More Amelia Thoughts

Wow, this girl has a personality!!

Amelia is a chatty girl now. I seriously believe that she thinks that she's talking in real words. She will make all sorts of chatty, babbling noises, all the while looking at me like we're having a conversation. :)

In the mornings, often I will hear her chatting with herself in the crib before she cries to get up.

Chris and I are both introverts. Very much so. Amelia, however, is an extrovert. She can be fussy all morning at the house, but as soon as we get into a crowd of people, she's all smiley, happy and outgoing. She will start chatting and smiling at people, coyly rubbing her face in our shoulder, and then looking back at them cutely. She knows how to charm a person.

Amelia loves attention and gets annoyed when she loses it. She also hates to be talked about in a negative light (you think I am joking, but it is true!).

Amelia loves a church with a good band. She enjoys the beginning praise music and then after the pastor begins, she starts to get fussy and ends up taking a nap. She is doing a great job at helping us with our church search. :)

Lately, she is having sleeping issues AGAIN. She wakes frequently at night, but thankfully eats and goes back to sleep. But what is worse is that she is not napping. She will be SO exhausted and I will jump through hoops to get her to go down, and 30 minutes later, she's up and ready to go. 30 minutes does not cut it. Eventually, she gets cranky and becomes very difficult to please. Pray for us during this time -- it should pass soon! We need her to sleep more and be a bit more content with boring ole Mom and Dad. :)

Time on her play mat has gotten so much more interesting for her. She rolls back and forth, hitting and kicking the things hanging down. But then she rolls over and cries until we rescue her. We really need to work on that! But I guess once she is okay on her tummy for longer periods of time, crawling comes soon after, so maybe we should leave it alone for a bit!
