Warning: this entry is a little long with lots of pictures.......it is a tribute to our Amelia!
Once upon a time.......about 3 years ago, a little baby girl was born. She was 7lbs. 8oz., 19 inches long, and had red hair:
This is Amelia with her Grandma Roberts ("Fishy") less than an hour after she was born:
Amelia's father, Calvin, after staying awake for 48 straight hours wondered what in the world he had gotten himself into:
But, when the child would sleep, things seemed a little less scary:
Amelia experienced her first Easter three days after she was born:
The car seat that held the little child seemed a little too big at first (Is that circular thing around the baby's head supposed to do something?):
Amelia finally started getting used to the outside world......or did she?
Amelia had a wonderful blessing day:
Amelia was finally starting to relax and enjoy her family:
She also grew into her car seat :
Amelia then picked her sport of choice (WHAT? No soccer in Enterprise?) I guess she will play the next best thing.......pickle ball:
Amelia's family was so happy to have her:
By this time, Amelia started learning all about food:
The family sure thought Amelia was cute in yellow:
When Amelia turned one, she celebrated with her Grandma Holt and cousins. She just soaked in all that attention.......wait, that was someone else:
After a while, Milly really started experiencing new things.......shapes,walking, camping, licorice, the zoo:
When Amelia wanted, she could sure be the camera's good friend:
But occasionally, she would shy away from the camera.....and strange hands:
Amelia loved necklaces, and her daddy......and still does:
By the time Amelia was two, you could see her becoming comfortable in restaurants, mowing the lawn, taking care of food storage, being a chef with Grandma "Fishy", and she even became a very protective big sister! Boy, our little girl was sure growing up:
Amelia, like her parents, never was a morning person:
But, she could sure strike a pose:
Amelia and little sister Anya, quickly became "best buddies":
Amelia has recently become a scholar of sorts:
Amelia loves to be with her cousins.......Ashlee is one of her top 50:
We love Amelia. We are so happy that she is 3. (Does this mean the terrible 2's are over?) She is such a good big sister and so fun to be around (Except when she is mad.....she does have red hair, ya know!!) . She is also a very funny girl, and we think her dimples and bright red hair are very cute:
Happy Birthday Amelia!!!! We love you! Let's live happily ever after!
The End
P.S. Don't mind the dates on some of the pictures. Yes, almost all of them are wrong.
