Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Well, we made it to 1 year old (on 4/21). It is hard to believe and a little sad, but very exciting to watch our little Angel grow! She is such a happy and beautiful....toddler (tear). It's hard to keep up with her at times but so much fun! We had an awesome "Emma's Sweet Shop" birthday party with lots of family and friends. Although I know she wont really remember her party I'm glad we have photos of what a great time it was! Thank you again to everyone who celebrated with us. I cannot wait to see what the next year holds, and to see what a beautiful little girl Emma is going to become.

Day at the Beach

We had an awesome trip to Galveston last week and I had to share some pics. At first Emma was not having it but after it warmed up a little and the clouds burned off she was natural beach bum! And yes we did fit 3 adults, 1 baby and 2 wiener dogs on a 4 seater bike!




She was so worn out!

Best Buddies Forever

These are just too cute not to post. Isabella is in pink (born 4/15/09), Emma is in blue (born 4/21/09) and Ali is in purple (born 5/1/09, the youngest and the first to walk)! I think they will be best buds for life, although right now they just sort of steal each others toys. Sorry about the quality.

New Hobby

Just a few snapshots of our new hobby!

February, it's been a good month!

Emma is excited for Spring!!

February has come and gone, and it was a good one. Emma is clapping now and can wave bye bye. She loves to walk around with her walker and is getting good at it. We even go for walks outside with it. She can also walk with Mommy while only holding one of her hands. She is getting good and I'm thinking it wont be too long till she is off on her own. Poor thing had pink eye last week, but were are just about over it. We have been lucky to not have too many Doctor visits the past 10 months. Speaking of the Doctor, at the last visit Emma was 20 lbs and was 28 1/2 inches tall! Whew, shes a big girl. Smart too, she is so observant and still loves Word World, and American Idol too. I swear she follows the story line in the shows she watches. Right now she is learning to put smaller objects into bigger ones, and she thinks its great that she can hold two things in one hand. Her birthday is around the corner, hard to believe its almost been a year! We are planning a "sweet shop" birthday party, good thing cause this girl loves to eat!

Who Dat!! Super Bowl

Valentine's Day dinner

Poor pink eye

Little Lady...bug!

Just waiting on Dada to get out of the shower so we decided to play around with the camera!

has it been 9 months already?

Emma had her 9 month check up today and everything went great. She is doing everything she is supposed to be doing and then some. Dr. Mac was surprised she had so many teeth, almost a mouth full already (well really only 6). She is saying Mama and babababa (??? since she doesn't take a baba) and mimicking other sounds like coughing and laughing. Right now we are working on bye bye and giving kisses. She has gotten to where she will lay her little head on my chest and it just melts your heart (she has never really been a cuddler). She can walk behind her walkers pretty well and she loves to push little buttons (literally, not figuratively ;) She loves the dogs and laughs and laughs at them when they wrestle. Other than that she is just on the move all day crawling around the house and acting like a human vacuum. It only took about 2 dead bugs it the mouth (we live in the country okay) for me to realize we need vacuum every morning now.
