Amelia's 3

Amelia had a birthday. She is 3. She has been sick off and on for the last 2 weeks, so it very low key. She did receive more stuff than I think she did for Christmas, thank you everyone who sent her something. She has had so much fun with all her new stuff and keeps reminding Ben that, "that was for my birthday". She is very in to recognizing things that match and is so happy to show us "they are the same" so I decided to make her a cake like one of her favorite purses. Not one of my best works, but it was fun and delicious.

I also made a blanket for her new doll and the baby's bassinet to match her bedspread. She wasn't as impressed by that as I hoped. I did find the most perfect doll for her and she has not yet appreciated it's full glory, so sometimes I have to hold it and make a big deal about what an awesome doll she got. Philip thinks that I should have gotten one for myself since I love it so much. Maybe next time I will. I am totally living vicariously through her and her doll stuff. I loved dolls growing up and played with all my cribs and highchairs and clothes for my dolls for hours, so it makes me giggle to see Amelia have them too.


I don't know why she is pretending to pout while we are singing, but you can see her little grin.
