Amelia reached another milestone today on her daddy’s birthday, but alas, he didn’t get to see it. This morning when I went into her room to change her diaper and say good morning, I found her on her belly in her crib! Apparently she had rolled over from her back to her belly. This is the first time I’ve seen this happen. But we’ve been expecting it to happen since she likes to sleep on her side most nights. We knew it was only a matter of time before she rolled the rest of the way over to her belly. It was quite surprising and I would have been more excited about it, but her face was almost pushed into the crib bumper. She has a habit of turning in her sleep, and last night I had to straighten her back out several times after she had turned herself perpendicular to the length of the crib. So I guess she wiggled enough before rolling over to twist herself face first into the bumper.
But she has officially rolled over from back to belly. Woohoo!
Oh yeah…Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband and the best father my daughter could ever want…she really has become a full-fledged daddy’s girl.

Amelia,
Today you are 6 months old. I can’t believe it’s already been that long. It seems like just yesterday we welcomed you to the world and I was having to rely on grandma to take care of you while I was stuck in the hospital. You’ve grown so much and are sitting up almost on your own. You are babbling constantly yelling out “dadda” at every moment. Your face lights up when we come into your room each morning. You are such a happy girl. We are so lucky to have such a good-natured baby. You are so alert and observant.
You have definitely grown into a “daddy’s girl.” Which makes it difficult to feed you sometimes when all daddy has to do is walk into the room and you are distracted enough to not eat. I still get teary-eyed just thinking about your birth and the mere fact that you are in my life.
My world revolves around you and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t imagine my life without you. Your smile lights my heart. And I can’t wait to see all the new things you discover in the next six months and the rest of your life.
Love,
Mommy

I redesigned the site so that I could have two sidebars. This would allow me to add more to my sidebar and include some google ads. Of course after all this trouble, the google code to add doesn’t seem to be working with my layout. Whenever I add the code it messes up my sidebar. Go figure. I have no idea what is causing it because it’s javascript, so now I’m not sure I’ll even be able to use it.
Oh well, I’ll play with it more at some point. For now, at least you get a google powered search at the top of every page.

I just have to say, my daughter is the cutest thing ever. Of course, I’m partial because I’m her mother, but everyone I meet says the same thing.

I forgot a few magazines. I actually have two more! But I had not counted them before because they are work related. I get Visual Studio magazine and SQL Server magazine. Both are excellent resources, especially the SQL Server one.

I’ve turned into a magazine junkie. I have no idea why, but suddenly I’m subscribed to 4 magazines. Two are baby magazines… Parents and Baby Talk. The other two are scrapbooking. Simple Scrapbooks and Digital Scrapbooking.
Baby Talk (BT) is free and I’ve had it since I got pregnant. Parents was cheap so I got a 3 year subscription. I mainly use Simple Scrapbooks for the layout inspiration. I like to scraplift and love the simple layouts. Digital Scrapbooking is great because it focuses on specific techniques for digital layouts.
So I’m now have plenty of reading material besides all the books I’ve yet to read sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. LOL!
