A Second Birthday,
Amelia started off her special day by making cupcakes with Papa and JuJu.
Had JuJu gotten involved in the kitchen earlier I have a feeling that Amelia wouldn't have eaten her weight in raw batter. After feasting on raw eggs she went for a spin around the yard with dad and Poppy. After her exciting day of raw food and being tossed around I got my special time with her when she came to find me just in time to get sick all over the carpet...Sunshine Therapy (even if it was the coldest T-Day in Phoenix in 80 years),
This is proof of the spin Amelia took around the yard after filling up on raw eggs.
It is SO easy to waste away a good part of the day while enjoying my dad's yard and the Phoenix sun. As JuJu and Poppy drove in from Palm Desert the sunshine is old news to them.

Oh, Amelia was such a happy, 
happy,
happy girl feeling the sun on her face. Poor think had no idea she was going to have to go back to Chicago to face the Chicago winter.

We enjoyed family outing to the Phoenix zoo. Amelia was pretty upset that she couldn't see the gorillas as the exhibit was closed. We told her they weren't home as they were on vacation just like she was. After that she seemed okay.
Amelia loves to answer the question, "what does mama do when she goes to work?" To which she replies, "Mama architect, Mama work in high building, Papa architect." Amelia got to show off her design and building skills while building a gingerbread house with Papa.

Are we going to have three generations of architects? It would beat three generations of attorneys, right?
Two of her favorites; bubbles and Auntie M.

She so wasn't into the goats at the petting zoo but Auntie M on the other hand could have stayed all day.
Proof that I'm not depriving the baby of yummy and ample food.
This would be Amelia wearing make-up thanks to Auntie M. Sorry to my make-up savvy friends for Amelia's rather sloppy introduction to make-up. She will probably need your help one day.

She was not happy when Papa went to take a shower one morning thus stood outside banging on the door. We realized when we couldn't see her anymore and could hear her giggles that she must have gotten into the bathroom. She couldn't have been happier splashing around in Papa's shower. And no, Papa was not in the shower and was fully clothed when we all went in to smile at Amelia.
How about when Amelia woke up and heaven forbid there weren't any bananas? Well she demanded, "Papa store bananas." It only took about 5 seconds before Papa was up, shoes on, keys in hand ready to take her highness to the store. She arrived back with an enormous smile on her face and an equally enormous M&M cookie. Breakfast of champions.
Amelia has to share the birthday month of November with Auntie M. Seriously remind my dad not to buy Merrill a camera again for her birthday. She CONSTANTLY felt the need to take pictures of EVERYTHING; Mark and I sitting on the couch, tigers at the zoo, her slippers, dad's living room, etc. Finally her camera got turned on her!

Well I think the turkey was good but then again I'm not much a turkey fan to begin with. We grilled the turkey and the meat was great but the skin got a little chared and the drippings were ruined. Don't bring the subject up to Merrill for a few more years as she is still very upset about the lack of gravy......
