2010-12-30T08:15:00.000-08:00

Bodie Island Lighthouse, under renovation

Day 1 was spent flying to Raleigh, NC and then driving to Kitty Hawk, NC. We spent our first family vacation in the Outer Banks.

These pictures are from Day 2. We went to the Aqauarium, Bodie Island Lighthouse, and the beach of course. She had her first taste of some custard from Rita's. All in all it was an ok day.

Sept 18-22, 2010

These aren't incredibly flattering. This began our almost 2 months of ear infections. First it was upper respiratory, eye and ear infection...which is why her eye looks yucky in some of these. Then she had poor balance due to the ears and fell outside and scraped her head, so thats why she looks so pitiful in these pics. :(

My iPhone

2010-12-24T12:54:00.001-08:00

I finally found an app for my phone that works with blogger! Yay! Maybe I can finish some of my posts!

I'm horrible

2010-12-01T17:54:00.000-08:00

I'm a horrible blogger. Life has been BUSY lately. I've still been taking pictures, just not had any time to post them. Maybe I'll catch up soon...hopefully. I'd really like to finish this out....

Day 255

2010-09-12T19:17:00.000-07:00

Day 254

2010-09-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

These pictures crack me up!! She was being extra goofy after bath tonight!

Day 253

2010-09-10T19:08:00.000-07:00

Day 252

2010-09-09T19:03:00.000-07:00

Random things I love: My Croc work shoes. They are very comfortable. At the end of a long day, my feet hurt because its been a long day, not because I have crappy shoes. The snack cup that Amelia can hold onto and I know she won't spill her cookies or whatever all over the place. And my lens mug. I haven't used it yet, but I like it. :)

Day 251

2010-09-08T19:01:00.000-07:00

This thing has been one of the most useful presents I've gotten. I got this for Christmas last year and tonight it came in very handy. We got home and there was a smell in the house. I couldn't pinpoint what it was, so we were both looking around. Then I see it...Lilly had an accident in her crate. The accident actually left the crate and was on the wall by her crate!! She never has an accident in there so I know she didn't feel good. This made the house smell great and didn't just cover up the odor. Love it!

Day 250

2010-09-07T18:55:00.000-07:00

This is Amelia's little backpack that also has a handle and wheels. Its cute and we couldn't pass it up. Hopefully she can use it when shes older.

Day 249

2010-09-06T18:46:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what she is doing in the last picture. I caught her doing it and thought it was funny. She wasn't directing it at anything, just looking at the ground. :)

Day 248

2010-09-05T18:39:00.000-07:00

It was nice out today so we decided to make a trip to the zoo.

Day 247

2010-09-04T19:17:00.000-07:00

yummy cookies I made

Day 246

Day 245

2010-09-02T19:10:00.000-07:00

I feel like I'm having focus issues lately. I dont know if its me, the camera, subject, etc.

Day 244

2010-09-01T19:01:00.000-07:00

Horrible picture, I know. Anytime you walk into the kitchen and make some noise or open something, this is what you have to look forward too. :)

Day 243

2010-08-31T18:51:00.000-07:00

Day 242

2010-08-30T18:41:00.000-07:00

Day 241

2010-08-29T18:37:00.000-07:00

Whenever one of her crocs come off, she insists on carrying it around. :)

Day 240

2010-08-28T18:29:00.000-07:00

Saw this moth hanging out on the side of the house. I have no idea what kind it is.

Day 239

2010-08-27T18:13:00.000-07:00

Tonight was the Kris Allen, Maroon 5 concert!! We were on the 7th row! Sorry they're out of order!

Day 238

2010-08-26T18:01:00.000-07:00

I had to work late so my husband took this picture. Sam begs for food while Amelia eats.

Day 237

2010-08-25T17:57:00.000-07:00

No really good pictures today. She was running and it was hard to get a good one in focus.

Day 236

2010-08-24T18:21:00.000-07:00

Day 235

2010-08-23T18:11:00.000-07:00

Day 234

2010-08-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

First one is foggy because of going from my lovely air conditioned home to very very hot outside. She is in love with her crocs. If one comes off, instead of letting us put it back on, she'll just carry it around. :)

Day 233

2010-08-21T08:38:00.000-07:00

Day 232

2010-08-20T08:22:00.000-07:00

I stayed home with Amelia today. She was feeling some better, but still not eating well and I figured daycare would send her home because of diarrhea. She finally ate tonight!

