Pictures from Emily's Birthday

Some pictures from Emily's party:

Emily is a year old, picture count down

My little girl is a whole year old now!! This past year has just flown by I can't hardly stand it. A few of my favorite memories of Emily:
The day she was born, she cried for just a second then calmed down and was just looking around everywhere for hours... we started getting nervous that she would never sleep.
The first few weeks her cry sounded like a kittens mew.
I remember spending time just rocking and enjoying her.
The open house we had at my parents house, seeing her with my great grandma and grandma.
Watching Kaylee and Nathan play with her.
Her first Christmas, her in her bouncy chair with her Santa hat on while we decorated the tree, she kept making silly faces.
Seeing her smile at me when I talked to her.
Watching her learn to roll, crawl then walk.
Emily being silly when crawling, crawling around with toys in her mouth like a puppy.
Emily at Great Wolf, loving the water
Emily making noises on anything she could get her hands on, running her hand on the cover of a book just to make it squeak.
Emily grabbing her sisters hair whenever she could.
Emily cracking Kaylee and Nathan up by crawling up and tackling them.
Emily's first ride with mommy on my bike.
Emily laying on the bed staring at the fan making circles with her hand to match the fan.
Sitting on the floor looking at her books for long periods of time.
Begging food off of Mommy and Daddy
Emily crinkling her nose up whenever she thinks something is funny
Emily learning "so big" clapping, peek-a-boo
When she smiles at me and gets excited to see me after a nap
When she tries to share her food with me by trying to stick it in my mouth
When I pick her up and she squeezes me with her arms and legs like a little monkey.
Emily at the beach eating sand.. mmmm..
Emily growling at every animal picture she sees
Emily chasing an ant around the floor trying to pick it up.
Emily twisting her tongue.
Watching her running all around the house with balloons for an hour.
Emily enjoying her cup cake.
There are so many memories I could make a giant post and list forever. Here are pictures from when she was a newborn until just recent.

Morning walks with mommy

I'm trying to get in shape and Emily is helping!! Here's some pictures from our morning walk:

Emily loves being outside, it was a little nippy this morning:



















Well mom, are you just going to stand there or what?!?:



















A Emily silly face, she crinkles her nose:



















Little smirk:



















Not sure what that face is all about, silly girl. I can always tell who is retired, their yards are so plush and awesome:



















Out on a walk with mommy:













Getting a little sleepy:



















Good News:
I've finally figured out what I'd like to do for Emily's first birthday. I wanted to do something a little different but still wanted to keep it in the family so we're going to go to a local indoor waterpark/hotel and have her party there. Then all the kids can enjoy themselves. We will see if that works out, I need to talk to hotel and see if cake and stuff is allowed in the water park room and make sure they have rooms open for Wednesday night. I did get her cake ordered, I'm so excited I got one from the same place we got our wedding cake with the same filling. Call me silly but I thought Emily being the last baby, for her first birthday it would be nice to have the cake reflect the day we first became a family, or wedding day. I thought it would be sweet. I ordered a cupcake to go along with the cake cake so she can go to town. I'm excited!!

Shh.. playing with birthday present

A few more pictures of Emily playing today, mostly on her new zebra. She loves climbing on and off of it.

Watching a man walking his dog:
