Amelia

Amelia turned 6! Two hands! Can't believe this long legged, happy, singing little girl is mine. She is so smart and creative. She loves to color and ride her bike. She is kind, generous and thinks of others. She is always ready to give a cuddle and tell you she loves you.
For her birthday she got to have a party at Umma and Uppa's this year. I asked what her favorite part was she said cake and the presents. I think her favorite present was her hatchimal from Umma and Uppa; boy did she do a happy dance when she opened the box.


The other thing Amelia got for her birthday was the mumps. Ya, the mumps! She woke up Sunday morning with a big swollen cheek crying it hurt so much. The night before I noticed her cheek was swollen when she complained it kinda hurt but I didn't think anything of it. Sunday morning though I took her to urgent care. The doctor came in, took one look at her and said it looks like mumps. I was like, what?! Apparently outbreaks were cropping up. So now she is in isolation for a week while she heals up. She doesn't feel too bad as long as we give her ibuprofen for the pain of her swollen glands. And in addition to the immunizations she will be immune. Here's hoping none of the rest of us get it.
