Amelia's First Birthday

Wow! Where has time gone! Amelia is 1 year old today! She is about 26 pounds and about 32" tall (we'll find out on 6/6 - she has her 1 year check up then). She has 4 teeth on the bottom and one on the top, she is walking everywhere (almost running!), talking up a storm - she has at least 7-8 words, laughing and smiling all the time! She loves to be outside, smelling flowers, playing with her toys and playing guitar with Daddy. She is a great sleeper, 12 hours at night at 2 good naps during the day. Miss Amelia loves to eat - anything - she loves food. I haven't found anything yet she doesn't like. She prefers to drink water (with a little lemon if you let her! lol) over anything else. I know all parents say it but she is very smart, we can give her a command or ask her a question and she responds with a word or action. She loves telling you she is "so big", if you ask her if she's one she'll hold up a finger. Newman is her best friend and protector. He's taken to sleeping on the chair in her room next to the crib.

She's precious, Liz - growing up so fast!! Can't believe it's already been a year?! WOW! You are very blessed...

Liz,

The first year goes by so quickly and there are so many changes that they go through!! She is so darn cute! You and Chris are very blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA!!!

Love, Beth

I am so happy for you and Chris.  I am at work and can not see the pics.  Looking forward to checking them out when I get home.  Thanks for the updates - takes me back to when my kids were little and everything was so new.  I loved those times.  And while it does go by fast, the memories are there forever!  Enjoy every moment! :)

Liz,

Amelia sounds like an absolute delight, time goes quickly and so my advice as a mother and now grandmother to 4 is enjoy each precious moment, these are the ones that go by quicker than you know. . .

Happy Birthday Amelia and best wishes for a loving life, which based on your parents, I think is a given!!!

Hugs, Laureen

Awesome!

Happy Birthday Amelia!  She is a doll.  Enjoy every moment with your precious little girl.

Liz,

     Amelia's pictures are precious.  It's hard to believe that a year has gone by so quickly.  One of these days I will get to meet the two of you in person.  Best wishes to you and Chris and your "little star"  Take care.

She is precious.  Happy Birthday, Mia.  Enjoy her while she is young.  They grow up too fast.

Love,
Trish

Thank You Everyone. She had a great day. Gave her a cup cake after dinner - she devoured it lol. I guess she got my sweet tooth!

Thank You also to all of you who have been so immensily supportive through everything!!
