Happy Times, Sad Times

This past week was really sad for Adam and me. We had to take Amora to the doctor to get her 2 month shots. We tried to plan ahead and give her Tylenol beforehand, but the second those shots went in, there was a lot of screaming. We joked that after that, Amora put in an ad for new parents. She was mad at us and we had to pay for the next couple of days. Luckily, the pain has subsided and she's back to her same old princess self. At least she's cute. Our chunky little girl is already 13 pounds, in the 95th percentile. She has officially grown out of 0-3 month clothes and is now in 3-6 months.
This weekend was an exciting one for all of us. Amora got to meet her Grandpa Loumeau.


Needless to say, she's got another person wrapped around her chubby little fingers.

I love this one too. They are just so cute. Any resemblance?

He took us to this really nice restaurant, The Warehouse Bistro, and spoiled all of us the entire weekend. I got his famous eggs every morning. Now, life is back to normal and we're trying to figure out where to live for the next three years. So far, none of our options have worked out, but we're confident we'll end up in a great place.

Beautiful Baby Girl


Our little Amora Joy is a handful, to say the least. She absolutely hates the car. Unless she's asleep, she will scream until we take her out of the car seat. We think she hates the car so much because she demands that she be held at all times. I love to cuddle with my little girl, but it makes it very hard to get anything done. Also, Adam is sure she spits up everything she eats which increases our laundry loads. Until recently, her nighttime ritual consisted of screaming for a few hours then finally falling asleep at about 1 am. It's things like these that make me understand how people say that being a parent is hard work. But then, it's also very rewarding...

When she flashes me that big gummy smile, it makes it all worth it. My heart absolutely melts when she tries to find her voice and starts babbling. I adore when her hand grabs one of my fingers when she's eating. Also, when she stares at herself in the mirror. But one of the sweetest things is watching her with her daddy. They are so adorable together. It's incredible that we have this beautiful baby girl now. She's shifted everything in our world, and we wouldn't have it any other way. I've got the best little family.
