Shmoopie is 16 weeks old!

16 weeks have passed since Amelia came into our lives! She is such a joy!!! I feel so lucky to be her mommy. She is usually really happy--she loves looking in the mirror and looking at lights. She got lots of new toys for Christmas that she loves as well. She still hates getting her diapers changed though, that is a daily battle!
Amelia celebrated her first Christmas this week. It was so fun, even though she had no idea what was going on. She met her Great-Aunt Melanie for the first time and had lots of presents to open.
After awhile it got to be too much for her, she fussed a bit (a LOT) and finally went to sleep. I think she was over stimulated from being passed around from person to person. Not to mention it was getting late. We got to see Natalie and Lochlan as well which is always fun. It is still weird to me to think of my brother and I both having kids now.....I hope our kids stay close! And Christmas isn't over yet, we will have Nathans family here for a late Christmas at the end of the week...hopefully we can have the house clean by then--yikes!
Natalie loved her dress up clothes....she was so funny.

Daddy and baby!
