Just being cute

Amelie hits the beach

It was a little cold and windy by the time we got there, but Amelie didn't seem to mind too much

Trying to get the smiles

Daniel and I seem to spend much of our time now trying to get Amelie to smile and giggle. She does it a lot, just never when we are trying to get photos...

ok this is a bit of an experiment

Here's Amelie hanging out in her cot... ok if this works I'll be sure to get some more interesting footage but I'm sure granma will enjoy even this!

8 weeks=needles

On Thursday I took Amelie to get her first round of immunisations... I guess I assumed that they would give all the medicine in one needle, so was quite shocked when the nurse pulled out three. I mean its pretty hard for most adults to face one needle, let alone three. But Amelie was a champion, only cried for a minute or so. And to be truthful while most mums freak out a little when they first hear the'I'm in pain and I might be dying..' cry (according to the nurse), I actually found it really cute!! Anyway it turns out Amelie is a bit of a giant... she's now 62cm...yes thats a massive 4cm of growth since her 6 week check up, putting her in the top 5% of her age group for a girl. It must be something going around because every baby I know seems to be about that size.

And of course there were friends to meet

Amelie got to meet lots of people, but being a terrible photographer I constantly forget to take photos. But here is one of her visit with Aunty Kate...very proficient at the baby holding thing! And one of her meeting Eli for the first time.

Amelie and Nanna

We also made a trip so Amelie could meet her scottish great-grandmother (on Dan's mum's side), Nanna. Hopefully we'll be able to head north about Easter time next year so Amelie can meet the rest of the family.
