Amy threw up in a huge torrent, all over herself and Stella, and even managed to get some on the floor, so she had to go for a bath.

Also, new pictures in the Baby album! And a new userpic!

She's so adorable (the christening gown! Aaa!! =) And she has Stella's nose =) Heh, I saw the pics of the other little girl sitting on the duckie and thought, "Wow, she grew up FAST." =O

Stella's looking less tired now =D

Stella made it all by herself! Bought a pattern for a christening gown and some cloth and sewed it herself, then put on beads and ribbons and stuff to her own taste. Cost her maybe $20 Canadian in total, she said.

Pity that babies don't make happy smiley faces on command, so there are a bunch of pictures I'm not that enamoured with.

Hee! Emily had a two months' head-start, too; Stella said the other day that Amy is just now weighing what Emily did at birth. And Emily is now 22¾ months old.

Wow =) It's very pretty.

I heard that they will imitate the expression of the person in front of them. That's from my Infant Psychology course. Try smiling really hard at her right at her face and see if she copies you =)

Babies and puke. Aahhhh, memories. My oldest was 9lb6 at birth (about 4250g), and was 33 lb (15 kg) at a year. He nursed roughly every two hours, and ate very quickly; maybe 5 minutes on each side.

He puked regularly and often. The smell of sour milk on my shoulder is a lasting memory of my young-daddy days. But he somehow managed to still keep enough down to grow like a milk-fed pumpkin.

For baby puke — especially the "sour milk" kind, not the "I'm sick and actually vomiting" kind — we (my family) use the word "gurp". Came from my dad, not quite sure how. Wonderfully onomatopoeic. I spent a year with a folded clean cloth diaper on my shoulder, and still had to dry clean my church suit every month or two.

We didn't have a car then, either, so I got to carry that great lump around in a snugli for a year. And yes, the snugli inherited that great gurp smell, too.

Now he's 6'3" (1.90 m) and 165 lb (75 kg) on a good day. It's hard to remember he used to look like an embryonic sumo wrestler.

Ahhh, memories. I gots to scan me all those pictures I have in boxes that never quite made it into photo albums. I wonder if the ADF on my HP Officejet 6110 will handle standard 4x6 photos without losing too much on the margins....
