Okay- these are a little late and I haven't posted in awhile but things have just been really busy!! Amelia isn't walking yet but she is like a little tornado that I follow around the house all day. Her favorite things to play with currently are not her toys at all but Tupperware, pots/pans, cabinets (opening and shutting, repeat), mommy's make-up bag, laundry, you get the picture.

Anyway- here are some pictures from her big day. She was a champion that day and seemed to know that the day was all about her. She woke up at 6:15 AM and did not go back to sleep but luckily, she did nap before the big party. It was mainly family at the party and some of her little friends that she plays with.

The day was a lot of fun and she was really into opening her presents and being social with everyone. The little hiccup in the day was that we found out Amelia hates birthday cake. We put some blueberries on her highchair tray which she ate happily and then she cried when the cake came. We had a brilliant idea to put blueberries on the cake which she ate off of the cake and then cried. It was quite funny really!!

We did her birthday on March 6th and her church dedication on March 7th which was her actual birthday. Hopefully, I will get the dedication pictures posted next!
