Oh Amelie it has now been 2 months. Now I see how the time can fly by. Your Opa and Gma Gigax came to visit for 3 weeks. How blessed are we? They both helped so much with you. The love they have for you is beyond words. It is so amazing to see how many people love you. Missy constantly just told me to go with the flow and you would tell me what you needed. I am such a routine/scheduler that I want it to go exactly according to plan down to the minute. HA. You have a completely different plan and keep us all on our toes.
Your daddy and I continue our lives of getting out of the house as much as possible. We knew when we had you that we didn't want to stop our exciting lives. You now just make it more exciting. Your daddy is so adventurous that he is always up for something new. Every weekend we go down to the Rhine River so everyone can swim and just hang out. We end up having cookouts with our portable grills. During the week when Daddy is at work I always take you outside. You just LOVE being outside and Mommy and Daddy are happy for that. When we are at home time just seems to slow down and get boring. That is why we love living in the city because right outside our door is hustle and bustle. I love Starbucks and we tend to go there at least 4 days a week. Yikes, I know, seeing as a drink here in Switzerland is about 8 francs. We have many fun girls to meet and I feel so blessed to have them in my life. I don't know what I would do without this amazing support system. God is always looking out for us.
You are always wanting to be held now. We recently bought a different attachment for the stroller because you hate lying on your back. You now love being upright and looking out in the stroller. You love napping on your stomach. It makes us nervous though so we always make sure and check on you. You absolutely love the baby carrier and anytime we put you in it you fall right asleep. If you are not in the carrier you cry so very hard until we hold you and rock you. You like being snug as a rug kind of like you were in my womb. I am not going to lie my back is killing me!! Holding you for 7 naps a day can take a toll. Daddy holds and carries you whenever he is home. Your Dad is completely obsessed with you. The way he looks at you is precious. He runs home from work and sweeps you up in his arms. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He easily takes 50% of workload off of me. I am very blessed.
We are both still very tired. You are wanting to be up more at night. Once you get up for a feed you want to stay in my arms. I end up having to sleep in the rocking chair with you or sleep on the couch. It is rough for now but I know it won't always be like this. You don't have a bedtime which is nice right now because we can go out and do whatever we want. I know soon enough your bedtime will be 7 or 8 and we don't have a choice :)
Places we went your second month: Austria, Germany, France and Italy. You are one travelled baby. Like I said we like to continue our lives :) I will blog later about your trips to Austria and Italy. They were amazing trips. We are heading to the US of A in a few weeks so we need to get your passport! Passport at 10 weeks, WOW. Your extended family is dying to meet you in Indiana.
Amelie J. The love we have for you is unimaginable. We cannot believe you are our daughter. Our hearts explode with love for you. You are our joy. You are our world. We love you miss Amelie.
