Fun in the Sun with the Gramps

Grammy and Grampy came to visit last weekend. All Amelia wanted to do is play "Oww-sie"...which is what she always wants to do lately.

Walking to the Gelato place down the street...mmmmm...

We had to force feed her to get her to try ice cream...then she wanted more.

BabyDoll

Amelia does everything to her BabyDoll that we do to her. She dresses her, diapers her, feeds her bottles, and occasionally throws her out of the crib...oh wait, we don't do that. Tonight, (the soft, plush, not waterproof) BabyDoll even got a bath. Oops.

Sunny Days....

Kettle Cove adventure with Lily and Tristan.

Ready to conquer the world!

Mmm...Jalepeno Cheddar chips...

It's hard to get a good shot of this one, she is always on the go!

Chasing away the seagull that was trying to steal her goldfish.

She drinks water like a runner, squish the cup and slam it back

The towel around her neck didn't help at all.

Off she goes again, it's going to be a great summer.

I knew it was a little too quiet...(she is signing "water" by the way, it has recently moved up onto her nose...)

Sunny Day at Smiling Hill

The McGillvray's and Amelia and I went to Smiling Hill Farm in search of some outdoor fun on this warm sunny March day. Unfortunately, all the animals still think it's winter and the barnyard was closed. So there was a parking lot and a cafe/store. Not quite what I had in mind. Amelia didn't seem to find it boring though!

She got her first taste of Chocolate milk straight from the glass bottle. I'm only holding it because there is a little vent hole in the spout that leaked all over her. She would have drank the whole pint if I didn't cut her off. I got a stomach ache just thinking about that.

Then we played the classic game of "walk around the parking lot". Amelia had a blast. She ran around for a good 20 minutes.

Amelia Bedelia Helps Out again

Amelia really wants to help out in the kitchen so I let her help me with the dishes on Saturday. She did a great job cleaning them off with her tongue!

And putting already clean dishes back in the sink. The chair has saved my arm from fatigue many times, she has also helped cook, chop, turn the toaster oven on, and clean the counter!

Tristan Turns ONE!

Tristan turned one on Friday and we had a big bash at our house on Saturday. Here are a few (slightly Amelia focused) highlights.

The new whine face followed by "Uh.....peeeze"

Grampy reading to Amelia.

Cousin Meghan made a month-by-month banner of Tristan! It's awesome!

Party Favors for the Lego themed party. Lego crayons, soap, and each kid's initial!

Wait, I'm how old again?

Amelia was a bit disheveled after a long afternoon of partying.

Yum Yum!

Lily Babysits

Lily (and Matt and Laura) babysat Amelia while I worked on Monday. Here are a few pics they took. Apparently there was a teapot war.

How did she get so old?
