Emmerson is 1!

Last Friday, June 14th, Emmerson turned 1!  We had a low key day just celebrating her and getting ready for her birthday party the next day.  Andrew actually got the day off (he has been working long construction hours) so in the morning she opened her gifts...

She got this chair just like Ollie's from my parents.

Some clothes.

Hair bows.

This cool toy from our friends.

And a necklace because she loves wearing mine.

Kisses time.

And an owl bank.

Trying out their chairs together...

Can you see the barrier we have to put up so Emmie doesn't get the TV!?

 Then Andrew had to put up our new curtain rods in the living room...

Helping Dad.

Love that face!

Time for a snack.

Love this girl!

 For her birthday treat we gave her an oreo pop that I made for her birthday party.  She loved it...

 So Emmerson is still getting into everything!  I am always picking up after her but I decided that is better than a crabby girl that always needs me.  She is very independent but still loves to be held.  She is sleeping great!  Usually 8-7 with two naps.  She drinks a bottle of warm whole milk in the morning and one before bed.  She loves her bottles and will fuss until she gets it.  She is walking fast, goes up and down stairs and her new thing is going down our toy slide by herself.  She likes putting lids on things, wearing necklaces, loves her blankets, and stealing anything her brother has.  She is saying "ba, ba" for bye bye and "hot".  She likes animals and makes a certain sound "do, do" when she hears or sees a dog.  If you ask her a question she will shake her head yes, and if you tell her to get her paci or blankets or other commands, she knows what to do.  She is getting a little better at not doing something when we say no but sometimes thinks it is a game.  We don't have her doctor appointment until Thursday so we will see how big she is getting then. (At her appointment on the 27th she weighed 19 lb and was 29.7 in long.  About 20th percentile for weight and 70th for height) She is my sweet little adventurer that doesn't want to miss a thing.  We love you so much Baby Girl and are so blessed to have you!
