Who is this little girl?

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but how did this little girl grow up so fast?  We are officially in toddler territory and every day is an adventure.  The other day my jaw hit the floor as she pointed to a picture of a baby and said quite distinctly "baby."  She has an impressive vocabulary for a 14 month old and she definitely enjoys hearing herself talk (that goes for both of us).  She happily babbles for a good 20 minutes most mornings before she calls for mama to come get her.  She and Koa have truly become best friends (it was a bit one sided for a while) and I've managed to capture a few sweet moments with the camera.

Snuggle buds 

I forgot to mention she is obsessed

with her pacifier, aka her "nigh-nigh" 

Check out my chompers! 

Knock, knock...who's there? 

It's Emmy party pants 

Who is this little lady? 

Love this smiley face 

She posed herself, she's a natural! 

  

Beach Beauty

We spent Mother's Day at the beach this year

and Emmy thoroughly enjoyed the surf and sand!



My 1st haircut

I can't believe I forgot to post these pictures!

She had her fisrt haircut the day after her 1st birthday

and she loved every minute of it!

It's about time for another cut, that hair grows way too fast!

Easter

Emery loved hunting for eggs and was

 so cute putting them in her little basket

You can imagine her elation when she

discovered they were filled with yummy treats!

Emmy's 1st steps!

Our little girl is walking!

Strike a pose

Yum, I love yogurt! 

 

Happy 1st Birthday Emery!

Happy birthday to the happiest little girl in the world!

Words cannot describe the joy you've given us,

you melt our hearts with every smile, giggle, and babble.

Thank you for such a wonderful year!

I have my own swing at grandma and grandpa's house!

Birthday girl

She must be excited about her cute birthday bib 

Sweet Emmy 

Cake time! 

She just kept eating, and eating... 

the Emmy aftermath

Thanks for all of my presents!

Maybe I shouldn't have eaten all that cake,

I have a lot of bathing suits I need to look cute in!

Smiley Face

Biggest smile ever! 

My new favorite thing is climbing the stairs...

it makes me happy! 

One for me...

...and one for you. 

and now I'm going to play in your water bowl
