Amelia is growing up so fast. It's so amazing to see how much she changes week to week. I've heard that the time between months 4 and 6 are the most filled with change, and I believe it.
This past week started out the same old way with days at Sue's and nights with mom and dad. On Friday, Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Larry came over to see Amelia, and give mom and dad some time off. They watched her from the afternoon until her bedtime, while we attended the inauguration festivities at the University (new president).
On Saturday morning, we all went downtown to the farmer's market together. Then, Amelia stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa again, while Chris and I went to the OSU football game. She seemed to really enjoy having them around, and they seemed to just totally eat up every little thing she did. She even showed them her adorable little laugh once. :) It was nice having my parents over for a little more than a day, their first overnight together at our house.
On Sunday, we went to church down in Columbus and then to the Italian Festival. We ended the day at a get-together with some friends. Amelia took an uncharacteristically long nap in the afternoon, allowing us to go to the dinner without her getting too upset being out a bit past her bedtime.
Today (Monday), I had the day off for Columbus Day. Amelia and I had a nice ladies day out! We went to lunch with my friend Erin, and her little 8 week old, Arden. Arden was a dull lunch date, she slept the whole time! :) Then, Amelia and I did a little shopping, before heading home to wait for daddy to get off work. She must have had an active day... it was a stressful time keeping her up to her normal bedtime tonight!

One more thing.... Gramma D got one of her birthday presents (belatedly) this week -- we gave in to her begging and got a webcam! :) She's been watching Amelia eat (and spit out and eat again) green beans and such. So after Gramma D gets bored, perhaps someone else would like a few minutes of Amelia time?
