Such a great week!!!

We have had such a great week. It began on Sunday, the 20th, with Dad making pancakes! Amelia enjoyed her new seat at the bar watching him cook!!!!

Then Amelia took a ride in her excersaucer! She loves it! She has been working on moving the pieces. I cannot believe she is so smart!!!

Finally, on Saturday, we took our first trip to Baxley. It was time for Amelia to meet her great-grandmother Eloise. Amelia was a champ in the van... although the 3 & 1/2 hour trip took more time.... hours more!!! But, the visit was totally worth it! She was also able to meet her great-uncle Junior and uncle Vance.

Granny Eloise is not always present, but she immediately recognized me and Eric and was thrilled to meet Amelia. She kept commenting on how much hair she has! (If only she had seen her at her birth and before it all began to fall out!!) We'll have to go back soon as Amelia grows.

4 months old!!!

Happy Birthday, Amelia!!

Amelia is sick... suffering from her first cold. She has been stuffy for about 2 weeks, but developed a fever on Friday. Yet, she was still all smiles as we took her 4 month old picture!!

Baptism & Fireworks

We celebrated Amelia's 1st Fourth of July this weekend with friends and family!

Amelia met her Grandpa George for the first time this weekend. He drove up from Vero Beach, Florida just to see her!



Friday night, Eric entertained all of us by lighting fireworks in the cul-de-sac. Amelia slept through the whole thing!



The big finale of the weekend was Amelia's baptism on Sunday. It was very emotional for me and many of the other women who love Amelia! Amelia did great! She was such a good baby during the service and when the preacher took her into the congregation!





We were so honored to have so many loved ones with us for this special day. Here is Amelia with her Aunt Freak (Shanna), Donna, and Jessica. They drove up from Tallahassee, FL!

Aunt Christa was there.

Amy & Alex were there.

Amelia's good friend Jake Loggins was there too!

Of course, there was cake!!! Thanks to everyone who came. We love you all!