Day 231

2010-08-19T08:17:00.000-07:00

Today was my husbands birthday. He stayed home with Amelia, while I went to work. I was going to bake him a cake and never got too. :(

Day 230

2010-08-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure how the bow ended up in her hair that way, but its cute. :)

Day 229

2010-08-17T08:08:00.000-07:00

Not a great picture, but this was the beginning of her not feeling well. Between teething, her 1 year shots and I think she had a stomach virus, it was a long week.

Day 228

2010-08-16T07:55:00.000-07:00

Back to our regularly scheduled programming...pictures of amelia. LOL!

Day 227

2010-08-15T07:51:00.000-07:00

Today, we are coming home. So again these pics are from the plane ride and then from eating at Joe's Crab Shack when we got back. Crappy pics, but I was moving quickly through the air in a plane...can't help it. :)

Day 226

2010-08-14T07:47:00.000-07:00

I was in class all day, so these pictures are from our supper at Tin Lizzy's. It was really good!!

Day 225

2010-08-13T18:32:00.000-07:00

I went out of town this weekend with my husband for a class for work. These pics were taken from our airplane window on the way to Atlanta.

Day 224

2010-08-12T18:29:00.000-07:00

Day 223

2010-08-11T18:26:00.000-07:00

Day 222

2010-08-10T18:23:00.000-07:00

She does wear clothes, I promise!! Its just really hot and by the time we get to go outside its right before bath...so why put on clothes? :)

Day 221

2010-08-09T18:21:00.000-07:00

We finally got to take her 12 month picture. Last one with the stickers. :(

Day 220

2010-08-08T18:24:00.000-07:00

We played a little in the park again before it got freakishly hot. I'm so ready for some cooler temps!!

Day 219

2010-08-07T18:21:00.000-07:00

We tried to get her 1 year pictures made today. Total FAIL! She woke up not too happy from her nap and I dont think she was feeling well either. So, I snapped this quick pic of her in her dress from us trying.

Day 218

2010-08-06T18:19:00.000-07:00

Day 217

2010-08-05T18:03:00.000-07:00

Happy First Birthday Amelia!!

Sorry these are out of order. We went to a Children's Museum for her birthday and just let her explore.

Here she is opening her present. Its a rocking elephant. It also plays songs, has crinkly ears, the nose squeaks. Shes still a little unsure about it but seems to not hate it.

Day 216

2010-08-04T17:56:00.000-07:00

New toys and what does she play with....a box. :)

Day 215

2010-08-03T17:50:00.000-07:00

Today was my birthday. I did nothing exciting. Got up early, went to work, came home. I only had time to snap a picture before Amelia went to bed. We've cut out pretty much all bottles but the one right before bed. She takes no bottles at daycare, just sippies of milk. I'm cool with keeping the bedtime one for now...

Day 214

2010-08-02T17:44:00.000-07:00

Here she is enjoying what seem to be her two favorite toys at the moment.

Day 213

2010-08-01T17:32:00.000-07:00

We went and played at a local park today. She loved it!! The first picture of her sitting in our backyard, I love! Minus the gutter, but when I crop it, I dont like it. So I suppose it will stay...

Day 212

2010-07-31T17:14:00.000-07:00

These are all from her 1st Birthday Party!! I tried to make everything myself or something like that. I had help from a friend baking all the cupcakes and giant cupcakes. I made the toppers out of gumpaste. All in all it was a good day, better if Amelia had napped before hand, but it was worked out alright. These are all the photos I took, but you can see more here. I had a photographer friend come and am so glad I did!!

Day 211

2010-07-30T17:10:00.000-07:00

This pic is kinda blurry, I realize that. I was trying to get a pic of her walking around with a wrapping paper tube, but she would not be still. This is the best one I got.

Day 210

2010-07-29T17:04:00.000-07:00

Busy day of doing stuff before her birthday party, not much time to snap a photo...much less a good one.

Days 199-209

2010-07-28T17:36:00.000-07:00

Since I'm behind, I just lumped all these together. Hope you don't mind!! And yes they're out of order, its annoying but I dont have the patience to fix tonight.

Day 198

Day 194

2010-07-14T17:51:00.000-07:00

She learned how to get in the dog crate today!!

Day 187

2010-07-07T19:14:00.000-07:00

Day 186

2010-07-06T19:10:00.000-07:00

Tonight when I was cutting up her food, she really wanted to use the fork. So I got her the baby utensils and she tried to use them. She's not that great, but her interest in them was exciting! She doesn't like to be shown what to do though. We have a little fit when that happens, so for now, she can do what she wants with them.

