Two Years Old

Amelia celebrated her second birthday this weekend. Of course she had to test the cake first

Then Mom helped her blow out the candles.

Ooops, she at the whole thing.

Aunti Celia

Aunti Celia and Amelia kick back. Never mind that wine bottle in the picture.

Hippie Girl

Amelia enjoyed the Edmond farmers market this weekend. With her butterfly glasses and dress from Ecquador courtesy of Aunt Alee she looked great. 

Summer Time

Girl in the Bubble

Monkey

After Amelia has been swinging for a few minutes she starts saying monkey, monkey, monkey. Then we get her out of the swing and she comes over and grabs the bars and starts making monkey noises. She hasn't quite got the idea of swinging back and forth yet, and her legs are so long that she really can't.

Happy Mothers Day 2006

Amelia you are very lucky to have such a great Mom.

How is this for a flashback

Spring Day

Amelia and Rufus enjoy a great Spring day in their yard.

Higher

Amelia has a real dare devil streak. I think it comes from her Mom's love of roller coasters. She can't go high enough on the swing.

Chalking

Amelia got some sidewalk chalk from Auntie Celia. Now our patio is covered with my renditions of butterflies, bees and Doras.

Amelia got some new big girl glasses and she loves them.

Swinging

She was scared of swings a few months ago. Now she can't get enough. Again, Again, Again is her constant refrain when it comes to pushing.

Egg Hunt

Hunting eggs at TaTa's.


Here are her prize eggs. Papa gave her the Dora hat which she loves.

Happy Easter

Dora Live

Amelia and Bella went to Dora the Explorer Live recently. In this pic Amelia is mesmerized by the pre-show light effects. Both girls clutch their Dora pirate flags.

Here she is fixed on the stage. When the lights went down and the music came up she got a little scared but eventually she relaxed. After she saw The Map and Swiper she started to sing along.


For those venture capitalists out there looking for a good investment, Dora merchandise is it. Don't ask what we paid for this Dora light, she loved it so it was worth it.

New Friends on the Way!

Amelia is practicing to hold some of her new friends on the way. Steph (super blog commenter) and Nate are expecting a little person soon. Derek and Erica from that most fertile of towns Chicago are also expecting not one, not two but three little people soon. Amelia can't wait to meet her new pals. Congratulations everyone.

Carnivore

Amelia loves daddy's burgers. What's with her crazy look? Don't try and take her food.

Beauty

Sand in Mouth

Amelia discovers grit.

Amelia and Rufus

Amelia just loves her dog.

She looks quite happy for someone receiving a bite. Rufus is actually very gentle with her.

Haircut

A few posts ago we saw Amelia with quite a mullet. I mentioned that her hair would be changing soon. We took her to get her hair cut and it was a huge disaster. She was immediately set off by the hair dryers. And don't even think about getting scissors near her head. But after a few hours with TaTa she now sports this super cute dutch boy look.

Leprechaun Cookies

Our little leprechaun made cookies this weekend with her TaTa.




All she really wanted to do was eat the sprinkles.

Modern Dress

Back off daycare dandies in your pink lace and frills, Amelia is coming through in her sleek and modern sailor striped dress from Auntie Steph. Mom also prefers the sailor stripe look so we need to get some matching outfits.

March Madness

Sorry that the Sooners are now out of the tournament. Amelia still has March Madness. Here she dunks on her new goal given to her by Kim and Pat.


Long legs and quite a mullet. Check back soon for an update on her hair.

Christmas Hat

This is an old picture I forgot to post from Christmas. Derek and Erica gave her this great hat which she is obviously taken with.

Also, today is her PaPa's birthday so she wishes him a great day. Here is a classic picture of the 2 of them.

Alex Visits

Amelia's friend Alex and his little brother William came to visit this weekend. These two had a great time and wore each other out. Amelia slept great that night.

Slide

She does love this slide. It takes at least 15-20 trips up and down to wear me out - but not her.

More Park Pics

Amelia and Me at the park.

New Hood

Devoted AmeliaRose.blogspot viewers, here is the reason for our recent absence. Amelia and family just moved. We are all settled now and Amelia loves the playground just down the street from her house. We should be back on track now for regular posts.

New Tracksuit

Amelia sports her new "Berry Sweet" tracksuit

Belated Valentines

Amelia had a great time at her school Valentines day party. Here she is with her original valentine, Charlie.

We Are Back

AmeliaRose readers, I am sorry for the extended hiatus. It has been hard to keep up with the blog in the midst of our recent move. But we are reasonably settled in now so I do plan to continue the blog. I hope you are still interested.




Let's start things back up with miss mischief. Hope you aren't the cable guy coming to bury a line in our yard next week. Amelia has taken your safety into her own hands.


Flags are fun!

We Are Still Here

Sorry for the complete lack of posts for almost one month. We have been busy. But everything is fine. Amelia has been in good health and is growing like crazy. Hopefully someone is still checking this blog and we can start posting more pictures soon.

Santa Fe 2006

Amelia just returned from her annual Santa Fe trip to see Mike and Lynn Evans. See pictures from last year's trip here.


She had a wonderful time with Uncle Mike and was able to say his name in just a few hours. Auntie Lynn was her favorite peek-a-boo partner.

She made a new friend, Corbyn - great nephew of Mike and Lynn.

One of the few trips we took Amelia on was to Cerrillos, a ghost town on the Turquoise Trail. She enjoyed the petting zoo.

She also got some horseback riding practice in Cerrillos. We had a wonderful time, thanks Mike and Lynn.

Winter Nap

With all the excitement of Christmas Day, Amelia needed a nap.
