Yay for cupcakes!


Amelia got a new kitty for her birthday! It's a fur real kitty - that's the closest to a real kitty she's going to get for some time after our Pedro experience. This one doesn't attack viciously with no known reason, though it does hiss if you pull it's tail! At the end of the video when Amelia says, "see Amelia!" over and over, it's because she noticed the camera and wants to see herself in it. Watching herself in videos is her favorite pass time!

Boo at the Zoo

The St. Louis Zoo has an event each year the Saturday before Halloween for kids to come in their costumes and trick or treat at the zoo. We had a blast!

The baby tigers! There are 5 at the zoo right now. I could watch them for hours!

Amelia loves riding on Jason's shoulders

Riding on the train. Don't let her face fool you, Amelia loves the train!

Walking confidently as her dinosaur self

Apple Picking at Eckert's

Aren't we cute =) Amelia couldn't take the apple away from her mouth for a minute. They're her favorite fruit.

Amelia got to ride a pony for the first time. She wasn't scared at all!

Yee-Ha!

So much to catch up on!

Cleaning out our pumpkin for carving. Amelia had to warm up to the idea of having gloppy pumpkin insides in her hands, but I think she liked it the more she did it!

Love those wagon rides

So Big! She can ride on the swing all by herself and is quite proud of it. There were 4 swings in a line and she had to try every single one!

Posing with the giant pumpkins. I think orange is a good color for her!

Going to places like the pumpkin patch, apple picking, and trick or treating are so much fun for us - we get to be kids all over again, and there's nothing better than seeing her experiencing these simple joys for the first time. Love it!

Amelia trick or treats!

For all who still check this site, I'm sorry it's been so incredibly long since we've updated the blog. Yesterday was Amelia's 2nd birthday! We'll have many more updates coming in the next couple of days, I promise!
