What Amélie's been up to:
She had her two week check up. Still super skinny in the 19th percentile for weight. she still was a few oz under her birth weight. Still working on breast feeding I was doing what her doctor suggested for a week but that didn't seem to work. Now I'm feeding her on demand. She is a really pokey eater like she takes an hour and half. I think she may have gained some weight but it's hard to tell.
Her sleeping habits are sketching at best. One day she sleeps great the next she'll be up for hours. Yesterday I realized in might be my love of caffine. I'm going to try not to have any after 6:00 pm. I hope it's not my CAFFINNNEEEEEEEEE!

As most of you have seen on Facebook and this blog we had her newborn pictures taken. They turned out so great! I'm trying to control myself on putting to many baby pictures up.It's Kelly Anderson fault for making me have to have control she took way to many adorable pictures. Seriously Kelly is great if you live in Utah want some family photos taken you should ask her.

She has had two baths now. The first one was not a fun at all. Her second one I remembered to put the towel in the dyer, turn on the space heater in the bathroom, warm up the water before undressing the baby, and have a pacifier. She seemed to not mind it after a few seconds of screaming. Robert is good at holding her still while I bathe her.


On Friday she got to see Big G or Grandpa Hiltbrand since he had a layover in SLC.

She had her first sacrament meeting and was only a little fussy. I took her in the hall walked around the building once and she was out. She wore this cute little blue dress from Aunt Christina and Isobel.Sorry not the best picture.



We went to North Salt Lake on Sunday and showed off our little cutie to Robert's Nanny and Granddad Van Wagenen.





She has been to two movies with us. Where she was a perfect angel. She loves her sling. I love that she loves her sling. I can't say enough about her sling. On a related note she went on her first walk out side last Thursday and than on Friday for another one. Did I mention that she loves her sling?

She seems to have a pleasant personality. Even when she has been awake for hours she still is not too bad. It's so easy just to stare and her for hours. She is just so beautiful even though she is a mini Robert. I don't see much of me in her maybe when she is older.

On more thing I love watching Robert with Amélie he is just so loving. He is great with her. He takes her a lot at night when she is upset because she has gas. He comes home from school and always asks how his baby is and holds her. It's just so dang cute.



The clothes are clean and warm she loved it...all but it does make us look a little white trash.
