Amelia had fun walking around at the Dahlia Festival. She even left us in the dust.

Dahlias!

Today we went to the Dahlia Festival in Canby with MoMo. We had fun tip toeing through the dahlias. We even purchased a few tubers. Here are a few pictures of our romp in the flowers. Oh yea, we also saw the lady who did our flowers for our wedding. Her parents owned Swan Island Dahlias. Now her two brothers own the 40 acres of flower beds. Amazing!

Multnomah Falls

This past weekend we made our first trip to Multnomah Falls with Amelia. Here is the result:

Amelia & Grandpa


Mommy, Amelia and Daddy


Amelia and Multnomah Falls


Oooh and we're so excited... MoMo is coming tomorrow! Brad will be out of town and MoMo will watch Amelia while Mommy is at work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So exciting. Amelia can't wait.

Badminton

This was taken at the annual badminton tournament in July. Enjoy!

Everyone in the pool!

We finally got around to inflating Amelia's pool. She wasn't too certain about it... see for yourself.

And here's video of her.

The Beach!

It's been awhile since my last post, but we were at the beach. So without further ado...

And here's video of her playing in the water. A far cry from the last time she felt the Pacific Ocean (screaming bloody murder!)

Random

I don't know why, but I love this picture...



She's such a crack up.

An Independent Child

Amelia is now an independent little girl. Wednesday morning was her last meal on Mommy. Thursday morning, she refused to feed. So Amelia is officially weaned! Hip hip hooray. I am glad I made it to one year, 2 months and 5 days of breast feeding. It was a bitter sweet moment to see her go "No!" and then push me away. So now Amelia is all on big girl food. So liberating!

Helping pack

Just catching up on pictures & video.
This video was when we were packing to move out of the rental house. Amelia was helping me clear the kitchen cupboards. She was a great help!

Swimming video

As promised... here's Amelia's first dip in the pool. Again, thanks Becky for letting us cool off!

14 Months!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe Amelia is already 14 months old! Here is the latest picture by the bear. Enjoy!

On a separate note... below are some miscellaneous pictures of Amelia.

MoMo got her this cute little outfit - complete with a hat!




MoMo also got her a new pair of shoes. She's trying them out here.

Swimming

A few weeks ago, Amelia took her first real dip in the pool. We headed over to Becky's house and took a swim in the pool. Amelia wasn't really into it. I don't think she liked the water. Maybe it was too chilly or it was just the mere fact that this "bathtub" was huge. Enjoy!
