7 Months Old!

I didn't think I would be the kind of person that would blog about things that most people don't care about, but alas, here I am, blogging about Amelia turning 7 months old. Seems a bit silly to be so excited about it, but I am! She feels like she has always been a part of my life and I love her to pieces! Her personality is definitely her Daddy. Always laughing, always joking, and just generally always happy! Glad she didn't get mine - this family can only handle one cynical pessimist! This past month has been so fun. She has taken a liking to her stroller and we go out somewhere everyday. And of course she needs her sunglasses! She is sitting up like a champ and loves to read her books. Rolling over is taking a while, mainly because of all the chub she has to umph over! But she is content enough to just sit and play with whoever happens to be holding her. My niece Sydney seems to be her favorite lately. And her favorite activity is drinking water...or should I say, blow bubbles in water. The video is hilarious. We sure love our little 7 month old!

3rd Anniversary

On Wednesday, Mark and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. Holy cow. Amelia and I surprised him downtown at his office with my gift to him. A framed family photo from our shoot with Natalie. He was really surprised and I wish I had pictures to prove it. Amelia looked darling and I didn't even snap one pic! So not like me. Anyway, it was his turn to plan the celebration, so he took us back to my favorite place on earth, the Grand America Hotel. I love the smell, I love the music, I love the decor, I love the atmosphere, I love the food, and I REALLY love the spa. He booked us massages and we were able to hang out at the pool, in the steam room, and took advantage of all the amenities inside the spa. It was SO relaxing. We then had dinner downstairs at the Garden Cafe, one of my favorite places to eat. It was fun to walk around the hotel and reminisce about the day we got married. We tried to get in the ballroom where the dinner and reception had been, but it was locked. So we wandered around the hotel and courtyard and it was just perfect. Thanks Honey for a perfectly perfect day!
