Four months is soooo much better than three!

WEEK 17: More visitors! More smiles! More action! Leslie came to Cali and Amelia showed off her brilliant, toothless smile (though rarely on camera!)

Leslie and Amelia share the delicious quiche at Le Pain Qouditen
(don't worry, I can't pronounce it either!)

Leslie and Amelia and I met Mindi for coffee in downtown SM.
It was farmers market day and we got some veggies to grill for dinner.

We found out at the doctor's office last week that Amelia is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight! As of last Monday (on her 4 month birthday!) she was 15lbs. 6oz. and 25 1/4in tall!!

It's been another long few weeks and I'm finding it much more difficult now than ever to get anything done! Amelia is definitely more active and seems to sleep less and less! I know it's not good for babies (or mommies either!) so I'm hoping it's just a phase. Haha.

Amelia, though, has started to really use her hands much more, and not just for putting in her mouth. She will pick up something and look at it before it goes to her mouth. Or hold on to a toy on her bouncy chair and inspect if for a few seconds. She's so curious about everything! Yesterday she was spinning the toy on her carseat. It was so great to watch! Today she started to investigate her feet. So cool (wish I was that flexible...)

We had such a great time with Leslie. Her son, Garret kissed the bunny
before entrusting Amelia with it. It's so soft and cozy.
We still need to give it a name. Any suggestions?

We loved spending time with Leslie. It's good to have someone in the know around! We went to the farmer's market, walked around downtown Santa Monica, got massages and visited Eric at his office before Leslie took the train to San Diego. We hope she had a nice stay and will come back again to visit!

Amelia is just chilling on the couch/the guest bed early Thursday morning.

Checking out the action at Starbucks.

On the playmat for some tummy time. She doesn't mind it anymore and will occasionally even smile!
