Happy Birthday Baby!!!

Where has the time gone? Our sweet little Emma, is one & we are just stunned. It has been an amazing year, though sometimes very tough & stressful we made it.

Today we didn't really do much celebrating, we just sang to her several times & went to the park to watch cousin Kaylee play soccer. We also got her a birthday shirt, which you will see below & her Nana got her a birthday bib but we will use it next weekend at her party. We decided to wait another week before we have a party so she can enjoy it more. She has been quite fussy & probably not feeling well just yet since we got home the hospital + she is cutting her third tooth, poor baby (baby can't get a break).

We will be getting her an Elmo (one of her favorite things) cake, but I am not sure if the decor will be Elmo or not, haven't decided quite yet. It will be a pretty small party, family only & I hope she has a good time. I have already purchased 2 of her gifts & I plan on getting just a few more small things. I am trying real hard not to spend a lot for her on her 1st birthday & to save some things for Christmas, it will be here before you know it.

Emma is saying or at least trying to say several words. She can say "Mama" (her second word), "Bye," (her first word), today she said "paci", & she has been trying this week to say "baby", "ball", "good girl", "all gone" and "all done". We haven't been able to get her to say "Dada" yet, but we are still trying.

This was the best picture we could get. She wouldn't keep her hands out of her mouth. Teething again, poor baby & on her birthday too.

Kissing Big Bird's nose (one of her new tricks)

Kissing Mama

Kissing Daddy, but she ends up biting him, twice. Sorry Daddy.

At this point she has had enough & is about to cry. I tried to get the Elmo balloon in the far left corner in the picture too. Thanks Aunt Karen for the balloon.

She looks so beautiful! I was glad to get caught up on everything... it was hard to be without a computer while in the mountains! We are going to be sending a little something, too, for her birthday - I'll let you know when we mail it...
