Amelia still has the sniffles, and I can't decide if I'm sick or not! Amelia has also decided that she does not need as much sleep anymore. She still goes to bed around 7:15pm and rather than sleeping until around 7am, she's been waking between 5:30-6:30. Daylight savings time is coming up, so I guess if we hold out until then, it will all get adjusted in our favor. We spring forward, so she won't be sleepy until later and in theory would sleep later.
And Wednesday afternoon, instead of napping for the Sitter, she screamed so long that Chris had to go get her. Josie said that she's never called a parent for anything other than illness before, so I'm nervous that if she doesn't stop doing this (had 1 other scream-fest last week), we might lose another sitter....
Amelia has been trying a lot of things lately. Today she had grapefruit for the first time and really seemed to like it. She's also really into eating hummus - she likes to eat it smeared on a whole wheat goldfish cracker. She also tried couscous this weekend, too. I don't think she knows what to think of it though! Try #2 on pasta had a much better result than #1.
We've been asked by a couple people why she's not drinking juice yet.... our answer is - why? She LOVES drinking water in her sippy cup, so there doesn't seem to be any reason why we could introduce juice at this time, since she's getting fruits from other sources. No reason to make her want anything else more than water, right?
And she's pulling herself up more and more. Her little feet seem to be getting more stable. Eek!
And she now has SEVEN teeth! She has the 4 across the top (the one on the right is about halfway down), the 2 in the center on the bottom, and 1 to the right of center on the bottom just popped through over the weekend. She's so cute with the 4 teeth at the top especially. But I have to say as a mom that is still doing some of the feedings myself... those teeth are making me wary!

I can't wait to see her pull up!!! She's getting so big so fast. She's turning into a little good--make that girl - Julie called herself a "little good." Love Grandma in OH
juice? not if she's drinking lots of water, no. it's so hard to find a juice that just isn't full of crap, anyhow. the fresh fruits are just plain better:) you guys are such good food peeps with her.
and the couscous? try cooking it in a vegetable broth instead of just water (since she can't have chicken broth, becuase that works too)
