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 



Playdate in the park

Emmy the water bottle thief

The leaf queen 

Weeeeee! 



10 months old!

Looking very big all of a sudden

She still loves napping in her swing, 

I wonder how much longer that will last? 

Hey mom, can I help you bake? 

I'm very helpful in the kitchen 

Yes, I am teething and I am being very sweet about it!

My two bottom teeth just popped up last week.

Yay!  Daddy's home! 

Someone looks pretty cute in pigtails!

Just wanted to show everyone my cute new hairstyle!



Here's a quick Emmy update:

She weighed in at 17.1 lbs at her 9 month check

She is getting her first tooth! (for real this time)

Her new favorite word is doggie...

When she tries to say doggie it comes out doddeee

She loves feeding her doddeee from her plate,

And she can rock some sweet pigtails!

Hope everyone's 2011 is off to a great start!

A Very Emmy Christmas

On a sad note, last week was Emmy's final week with me

 at the office. She starts day care in a few days and I will miss her so much.
