At 1 year of age, Amelia is still a big-time cuddler. Gets frustrated very easily. Is well-known for her choking incidents. Is a wonderful eater and sleeper. She went to bed last night at 7, as usual, and I had to wake *her* up this morning at 9:00. And I thought Claudia was a great sleeper! Amelia and Claudia are starting to actually play together now. In the past if Claudia took a toy from Amelia or offended her in some way, Amelia would just dissolve into tears and come searching for me to defend her. But now she's starting to defend herself and not take Claudia's crap. She fights for herself and tries to stand her little ground.

The latest addition to the swingset which Amelia LOVES.
Snoozin on our trip to Michigan to see Grandma Kemp
Up for a quick snack
Then back to sleep
All we get out of Claudia on a trip is drowsy
An immediate tea party as soon as we arrived
A HUGE picture considering Amelia allows NO ONE to hold her but me or Ed.
Out to see the horses
Feeding the horses
Claudia and poor Aunt Terri. I think Claudia has Aunt Terri washing already clean dishes here. She ran that woman ragged.
And last, but not least, this is what Amelia started doing today! She started taking up to 6 steps this morning at our playdate, and this evening she decided to take a stroll across the kitchen!!!
