Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Amelia from the past couple days.

Here are some older pictures of Amelia, but they were so cute - they had to be posted.

Amelia Videos

Here are a couple videos of Amelia.

Amelia smacking her lips - she did this a lot and continues to be quite the little noise maker. (1st week after birth)

Amelia grunts and groans a lot in her sleep and when she wakes up, its very loud for a newborn. (3 weeks old)

Amelia tracking the little birds on her swing. (5 weeks old)

Noah Sends Well Wishes to Amelia

Uncle Tom and Aunt Michelle came to meet Amelia this past weekend from Michigan. Amelia's cousin Noah couldn't come visit, but he sent us these two videos to us.

This one is a bit hard to understand; however, it is so sweet how he calls Amelia - Anelia.

Jesus Loves Me by Noah

Thank you so much for the videos Noah! We send our love to you and Amelia cannot wait to meet you and Emma.

Uncle Tom & Aunt Michelle Meet Amelia

Uncle Tom and Aunt Michelle came to meet Amelia from Michigan. It was so good to see them, spend time together and also introduce our little angel. Amelia also has 2 cousins, Noah and Emma with a 3rd cousin (Richard Richard Didier - for short, Rick Dick Didier - lovin' the name) on the way! Aunt Michelle looks great! Thanks so much for making the trip to Minneapolis! We are excited for all the cousins on the Didier side to meet each other!

"Wow, I'm an Uncle!"

Amelia and Aunt Michelle. Michelle is getting a refresher for the little guy coming in November!

Falling asleep on Uncle Tom. What comfortable arms he has!

Ryan and Melissa came over to visit while Tom and Michelle were here. It was great to be together - the only ones missing were Liz and her hubby and the 4 cousins would have all been there (just like old times). Tom and Michelle also got to see Ryan race the next night which they thoroughly enjoyed!

Uncle Tom listening very intently :) So serious!

Aunt Michelle is all smiles!

"Can I come in?"

Amelia and Mommy

Snuggles

Amelia has lately started to snuggle into mommy and daddy's chest when we hold her. It is super sweet! However along with this snuggling she will end up heads down between our arm and chest. This must be really comfy for her, but not the most safe!! Even if we move her she will move to the other side and do the same thing!!! She sure is starting to move around a lot!

James, Jenna and Olivia Meet Amelia

Uncle James, Aunt Jenna and Cousin Olivia came to meet Amelia and visit. It was also the first time we were able to see Olivia since she was a baby, so it was fun to spend time together! Olivia and Amelia are exactly 6 months apart to the day! Olivia - January 8th. Amelia - July 8th.

This is the first time the cousins meet. Aren't the size differences amazing - six months really makes a difference. It will also probably be the biggest size difference the two girls will ever have.

Olivia is such a happy baby! What a sweetheart.

Uncle James loving on Amelia.

Aunt Jenna is being reminded of what a little one feels like in her arms! :)

Olivia kept waking her mommy up during the night. They are finally getting some shut-eye.

Olivia is really starting to move around! She got stuck under our ottoman- it was so cute.

Olivia checking out Amelia

Amelia has found her tongue and likes to use it!

We enjoyed Lake Calhoun so much we decided to take James, Jenna and the girls for a picnic. It was such a beautiful day.

Amelia and Mommy

James, Olivia and Patrick went swimming and said the water was incredibly warm!

The Ladies

The guys were making us laugh!

While we were playing cards - it suddenly got really quite. So we decided to check on Olivia and come to find out she fell asleep on the play mat - it was pretty cute.
