Happy New Year!!!

Amelia has decided that this whole holiday thing is a pretty good gig. Her first holidays were full of love. Some of the highlights:

She got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Lang who came back to Illinois from California. They couldn't pass up Christmas with their girls Georgia and Amelia. Amelia thinks that Grandpa Lang is perfect for napping on!

Grandma Ann and Auntie M came in from Kansas. Amelia already misses having so many people around to hold her.

Santa came to see her for the first time. On the way home she asked why Santa sounded so much like Uncle Tomme.

Playing with her cousin Georgia is always fun!

While all the fun is over and the company gone Amelia has decided that having mom and dad to dote over her isn't so bad.....

Busy Week

Grandma Ann was here from Kansas this week and made sure I was spoiled all week long. In between eating, sleeping and you know what we stayed very busy:

My mom took a ridiculous amount of pictures of me.

I went on my first shopping trip to Southport which included a ride on Chicago's L.

We went out for a pizza dinner. The pizza and wine were delicious and the booth very comfortable.
And I watched my first KU basketball game with dad. He sure makes a ruckus when he watches sports....

Amelia's Homecoming

So far things have gone really well at home. Papa (Grandpa Evans also doesn't want to be called Grand-anything so we are trying out some other names) and Merrill were here through Sunday for Thanksgiving. They spent lots of time in the kitchen and left us with great leftovers. Amelia loved having them to hangout with and misses them lots. She is also having fun meeting all her friends in Chicago and her cousin Georgia! Her first bath was very eventful with Amelia showing off her bodily function skills.

Amelia Arrives

After a very eventful drive down Lake Shore Drive, Amelia Merrill Lang quickly arrived at 10:48am on Wednesday, November 26th. She weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and 19 inches long. We were suprised by her dark hair and eyes. She has her daddy's hands and feet. Grandma Ann (who doesn't want to be called grandma which we are working on) brought us celebratory champage.
