Amelie and the Funky Bunch*

So Amelie is already almost 11 and a half months!  Man alive, where did that time go?!  My friends always ask me what I do with Amelie during the week.  When I'm not running around after her at home and working my part-time job while she naps, we try to go out and meet her friends so she can practice being around other lil' people like herself.  I just cannot get enough of watching the little tikes interact with each other.  Put one cute little person with another cute little person and you just melt and ooze onto the floor because they are so funny and so darn adorable.  So without further adieu, say hello to Amelie's funky bunch crew.

This is a classic shot of big sis Amelie at 5 months old welcoming her new friend, Cana into the world.  They're going to go on missions trips together and share the Gospel.

This is at 6 months old on their first playdate probably wondering a lot of different things...

This is her friend Lexi.  They will probably play doubles tennis together like me and her mom did.

This is the first time Nora came over and hung out when they were 7 months old.  They're only 5 days apart and they're going to play sports together.

This is big bro Lincoln who is expecting a baby sister soon.

This is Daniel who is a couple months younger than Amelie and the only baby lad at church among 3 other baby chicks.  What a lucky lad!

This is her church bud, Soleil, a fashionista.

Here is our absolute best attempt to get a group photo during this playdate.

Here is Amelie trying to get her big bro friend, Maxx's, attention who loves the movie 'Up'.

Amelie got to welcome his new sister, Ellie, into the world.  She loves to smile.

This is Aunt Soo and another new friend, Elias, who Amelie got to welcome into the world.  They will make beautiful music together when they get older. 

Fresh from a recent playdate and looking much older now are buds, Nora and Cana.  Nora can already wobble walk.

To get this rare photo of them together, it took lots of strange sounds, snacks and one heckuva strong grip*

I leave you with some cute little videos of all of them "playing" together.  Notice how they all just kinda do their own thing.
