Well a very exciting thing happened in the Steffen household recently, I celebrated my 1/2 birthday. Unfortunately, it wasn't that eventful because Dad says we only get to celebrate "real" birthdays. Whatever. Sunday I woke up a bit early, I think I just knew it was a big day. Mom dressed me in a new, super cute, outfit and we took our monthly pictures. I know that I now outweigh Marley, but with all of her hair I still think she looks bigger. One day... Anyway, after pictures and breakfast we went to church. It had been a while since I've gone. To that point, can I tell you how happy I am that it is March? February really was a tough month for our house with sicknesses. Of course mom and I both still have coughs...and Marley had to go to the doctor this week for an infection....hmmm...ok, maybe March isn't all that great either. Hopefully things start getting better soon. I digress...church was good I saw Violet at daycare and then saw Ava after the service, so of course that was fun. Did I mention that I now have another Ava in my school? I will refer to her as Ava 2 if ever required. I am not sure if I have room to be BFF's with 2 Ava's, so I may just keep her as an 'acquaintance'. Sorry, easily side tracked today. Afer church it was back to home where I got to skype with both of my grandma's. That really wore me out...so I slept pretty good!

This week has been great thus far, been busy with a lot of the usual stuff; school, playing, eating, sleeping, and growing. Or at least teeth growing. My 2nd tooth has now broke through....exciting stuff.

that my friend Avery let me borrow.  She is so big she got a new one

Speaking of eating...I keep trying new foods, so I have decided that I am going to start a page with my rankings of foods I'm trying. So look for the new link on the right! Dad and I are hanging out tonight while mom went to go play some volleyball. They said they had hopes of me being a middle blocker for Nebraska one day...but that I still have a lot of growing to do if that is going to happen. I have 18 years to go, so plenty of time!

Sitting up good and posing in my tutu!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I officially rolled over on Saturday. I have tried to tell mom and dad that I CAN roll over if I want to, I just CHOOSE not to. Apparently, they didn't like that choice. Saturday mom made me do tummy time, so i thought I would surprise her and flip over. No biggie. She called for dad right away so he could see this big accomplishment, but too bad...."You snooze, you lose". I will wait till he least expects it to give him a peek of my abilities.

All right I'm exhausted... Amelia OUT!
