Just Another Day at the Park






















We've had several cool days this winter - perfect for playing at the park! Here are some shots from a few weeks ago at a park in nearby Winter Garden along a bike trail. We call it the "horsey park" because horses sometimes graze nearby. Amelia is growing up so much every day. She mostly speaks in sentences now saying things like "Mama, come play with me!" or "Da Da move out of the way please." It's so cute. The other day when we arrived at our music class Amelia said, "Miss Keri is so happy to see ME!" (Miss Keri is the teacher.)

And she's growing like a weed. At her 24-month doctor's appointment Friday, she weighed 31 pounds, 12 ounces and was 36 inches tall! (We think she was standing on her tiptoes for the height measurement.) The doctor was very impressed by Amelia's sentences. The best news of all: no more shots (except the flu shot) until she starts school!

Our dear Amelia Marie,

Happy, happy 2nd Birthday! We can't believe it has been two years since that unforgettable night you came into our lives. You are the joy of our lives - incredibly smart, funny, beautiful and kind. Your smile and laugh and yes, cries, are etched on our hearts, and can't imagine our lives without you.

We will love you forever,

Mama and Da-Da
