Today was Amelia's birthday! Although her party will be Sunday, we did honor the little lady today in a few small ways. She brought muffins to school for her classmates, wore a big birthday princess hat, opened one gift and played in another gift, and danced as she was serenaded with the traditional birthday song.
First, a picture from one year ago today, when Amelia came on her own terms, three weeks before her due date and two weeks before the scheduled c-section. She came out squealing (a trait she continues to exhibit when things are not going her way) with red hair that was--and is--the talk of the town.
Then, a picture from her last night as an 11-month-old, reading her favorite bird board book.
Opening a gift (stacking blocks, which were not as fun as the wrapping paper). Playing in the new flower tent (also not as much fun as the wrapping paper).
And finally, muffins with her peeps--in the big princess hat.
Amelia has acquired various nicknames in her first year--Squealy Dan, Munchy, Luv Munch, Meemers, Mimi, Squatter McGee (!?), Moo-Moo, Stinkpot, Amelia-Bedelia, Squirrel, Speed Racer. She has developed a sweet (and strong-willed!) personality, gives out smiles freely, laughs the sweetest belly laugh and learns quickly. She snuggles like a champ, eats like a pig and dances like it's goin' out of style. Wouldn't trade her for a million bucks.
Happy First Birthday, Amelia!
