She was quite the popular girl at the breakfast table, everyone wanted to sit right next to the birthday girl!
I love a two year old's birthday, the simplest things please this little one! We put on a new dress, which she was thrilled with, and then headed to the grocery store for donuts and a ride on Sandy the horse. She was in heaven! Daddy brought balloons, she felt so special.
Being the 4th child, Amelia knows the birthday drill and she loved being the center of attention for the day.
The boys used some of their own money to buy gifts for Amelia. T&R put their money together to buy her this purple ball. I wish you could see the smile on her face when she opened it, she was so happy!
Andrew bought Amelia a candy bar and then created a scavenger hunt for her to find it. I thought it was so thoughtful of him to put it all together and then give her a boost to find her treasure. Love these kids!
We love this girl! She's such a fun child to have in our family. Amelia is funny, and she knows it. She realizes when she has the attention and she can put on a show being silly, teasing, dancing, and laughing.

We love this girl! She's such a fun child to have in our family. Amelia is funny, and she knows it. She realizes when she has the attention and she can put on a show being silly, teasing, dancing, and laughing. Amelia continues to be incredibly content. Often, I hear her in her crib when waking in the morning or after a nap. Rather than screaming, crying, etc., she'll roll around, talk, sing, and when she's ready she calls for mom. The boys love to go in and hop in her crib with her. She thinks that's pretty cool.
Amelia loves to help others. If she hears me ask the boys to put away their shoes, flush the toilet, close the door, (you know, all the endless reminders a mom is known for) she pipes up, "I do it!" She'll run to the chore and complete it with pride and announce, "I did it!"
This girl loves to wash her hands! She climbs up to the sink and says, "I wash, I wash!" She soaps, soaps again, rinses, soaps again, and again. I think she especially loves the "soapy".
Speaking of "soapee" this girl adds a "ee" sound to everything. Here are a few of our favorite "ee" words she says.
Gankee- blanky
Reidee- Reid
Toyee- toilet
watee- water
coldee- cold
shoeee- shoe
Amelia is a dream to put down for a nap or bed time! When we lay her down, she wants fresh water in her sippy cup- always requests a trip to the bathroom to refill the cup- but then she lays down and waves goodbye with a smile. Love it!
We love this girl and we are so happy she's part of our family! Happy birthday big girl!
