Amelia in 2011

Ok, the first two were technically in 2010 at Christmas, but i think they're so cute I wanted to post them again.

 

Amelia having tea with Boo Boo Bear in Florida.

 

The birthday girl! Right before she twirled herself right off the couch.

 

With Daddy at her birthday party.

 

With her cousin Erik hunting for Easter eggs. Rosie the dog is waiting to eat all the jelly beans they spilled in the yard. I realized over Christmas that I will feel like I've been in DC forever when Rosie passes away. Elin and Mike got her as a puppy just as I started college.

Feeding herself lunch.

Smiling for the camera.

 

Waving to Daddy while he was on a business trip.

Please let Teddy and I out to play in the front yard.

Hi, have I mentioned that I love the beach?

 

With Daddy at Salt Pond Beach

 

With family at Bunny and Pete's "Engagement" Party.

Totally exhausted after all the fun in Hawaii and California.

 

Reunited with her best friend.

Pretending to be Abby Caddaby.

Twirling in the park.

  
Swinging at the local park.

Sleepover with Teddy.

 Curling up on the chair. She has taken to sleeping there occasionally. For the record she likes the picture Bible because of all the bright pictures.

 Clapping for herself.

 Ready for the cold.

I can't believe how much she's grown in the past year. She already thinks she's two (when asked her age she will answer two because she wants to be in the older classroom at school.) I mean look and listen to our little girl. She's definitely not a baby anymore. Happy 2012!
