Happy Birthday Amelia!!!

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!

P.S. Don't mind the dates on some of the pictures. Yes, almost all of them are wrong.
