the photos I took of her afterward.

I am sleepy!

I am so tired! For the past week or so Amaya has been waking up several times in the middle of the night. We think it is because she is teething and going through a growth spurt. It has been frustrating, especially since everytime she wakes up she automatically wants to eat. She was sleeping 10-11 hours at a time before. I am hoping that she goes back to her regular sleeping pattern soon. I need my sleep!

Here is a video of Amaya playing!

Blog Comments

I am now allowing comments on my blog from anyone.

Amaya and I are heading out to "Mom's and Munchkins" at church and then maybe lunch with Aunt Bre.

Sweet Potatoes are scary!

Amaya has been blowing raspberries and making some new noises lately. I caught this on video tonight when she was trying her sweet potatoes. She didn't really know what to think about them...most of the potatoes ended up on her face and bib.Thanks for the cute ghost hat Aunt Krista and Uncle Jerome!

Bath Time Fun!

Here are some fun bath time photos of Amaya. I can't believe how smiley she was! She loves bath time.

4 month Check-up

Yesterday was Amaya's 4 month check-up. The doctor said that she is doing great and growing well. He also said that Amaya is TEETHING! That explains all of the whining she's been doing lately.

She is now 11lbs. 8.5oz (10th %)

24 1/2 in (50th %)

The doctor told us to start solid foods! Amaya is now eating cereal and will start veggies in a couple of weeks. We have also started supplementing with formula. I am very excited about that! Thanks for checking in!

Rolling over

Amaya has been rolling over on her own for a while now. I was surprised that I actually got it on tape since she doesn't do it very often. On a side note....I did not dress her:0)! I left Amaya with Jeremiah while I went to Vocal team practice. I knew he wanted a boy but I didn't think he'd go that far! (just kidding) He loves his little girl!

Blessings

Today I am 27 years old! This is the best time in my life. I have a wonderful, devoted husband who I am even more in love with than ever before, and I have a beautiful baby girl. I am a wife and a mom! I couldn't be any happier with how things have turned out. These past 4 months have had their challenges but it has all been worth it. I thank God for all the blessings in my life.

Amaya

I thought you all might enjoy this little video!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we packed a lunch and headed to the KC pumpkin patch. Grandma Freed was taking her 2nd grade class and we decided it would be a fun outing. Grandma loved having Amaya along. The kids love to see her too.

Amaya enjoyed being outdoors and was fascinated by the petting zoo! All in all it was a good trip. Amaya slept the whole way home:)
