Newborn to infant

Now that Amelia is 12 weeks, she is no longer a newborn; she has graduated to infant status.  My baby is growing so fast.  According to our scale, she now weighs 11.2 pounds.  She has doubled in size since she was born!

She is now smiling more than ever!  It seems like everything makes her smile and she is such a happy baby.  She coos and we have little conversations with her.  We always wonder what she is trying to tell us.  She also laughs out loud and squeals, which is hilarious.  We've been trying to record her smiles, cooing, squeals, and laughter, but as soon as we get the camera she stops!  It's very frustrating, ha ha ha. 

Amelia's new piano which she loves to kick, kick, kick!  She smiles and laughs when she hears the music play.


Amelia has discovered her hands, which she stares at intently.  She examines them and moves them around.  It's really cute because she always has a serious face when she does so.  She also sucks on her fingers and her fist, which is nice because she is learning to self soothe herself.

Since she was about a month old, she started sleeping about 4-5 hours at night.  Now, she sleeps about 5-6+ hours at night, so I usually only have to get up with her once for a feeding and diaper change.  We cannot wait until she sleeps through the night!

Amelia's new thing is falling asleep while she's playing.  It's super cute!


Amelia is now big enough to fit into her cloth diapers, so Jimmy and I are very excited.  Her cloth diapers are so cute!  It's especially cute because the cloth diapers are much thicker than disposables, so they make Amelia look pear shaped... it looks like she has a huge ba-donk-ka-donk.

Does this cloth diaper make my butt look big?
Check out the junk in the trunk!

Jimmy and I bring her everywhere with us when we can.  She's definitely a travelling baby!  She goes out with us to run errands, shopping, out to eat, and we even take her out when we go out with friends.  I take her out for walks almost everyday too.

All bundled up and ready for a walk
