It's a New Year!

First off... want to wish everyone a Happy 2009! Our family kicked off the new year in style... Daddy was loading music on his iPod, Mommy was watching Dick Clark count down and Amelia was sleeping soundly in her crib oblivious to the fireworks going off in the street.

New Year's Day we went down to Albany to celebrate Christmas. We had a lovely time as Uncle Chris made dinner for all of us. We filled our tummy with chicken fettucini and cesar salad. Then it was present time! Yea! Amelia got tons of presents... among them a cell phone, keys, talking book, laptop computer, sit/scoot & stand toy, a piano and a little person chair. Amelia had a great time with her loot. She had a great time playing with the ribbons from all the packages. In between all the present opening she even had time for a little cat nap. The pictures of the day's event are below.

On another note, Amelia went in for her eye appointment yesterday. Turns out she has pseudo amblyopia (lazy eye). Apparently, asian babies have thicker skin on the inside of their eye and it looks like the baby has lazy eye when they really don't. The doc said she doesn't have it, but wants to recheck it in 3-4 months... so we go back in on April 27.

And... tomorrow Amelia turns 7 months old! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. We're starting to prop her up on all fours, trying to get her to crawl. She's also moving her feet one in front of each other as we hold her up to stand. And, mommy is teaching Amelia how to drink from a cup. She really likes that.

Currently, Amelia is sleeping in her crib. She started conking out while sitting in her high chair eating bananas. (She started fruits on Monday.) That's good because last night she didn't want to sleep anywhere but in Mommy or Daddy's arms. At midnight, I passed her over to Daddy to take care of her because I was so tired and I had to get up at five. I was tired today. Thank goodness, I had a mocha (compliments of Jenny, Chris & Audry, as I got an espresso maker for Christmas from them!).

Other then that, not much else to report! Until next time... here's a video of Amelia!
