pictures at last

Here are the pictures I promised a couple of weeks ago. They are not in order of events but I have put captions with them so that you will know when things happened. Emily had a great 1st birthday. The weekend of her birthday party the weather decided that we needed snow. It didn't effect anything and the party went on as planned. The visit with grandma and Uncle Tyler was great. I took her to her 1 year check up on the 8th. She was 18.46 lbs (9%) and 28.5 in (26%). She went from 29% in weight to 9% and 47% in height to 26%. We weighed her a week later since she had not been eating very well the week before her doctor visit due to her illness to see what she was. In one week she had put on 0.2 lbs. We keep weighing her every week because the doctor said once she is 20lbs we can put her in her forward facing car seat.

In other news she started walking the Friday!! She still prefers to crawl but she can walk just slowly. I have video of her walking below. Her top teeth are finally coming in as well. Soon we will be able to give her more solid food since she will be able to chew it.

With only 4 months until the next one we decided to go crib shopping today. We did not find one until the very last place we went. It should be here in 6-10 weeks. The theme of his room is dinosaurs.

Here's a picture of Emily playing with the TV remote.

Emily loves her doll that Grammy gave her. She hugs it and then spanks it. Not sure where she picked up the spanking.

Just a random picture of her smiling at home.

Here's Kayla, Zoe and Emily playing in the balls in Florida earlier in January.

Emily loves to talk on her phone. That's why she has two cordless phones, one old fashion phone, and one cell phone. Of course she prefers mommy's and daddy's cell phones.

Emily liked to pick up the sand but did not like it on her hands. She would immediately try to brush the sand off while sitting on the beach at Sanibel Island in Florida.

She loved being tossed gently on and off the bed in Florida with Kayla.

Just being a goofball at the zoo in Florida.
