Grandma and Grandpa T Visit Me!

Happy Sunday!
We had visitors this weekend! Grandma and Grandpa T came to meet Amelia and celebrate Ford's birthday. He is 31 and officially well into his 30's now. To celebrate, we went out to dinner. It was Amelia's first experience at a restaurant and definitely her first experience around that many people. She seemed amazed, startled and a bit frightened, I don't know if 8 week old babies feel those things, but those were her facial expressions as perceived by us, her nervous parents. Does she hate it here? Is she going to scream? Is she too cold? Should we just get our food to go and avoid any potential baby break downs? No, take a breath, relax, and remember that we are not the first people to ever bring a new baby to a restaurant. Dim lights, the hum of conversation and clanging silverware, lounge music coming from the bar...oh she fell asleep...ahhh. Success.
We had a great weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Turrell who witnessed first hand Amelia's aversion to laying on any flat surface alone during the day. She got worked up a few times, hard enough that her little eyes were able to form her first tears, they weren't substantial enough to fall down her cheeks, but they were there! A happy moment for us but sad for her. :)
She is talking more, she and her Dad have long conversations. When she is not wailing she sure does love to smile. :)
The picture of Amelia features her wearing her U of M onesie on game day again. She is officially the good luck charm for the Wolverines. Since she started wearing it on game day, victory for Michigan. If she keeps growing like she has been, I'm not sure the onesie will last the season...we'll make it work.
Please pray specifically for Amelia's skin on her neck. It's being quite stubborn since this area never sees the light of day...too many rolls! One week from tomorrow is her dermatologist appointment. We need lots of extra prayers this week. Thank you all for keeping her in your thoughts and daily prayers. We are so thankful for each and every one of you and pray for all of you as well.

Kim, Ford and Amelia
