Weekend Fun

There was lots of fun this weekend!

On Saturday, we went to the OSU football spring game. I found a mini jersey on Craigslist the day before, and it was perfect for Amelia! She is a fan of this Brutus:

But she did NOT like the buckeye beads around her neck (apparently so heavy that they rendered her unable to close her mouth).

Ready to fight any Michigan fans!

Having fun with Daddy!

She had a great time at the game, with her friend Joey, Joey's parents, and Michelle and Kevin.

After, we went to Crew stadium to tailgate before the game there. But, alas, Amelia had to get home, so she and I left the party to go to bed.

This morning, we had Jenni http://jclphotography.blogspot.com/ come to our house to take Amelia's 1st birthday pictures. Jenni's husband, Jeff, tagged along to be her assistant/Amelia's entertainment/cat wrangler.

The pictures went GREAT! We took some inside and outside (in front of our neighbors' gorgeous tulips). Some of just Amelia and some of the family (Penny and Bella even got in a few!).

Here's a hint of how it ended.... [these were taken by me on my camera]

She didn't quite get into the cake smashing like she was supposed to. She kept sticking one finger in the frosting and just licking it, over and over. Finally, we smashed both hands into the cake for her. But then she just licked her hands.... oh well.

But it got quite entertaining towards the end when she wanted to crawl, play with the balloon, and yes.... sit on the cake. Mom did NOT steal the leftovers!

That's the poor cake under her bottom.
