Thanksgiving weekend

Amelia is always saying I love you. She talks on the phone & says....go have coffee! She even can count to ten with a little assistance. She says Bless You if you sneeze. Her favorite CD is Jack Johnson & if you get in the car without it, it is a miserable car ride. It seems like everyday she is doing something new & exciting....she is so smart (of course) & so much fun! She is definitely a daredevil & we will definitely have our hands full with her!!


Amelia pretending to like my Thanksgiving dinner.....our first vegetarian Thanksgiving!




Amelia talking to Abby on the phone telling her how much she loves her boots she's letting her borrow & of course has to wear them around the house at all times even though they're too big & is tripping every couple steps!.....and wearing daddy's hat of course!



Amelia recently got elmo soap so now she has to wash her hands every half hour or so.....very hygienic! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!


She even pretends to wipe as you can see by the evidence on the floor



Amelia is going thru the "poopy" stage. Everything begins & ends with poopy & insists on sitting on the potty but prefers doing it with her clothes on....it's a start!


Finally got a pose with mommy


You pull out a camera & this is what happens....she immediately strikes a pose & says cheese!


She only broke one bulb in the process......so far!

Amelia's new favorite pasttime

Arent' they cute??!!

She thinks using daddy's drafting table is so much fun


Always insists on wearing daddy's hat!



Daddy made Amelia chalkboards on the wall so drawing/coloring has become her favorite pasttime & making a mess while she's doing it.....thanks daddy!



Amelia & her buddy Cameron & his grandparents went to the parade of lights downtown Fargo & had a lot of fun....nobody would stay in their stroller of course!!

18 MONTHS!

Amelia had her 18 month check up this week & is doing great! She's a little peanut according to her doctor - only 22 lbs. 13 oz., 31 in. long so is in the 25% for both. He said she's going to take after her mommy!! He said he has a strong fighter every week & she was the one for the week.....we're so proud!


My 1st shiner....I slipped & ran into mommy & daddy's bed.


I love wearing hats, especially daddy's!



Close up of my shiner!!

Going on a shopping trip around the house with my new purse from Auntie Amy

Any chance to strike a pose & say cheese!






Cousins Weekend

We had Ayden & Abby for the weekend....we had our hands full with all 3 & I ran a restaurant while they were here! We took a trip to the mall, had lunch, boys went to Madagascar 2 while girls napped, we even ventured to church......we made it but I was sweating the whole time! Saturday night we got a movie, ice cream & had a campout in our living room.....the kids loved it!!




Ayden was so amazed & couldn't believe all of the things that uncle Chris drew so he wanted in on some of the action......they drew a train!





The girls were either talking on their phones or taking their babies for walks around the house in their strollers (or fighting about wanting the other ones stroller)!








Here's our campout in the living room - it was about 10:00 & still awake!!!!






They love being naked!!
