Wow, I can't believe how time seems to move so quickly. Emma turned 1 year old on May 7th, 2010. My once 6 lb. 5.5 ounce peanut is now a full-fledged toddler weighing in at 21 lbs at her 1 year check-up and 30 inches long (2 months later, she is 23 lbs and 30 3/4 inches tall). Her 1st birthday party was great and she has such a blast. She was dainty about her cake, but loved the frosting. Many people showed up to help us celebrate, the theme was Cupcakes! She has grown to be such a smartie. As of now, she has about 15 words and she gets into everything! Emma crawls everywhere, loves to eat almost everything, follows one-step directions, reads books non-stop, loves playing with her toy kitchen and pretend food, pulls herself up on anything she can grab, and loves sticking her face in the water. She is not walking independently yet, but we are in no huge rush for that! She will walk along anything she holds onto and will walk while holding one of our hands. I am sure the walking will come any day now; for now, we will relish in the fact that our daughter isn't running away from us yet!
Here are some of our faves from the past 6 months...I promise I will be better about blogging from now on!
Surprise! I can get into the laundry basket and tip it back up by myself!
Kiss me, I'm a wee bit Irish! :)
