Nine years ago, at the very considerate time of 1:44 in the afternoon, Amelia was born.
7.6 lbs and 18 in long.
She quickly developed a taste for fashion, and silly faces.
Which has continued til this day:
For Amelia's 9th Birthday she wanted a "Rockstar" birthday - with Kareoke & Just Dance
Even the grownups couldn't resist the fun.
And a hair & accessory table is probably a necessity at all future parties:
Amelia - at nine you've developed so much more confidence this year. You're doing your first local theatre play of Tom Sawyer, and making new friends, asking lots of questions, and trying out new things. This year you [SPOILER ALERT] learned the tough truth about Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and your elf on the shelf, Pixie. As you put it it was "all too much and all too soon." I could not have agreed more.
But, this year you asked to try softball for the first time, you've asked for golf clubs and you've also asked a lot of awkward questions for your mom that has involved a lot of late night discussions about growing up and changes... You're not satisfied with my attempts to change the subject.
You're so funny and quick - you stand up for yourself in situations where I never thought you could and I couldn't be prouder. You have strong opinions on what you're going to wear at all times and have very specific tastes. You are the best big sister, the boys love their Ya-ya.
xoxo - I love you too.
