Happy Birthday, Amelia Mae

I can't believe she's already one year old.

Amelia's favorite things:

• bathtime
• being outside
• playing pat-a-cake (her little finger is the cutest when she 'marks it with a B')
• her Fisher Price piano - she loves sitting on the seat and dancing to the music
• her pink blankie with satin edges
• Claire and Owen
• when Daddy comes home from work (she holds her arms out to him and grunts until he comes over and gives her a hug)
• Gerber Graduates fruit snacks

Amelia's stats (just for the record):

• 15 lbs. 14 oz.
• 3 teeth; two on the top, one on the bottom (we were worried that she was going to be 'Hagdalena Magdalena' for the rest of her life (are you familiar with the song?) "She had two teeth in her mouth, one pointed north and the other pointed south". Fortunately, another broke through earlier this week.
• crawling, but has taken a few steps
• first word: ow! - she says this anytime anything (even remotely) hurts.
• nicknames: miss Mae, Mia (Owen calls her this. I think he thinks he is saying 'Amelia' but doesn't quite get the 'L' sound in there), Amelia Bedelia (Dave calls her this all the time and sometimes even shortens it to just 'Bedelia')

Happy Birthday, Amelia. We love you.
