Emily is 1 year old!

Oh sweet Emily, happy happy birthday to you!

You are the best eater!  You try everything.  You like everything (except plain cheerios).  You are such a clean eater...no food on your glasses and rarely in your hair.

You are a sweet sleeper.  Seriously, it is the sweetest thing to see you curled up in your little footie pajamas surrounded by a million pacifiers and your little hands up by your face.  Mommy and Daddy love to go in and watch you before we go to bed.

You love to say banana!  And mama...and now dada.  You like to point to our noses and mouths.

You LOVE your glasses.  You get so excited when mommy picks them up to put them on.  You don't take them off or even play with them and if they slide, you whimper and look at mommy until I fix them.  I've been so surprised and so happy!  You also love your bows.  You like to point them out whenever we are in your room and you proudly smile when we put one on you.  Cute girly girl.

You have 6 little teeth now...finally!  Those top four came in all together at the start of this month.

You are taking STEPS!  Hooray!  You like to push the trash can, the hamper, and the stroller all around them house.  On your birthday you took a few steps on your own!!! Here we go, little almost toddler!

You love to be flipped.  You have loved it for a long time.  This month you started flipping your body backwards in a sort of trust fall *trusting* that we would flip you over.  You did this when mommy and daddy were both in front of you and we both lunged to catch you.  You silly girl. Mommy also caught you "flipping" backwards onto a pillow while you were looking at a book by yourself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETHEART!  We are so glad you have been in our family for a whole year and love you with all our hearts!
