Six Month Photo Shoot and Weekend Recap

Amelia had her six month photo shoot this past weekend!  Jen came to our house on Saturday and took some AMAZING pictures!  She is so talented and wonderful to come when it's convenient for Amelia!  Here are some of my favorites.  There are a tons to choose from and they all are wonderful!  Thanks Jen!!!

This past week with Amelia first week to stay with Granny Karla on Fridays.  Every time I checked on her she was smiling and having a good time or sleeping in the chair with Kate!!  Granny and Kate took turns with Amelia and from the sounds of it they spent a lot of time outside (my girl loves being outside)! 
During the summer Amelia will be staying with Grandma Lois on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with Mommy on Thursday and Granny Karla on Friday!  We're so blessed to have family that are willing and able to watch her until she gets a little bit older (or until Mommy is OK with her going to a babysitter).
Saturday morning before her pictures we introduced Amelia to pears and boy did she love them!  I wanted to make sure she was eating veggies really well before introducing fruits because I've heard that after they start fruit that's all they want! She has now had sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, green beans, pears, apples and bananas.  She doesn't seem to like bananas all that much, but we'll keep trying.  Saturday after the photo shoot we went to the cemetery because it was also memorial day weekend.  After visiting the cemetery we made a quick trip the hospital to visit Ms. Annabel Eddings.  She is just beautiful.  Holding her was so surreal, she was only an ounce bigger and an inch longer than Amelia when she was born, but she seemed so TINY!  Also as of Saturday Amelia is officially a bottle baby. :(  After much stress and deliberation I bit the bullet and completely weaned her.  We have been working on this for awhile, and she has absolutely no problems taking a bottle, it was just Mom being ready to let go.  I'm happy to report that she's doing just fine, and Mommy is coping!! 
We finished the weekend out with church and some household chores and dinner at Mom's house.
Monday was a holiday and we were closed at work, so we took advantage of the extra day off and did some shopping in Branson for Amelia some 6-9 month clothes!  She's about to move up a size and was seriously lacking clothes in that size range. 
Amelia's newest development is that she's about to master sitting up on her own.  She's doing so well, but still a little wobbly!  Crawling will be soon!!  YIKES!
Hope everyone has a great week, what's rest of it that is, and a wonderful weekend.
