The Lovely Boulder

First off, our pretty Amelia is 4 months old now. Too fast! I went back and watched video from when she was 4 weeks old. She was so skinny and wrinkly, love it.

So what's new with her?
  • She got a new color on her monkey toes.

  • She still spends most of her time in this position. When she rolls over all the way it will be the success of weeks and weeks of hard work.

  • She smiles at people, not cameras. That takes a quick camera action on my part. The second she sees the camera come up, her face goes stone cold. I caught a little smirk here.

  • She keeps her head in line with her body when I pull her up into a sitting position.
  • She has become increasingly dependent on her binky. She used to never need it, went to sleep perfectly without it. Now she is Maggie Simpson with that bink in her mouth every second. (That Simpson reference is for you, Juan, Maggie's the baby, right?).
  • She loves her giraffe. It moves its head as it plays Twinkle Twinkle.
  • She scratches at things. Like a cat.
  • She doesn't talk as much as she used to. That darn binky.
Now onto our weekend. We spent all day Saturday in Boulder.

We ate at Foolish Craig's Cafe, known for their crepes. This is my breakfast crepe. Delish.


And the dessert. Are you kidding me? The breakfast crepe was good, this dessert crepe, To Die For. We've got 4 weeks left in Denver. I may drive an hour to Boulder each week just for this.


We walked Pearl Street. We went to the kite store and the candy store. There were street performers. We caught a magic show and this guy above. He juggles torches and knives. Pretty sweet. Street performers, candy shop, doesn't it sound like a charming place?


We headed over to Chautauqua park. Absolutely gorgeous, right by the mountains. Here is our try at a family picture. I like it-Juan's concentrating on taking the pic, Amelia is in la la land. We just sat on a blanket and talked and played with our girl. It was a perfect saturday really.


And to end with my FAVORITE picture yet. Dad and Millie. Take a look at that smile.

Yes, i am IN LOVE with that last picture of Juan and Millie. and i love to write her name as Millie. how cute! she just blows me away in every picture - what a perfect little girl. i can't believe that she hasn't rolled over yet after being in that position - her arm even looks like it is under her body like it should be. She is so so close!

That is such a cute picture! No better way to get Juan to smile than with that cute Amelia in his arms. You had a wonderful weekend! Cami you look so pretty in all of your pictures too! What a beautiful little family you have.

Boulder seems like it is fun. Those crepes look so yummy. I miss European Connection that had the crepe sandwiches. I don't even know if those are still around.

That picture of Amelia in la la land is so great. It looks like she is whistling.
