Valentine's Day Weekend...

We had a fun, relaxing, Valentine's weekend.



Amelia received a new Valentine Fancy Nancy book. I definitely see a Fancy Nancy party in Amelia's future...such cute books!



Amelia also received some wonderful things from her Aunt Joy! She looked so cute in the little onesie and striped baby legs. We love you, Aunt Joy!!



Amelia and I gave Daddy this picture in a silver frame. The frame was engraved with "Remember This Moment" at the bottom. He loved it. He decided to take it to work for his desk. I'm sure we'll be changing out the pic in that frame often...lots of moments with his girl that he won't want to forget! :)



My Valentine surprised me with this! Okay, can I just say that I'm not a cheap person. I spend money on things. But a phone is something that I don't like to spend a lot of $ on. (A pair of shoes - that's another story) Any phone that I've owned (that is really nice) - Alex has bought for me. I'm excited to learn how to use it! He also surprised me with Amelia's birth story...this was the most special present of all. He wrote it for Amelia and as I read it, tears just started streaming down my face. I don't remember a whole lot from those first couple of days in the hospital, so to go back and read his feelings through it all was very emotional for me. I will probably post it sometime this week. Such a special gift.



We spent a lot of of the weekend at home. Look at her holding that head up like a big girl. :)


Do you see my daughter's bald spot on the back of her head? (LOL) When does their hair start really growing??



We pretty much ate our way through the weekend. Friday night, we went to Kobe and enjoyed my favorite meal. Filet, fried rice & veggies!!

Saturday night, Alex picked up take-out from Olive Garden. I get the same thing every time. Angel hair pasta w/marinara. Boring. Yet so yummy!



Amelia always gets the same thing too.



We went to Panera on Sunday night. They have a caesar salad that Alex loves and a veggie soup that I can scarf down within seconds. You should see me.

It's attractive.

I hope you had a lovely weekend. I'll be posting my February giveaway tomorrow, incase you want to come back and check it out!

Love to all,

Amelia would like to say...

Happy Valentine's Day!!



Love to all,

No Barry White...

We spent a couple of days at Amelia's Great-Grandma's house while my Papa was in the hospital. My Mom and Joy decided to give Amelia her first bath in the sink while we were there. Amelia is almost 4 months old and I still sponge bathe her like when we first brought her home! (LOL) This was a new experience for her. :)

She was pretty excited about it...


What on earth is going on!??


Ah, I like this...lounging in my hot tub.


Thanks Grinny & Aunt Joy...tell Mommy to start doing this at home!!


We spent most of our time at the hospital and since Amelia couldn't go back to CCU, someone had to be with her in the waiting room.


There wasn't a lack of volunteers. :) Amelia did so well the entire time. I feel very blessed to have a laid back, go-with-the-flow baby!


She was sad to leave her Grinny.

Actually, her Grinny was talking to her in a really low voice and this was Amelia's reaction. (LOL)

Needless to say, we won't be playing any Barry White around here, anytime soon! HA!

Speaking of Barry White...Valentine's Day is this weekend!! Alex and I had talked about going to dinner tomorrow night and getting a sitter, but between my Papa's funeral and this crazy Arkansas weather - Valentine's Day snuck up on us! I have a feeling it will be a laid back day. Just the three of us. :) Do you have any big plans??

Love to all,

We ♥ Kisses...

Amelia was only one week old in this picture. Boy does time fly.
