blog tagged

i was blog tagged by my friend steph. sorry, i'm not going to tag 4 people, because i don't have 4 people to tag that haven't already been tagged, and then they would just have to show the same photo anyway :) so, this is a picture of amelia just hanging out at home. sometimes at night i just get out the camera and start taking pictures of her for no reason, other than i think she's cute! this was recent, probably within the last month or so. most of the picture folders on my computer are now of her, so there was a very high probability that the posted picture was going to be of her :)

just being silly

i realized i hadn't posted anything in a while, so here are a few pictures of us just being silly!! amelia is definitely becoming her own person. she knows what she likes and what she doesn't! she likes to read, she likes to be silly and she likes to make funny faces for the camera.

crawling

we are on the verge of amelia crawling. she can get up on her arms, she can get up on her knees...she just has to get everything to work together and off she will be. megoo and snowflake better take cover, because she will be after them in no time. that's it, i'm going to bed :)

happy halloween!!!

have a great halloween everyone!

love, the wolter family sandwich

6 month check up

hello everyone! it's been a while, but i finally have some time this morning to post. amelia had her 6 month check up on 10/20/08, and she is doing great! she is 14.13lbs and
24 3/4 inches. i would have thought she weighed a little more, but i guess not. she had 3 shots, and was miserable monday night and all day tuesday and tuesday night. we didn't get much sleep! also, she is teething, and that is not making her a happy camper! overall though, she is doing great!!
as you can see, we have a new addition. that is snowflake and she is 3 months old. we got her on saturday night, and she is just a bundle of energy. megoo, our 2 year old male cat isn't so sure about her, but he's getting better! amelia likes to grab onto her tail or her legs and not let go, and snowflake is really good about it! well folks, i guess that is it for now. you'll probably get more pictures after halloween!!

eating and tartan terrors

okay, so amelia has started eating vegetables. as you can see, in the green bib is when mommy feeds her, and in the blue bib is when daddy feeds her! she loves to get messy, but i think i do a little bit of a better job keeping her somewhat clean through dinner.
on 9/19, was riverfest in reading, pa and the tartan terrors played. here a picture of amelia in her custom made tartan terrors onesie. she loved them, although she did sleep through their entire second set :)

30

today is my birthday. i am 30. no longer in my 20's, but not really in my 30's yet. i took the day off from work. reading riverfest is today/tonight, and the tartan terrors are going to be playing tonight. www.tartanterrors.com i love them!! they play at the pa renaissance faire on saturdays and sundays, and they always try to find a gig on friday nights in the area. check them out, they are awesome!! amelia loves listening to them in the car!
my husband got me the best birthday present/anniversary present (a little early).....we're going to disneyworld next november for our 5th wedding anniversary! we're going the same week that we went when we went on our honeymoon!! i'm so excited!!! oh, and i got to sleep in today, until 8am!! woohoo and happy birthday to me!!

new relief for headaches

this is how my darling husband is now going to relieve his headaches. start with an icepack, put on the bumbo seat, and there you have it! he's just a little silly :)

amelia and cora

here are amelia and cora at the mall on tuesday, 9/2/08. this was their "playdate" as amy and i had met for lunch. they are just two of the cutest little girls i have ever seen :) they have their own little language and everything! i think amy and i are both going to enjoy having them grow up together. and, don't forget all the fun times that they'll have antogonizing will :)

this week

well, so far so good this week....BUT today was amelia's first day with daddy. my office was closed on monday, and i had off on tuesday, so today was daddy and amelia's first day back to work together, and it went okay. tante erika was there mid-morning. in the afternoon karl decided it was too hot to work, and they were dead at the shop, so he closed, and him and amelia came to visit me at work. he has her again tomorrow at work, and then i took off on friday, just because, so she will be with me again all day :)
next week will probably be the true test, because i work all week, and wednesday is my late night, until 7pm! although, granny is going to take her friday 9/12 until until sunday 9/14. she'll probably pick her up in the early evening or we'll drop her off!! love those granny weekends!
this weekend we are going to delaware to visit friends and go to the delaware german dance group's anniversary dance. wish us luck, this will be our first long car ride with amelia....i know, i know, there are those of you out there that have done longer trips, but this is our first one, that is over an hour. hopefully she does okay, and maybe she'll just sleep ;) if i don't post again this week, have a great weekend everyone!!

mall playdate

well, we just got home from the mall and our playdate with cora and aunt amy! we met them for lunch and did some shopping for will!! yes, will has arrived, and we bought him the cutest outfit ever!! i think aunt katie and will are going home for the hospital tomorrow, so we'll put it in the mail to them this week.
amelia and cora had a nice playdate at the mall. they slept, and then they were awake looking at each other. i'll post the picture from the playdate as soon as it's loaded onto the computer. amy and i had a nice lunch and were able to catch up. it's amazing that as soon as you become a parent, you don't really talk about too much else besides your child. i'm pretty sure that's what 90% of our conversation was about :) well, i guess that's all for now! it's time for amelia to eat and hopefully take her afternoon nap. hope everyone had a nice labor day weekend!!

this should be interesting

so, the next 2 weeks should prove to be very interesting. you see, every morning karl and amelia go to the greenhouse to work. well, sheila (omi), karl's mom, watches amelia all day. my in-laws live above the greenhouse, and amelia hangs out with omi all day while daddy works. well, today sheila and dieter are leaving for colorado for 2 weeks, so that should change the dynamic at the greenhouse. i'm assuming that erika (my sister-in-law) will be watching amelia during the day, that is once she gets to work. she has to get samantha on the bus for school in the morning, and then she leaves by 3pm to be home when samantha gets home. i can't wait to hear about the first day without omi and opa!! i'll keep you posted :)

woohoo!!

woohoo!! even after emailing aj and steph and asking how to add photos to my posts, i figured out how to do it myself...sorry, just a little bit impatient :) wow, two posts in one night, don't get used to it!!!

welcome

welcome to the wolter family blog!
i can't imagine what i'm going to write about, but i'm sure i'll find something :) the posts may be few and far between, seeing as though amelia jean is almost 5 months old, and demands so much more of our attention. she wants to play all the time, and is more and more active everyday. oh, what am i going to do when she starts moving?! i will try to keep this as updated as i can, and feel free to leave comments. thanks for stopping by!!
