1. Her first hair cut :) Amelia was born with loads of hair!!! Who knew we would get a baby with all this hair? Jace and I were practically bald haha so we were shocked when Amelia came out. (P.S. I had no heart burn during my pregnancy, but everyone kept saying if you have a lot of heart burn that means lots of hair. I had no heart burn so I thought she would be bald.) I spent hours making all kinds of head bands and bows before she was born getting ready to decorate the baldness. Well I must say that she never wears any of the little head band flowers I made her haha her hair is just too cute that she doesn't need them! So her hair started getting a little out of hand this month. She has thinner hair in the back where her head rubs when she sleeps, but on the bottom it is still thick so it looked like she had a major mullet. Hair was hanging past her ears so we felt it was time to cut it. My friend does hair and so she trimmed it up for us :)
She did so good during her hair cut! She just sat in her little bumbo and chewed on the rattle. I was shocked.
Ta-da!!
The bottom of her hair was seriously down past her neck haha this looks much better :)
2. Her first snowfall :) We woke up one morning last week and snow was just falling from the sky and all over the ground. Well Amelia has never seen snow before, so this was fun to introduce her to it. It was pretty early in the morning and we were still in our pajamas, so we didn't actually go play in in or anything, but at least we showed it to her!
In this picture please just ignore me (scary larry haha), but she seems to like the snow!
3. Her first Jazz game :) Ok, ok so I gave in. We were invited to a Jazz game by Ernst and Young (a company that is recruiting Jace to come work for them). I thought for sure we wouldn't be able to go because we have little Amelia and I didn't want to get a baby sitter for her again because she had just gotten baby sat the week before. It is still a little hard for me to leave her for very long. The recruiter said it the game would be in a suite though and there would be tables, chairs, food, and a back room to feed Amelia in. We decided to take her and just leave at half time, so we could get her to bed. It worked out pretty well! It was a lot louder than I had expected which scared her at first, but she got used to it pretty quick. She was so alert the whole time and loved looking at all the new sites and sounds. Mike (Jace's best friend) and Kim were there because Kim works for Ernst and Young. It was so fun to see them there!
4. Her first Halloween :) We just had such a fun Halloween this year. We found a great deal on a costume at Children's Place for Amelia... a little sunflower! Since Jace and I are trying to be festive now we decided to dress up like farmers to kinda go along with the theme haha. We searched for overalls at the D.I. last weekend, but couldn't find any. Just FYI, the D.I. is packed the weekend before Halloween... holy cow we couldn't even find a parking spot haha everyone had the same idea as us. Our good friends Kara and Jeff invited us over for a little Halloween get together on Halloween night. She made amazing taco soup. We took pics, ate dinner, and chatted! We were gonna play games, but the babies were ready for sleep. It was such a fun night!
As you can tell she hated the costume pretty bad, so it only lasted about 10 minutes... long enough for pictures haha.
There's my cute little farmer :)... one handsome dude!
Cute Kara, Jeff, and Miri
