368.4 Days of Amelia!

Can you believe our sweet little girl is a year old? Doesn’t it seem like last week that Grandma Kim, Grandpa Sean, Uncles Eddy, Jeff, Ryan, Paul, Richard and Aunties Robin, May, and Rathana were all spending Thanksgiving eve in St. Vincent's waiting room until 4am (Thanksgiving morning) awaiting Amelia’s arrival?

Before we talk about November and Amelia’s birthday party, lets talk about October and Halloween. Amelia was the sweetest Tinkerbell the world has ever known! Thea and I took her to Cedar Hills Mall for some trick or treat action. Amelia had no concept of Halloween or candy; however, she did love all the kids dressed up as animals. Her eyes got as big as her cheeks when saw a little boy in a cow costume. Amelia pointed and took off running towards him, when she reached the little boy she had not idea what to make of him. All she could do was smile and laugh.

November update!!! This month has been amazing. Amelia’s little personality is certainly developing. We taught her to make a monster face, which she makes while wrestling with daddy. J Amelia has also learned the meaning of the word "NO". Maybe that's because daddy uses it a lot. When she doesn’t want to be picked up or give something up to daddy, she’ll shake her head and say "No, no, no" and mean it. Amelia loves books, she’ll point to one and say "BOO BOO," when she wants Thea or me to read to her. Two weeks ago Amelia would show where her ears, hair, toes, belly and other parts when you asked. But now, she will only respond when she feels like it. It's the cutest thing when we would ask “Amelia, how old are you?” and she would smile and show you one finger.

Thea bought an igloo tent from IKEA that Amelia loves. The first night Amelia decided her favorite toys and stuffed animals belonged in her tent with her. Amelia’s face is all smiles when she’s playing and wrestling with daddy, piggy or giant bear (courtesy of Uncle Ryan) in her tent.

Thea did an amazing job decorating the house and cooking until 3am to make Amelia’s first birthday one to remember! Amelia had a great time playing and seeing here huge loving family! Even after an hour nap (in her tent) during the party, that night she slept for almost 11 hours. Thanks to all our friends and family for sharing her special day! Enjoy the Halloween and birthday pictures below!