Day 185

2010-07-05T18:52:00.000-07:00

We both had the day off today! YAY! So I made a practice giant cupcake for Amelia's first birthday party. I made the cupcake liner from candy melts using the instructions found here. It was super easy! By the way, I wish blogger didn't post the pics all out of order. Anyway, today was also her 11 month birthday. So we took those pictures, but she wasn't in the greatest mood. A few turned out ok. Just because I can, I added a pic of her unhappiness. lol

Day 184

2010-07-04T18:46:00.000-07:00

She had just woken up from her nap before I took these pictures. Also, I bought this onesie a while ago and it just barely fit! The sleeves are supposed to look like that though. I think they're too short, looks like it should just be sleeveless.

Day 183

2010-07-03T19:09:00.000-07:00

Day 182

2010-07-02T19:06:00.000-07:00

Sam stands around and waits for Amelia to drop food when shes eating. She's finally decided that its her food and she's not going to share, but we have to watch her or she just sweeps it all off for him.

Day 181

2010-07-01T19:04:00.000-07:00

I tried to do some cute pics today in the yard but my camera died after about the 10th picture. She wasn't really into it for any of them, so this is the best I've got.

Day 180

2010-06-30T18:55:00.000-07:00

Day 179

2010-06-29T19:01:00.000-07:00

It was an early morning today for me. The sunrise this morning was gorgeous!! I wish I had had more than my phone to take pics. This one certianly does not do it justice. Still working on more than just her eating pictures. :)

Day 178

2010-06-28T18:54:00.000-07:00

Amelia's taken a few steps here and there. Over this past weekend, she started doing 5 or 6 at a time. Tonight, she basically walked across the living room. Granted is was wobbly and all but she did really great!! You'll notice in some she is walking around holding my iPhone and seeing whats on TV at the same time. Its really hard to photograph a moving baby and get a good shot!! Helps when I have on a the right lens too!

Day 177

2010-06-27T18:52:00.000-07:00

So all the pictures lately are of Amelia eating or bathing...I apoligize. Its been a little hectic lately, so sometimes these are the only times I have to take a photo. I'll try to do better.

Day 176

2010-06-26T18:50:00.000-07:00

She's learned how to take her clothes off. Right before I snapped this picture she had it half way off and on her head. It was really funny, as you can tell by Ben's face, but she moved her shirt right before I took the picture.

Day 175

2010-06-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

Its a blah picture. It had been a long day and this was the only moment I got the camera out and she was more interested in the faucet than looking at the camera.

Day 174

2010-06-24T18:19:00.000-07:00

I was out of town for work this day, so these were taken by my husband.

Day 173

2010-06-23T18:08:00.000-07:00

I wish I didn't have the shadows on the first one, oh well.

Day 172

2010-06-22T18:04:00.000-07:00

She really enjoyed her blueberries tonight!!

Day 171

2010-06-21T17:57:00.000-07:00

This are out of order...sorry!

Day 170

2010-06-20T17:55:00.000-07:00

We finally got rid of her little whale tub, this was her first night in the big bath tub. She likes it!!

Day 169

2010-06-19T14:58:00.000-07:00

Day 168

2010-06-18T14:44:00.000-07:00

Fuzzy iphone picture, but its all I have. They fixed her hair at daycare...lol

Day 167

2010-06-17T14:38:00.000-07:00

Day 166

2010-06-16T13:23:00.000-07:00

Day 165

2010-06-15T13:21:00.000-07:00

Her face isn't perfectly in focus but I like the look shes giving.

Day 164

2010-06-14T13:17:00.000-07:00

She tried blueberries tonight. Obviously, they were a little messy.

Day 163

2010-06-13T13:14:00.000-07:00

Day 162

2010-06-12T13:10:00.000-07:00

Tonight, Lindsey and I went to see Jewel in concert. It was a GREAT show!!

Day 161

2010-06-11T12:59:00.000-07:00

She had some crazy hair that morning when she got up.

Day 160

2010-06-10T12:56:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what this face was about, but I thought it was cute. :)

Day 159

2010-06-09T12:53:00.000-07:00

Day 158

2010-06-08T12:46:00.000-07:00

Day 157

2010-06-07T12:45:00.000-07:00

We spent most of the night in the doctors office. She had to get a shot. Another ear infection. :(

Day 156

2010-06-06T12:43:00.000-07:00

Day 155

2010-06-05T12:41:00.000-07:00

I was gone to a work meeting this day. She had to have a bath first thing because she threw up sometime during the night. :(
