Air and Space Museum and Children's Museum with Cousins

One Year

Amelia is one.  That is just insane.  This has by far been the best year of my life and the hardest, but that makes it the best right? Swings both ways.  I'm bias but she really is crazy funny and a really content little girl.

At one she:

Loves food, obviously, hamburger being a pretty consistent love
Talks most of the day but does not associate any sounds with specific things
Loves to sit on the fireplace and read books by herself
Laughs at her own jokes
Loves to be scared...a lot
Computers are the greatest thing in the world to her
Is starting to throw some legit fits
Sleeps a full 12 hours through the night, HALLELUJAH!
Chats it up with the birds often

I really could go on and on but she is a very happy, content, easy natured child that I think is pretty much the coolest person I know.

Prepare yourself for picture overload

Amelia

It's just insane that Amelia is almost one.  I can't get over it.  We love you so much. 

Halloween

We FINALLY dressed up for Halloween.  I've always been more into planning what we would wear then actually wearing it, so by the time the holiday arrives we just sit around.  But this year I was insistent since we have an awesome prop that is Amelia.  It took awhile and some convincing but we were Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and a Mandrake plant for our ward party.  And on the actual day and at a few other places Amelia was an adorable strawberry.  In the end we enjoyed two ward parties, a pumpkin patch, free Jamba Juice and three dollar burritos at Chipotle.

 Oh Man...this is my favorite photo.  The poof in the costume looks like her own rolls haha. 

We went to the Roloff farms which is owned by the family in the reality T.V show Little People Big World.  We saw the mom but I was too scared to talk to her and she was kinda bossy 

 Making friends

She laughed every time she touched the lamb

Amelia would love it if I let her ride like this every time

7 months

I have not posted something in a looong time.  And this is going to be short with a lot of photos (as usual).  But I have so many awesome photos of Amelia and she is 7 months now so I need to share them.  I love this first photo because she looks sooo annoyed! I have a feeling I might get this look a lot in her life time.  

Tricks

We learned a new trick but sometimes laundry is so much cooler 

Amelia Lucille

We blessed Amelia on Sunday in Boise.  She was really shy around the large family crowds but we did get some pretty great smiles out of her.  She apparently accepts her name. We saw my parents and Jared's family and Amelia didn't cry at all on the way home (definitely was not the case on the way there).  I can truly say it was one of my favorite weekends ever.  There is something about having a baby girl that feels so normal now.

And a great big thanks to Jared's dad who will always be there to take amazing photos 

of Amelia's priceless faces.
