I still think sippy cups are toys, but this one just lets the water
flow right out without any suction required, so I approve!


However, that means there is also NO protection when tipped over!


Which can cause issues with moves like this! :)


Pushing my birthday present from mom and dad all by myself!


The wheels don't go too fast, so I can even take a break next to it!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve at grandma's was hectic but fun! :)


Olivia and Aunt Cathy even let me open gifts that weren't mine!


Christmas morning! Let me at 'em :)


Reading a new book with daddy.


Eating a new turtle bath toy with mommy.


A glow worm....I'm intrigued! :)


Pondering my next move...

Ah yes, this one should be next :)

Had a wonderful Christmas...thank you everyone!! :)

Emily's First Birthday Party!

Happy 1st Birthday and Christmas fun!

I've actually been very gentle with the tree and just touched its
branches curiously! Of course the ornaments start higher up :)


Who knew wrapping paper rolls could be so fun??


Couldn't find the camera for the birthday party, but here I am on the
morning of my 1st birthday playing with some new toys!!

Look at my lovely bed hair :)

Snuggling with Aunt Tara and the new bunny she got me! :)


Doesn't everyone sleep with their butt in the air?

My new favorite word is "HI!" and I'll wave at you too :)

Digging for goodies!

Pondering what's next!

Cruising :)

HI! :)


I like cards that make music! Open, close and repeat!


Is there anything I need up here?

Lots I can get into here! :)

Look at that little guilty grin :P

I've started pulling myself up on things!


I especially love these low window ledges! You
can look outside AND bring a toy with you :)


I even try to share!


Uh oh...now what? :P

I love playing with my gorilla!


I found a new way to play in the exersaucer :)


I even brought toys with me!


Peek-a-boo!

I love these low window ledges...everything must go on them!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I was a giraffe!


I'm so cute :)


I still prefer my army crawl, but sometimes I'll get up on my
knees and rock back and forth to see what the big deal is :)

Cuddly blanket time with daddy...awww.

Reading time with my best bud Ellen!

We even read together for a second :) Too adorable!

A few more photos from our Denver trip!
Here we all are at the duck pond :)


A 3-generation shot in front of the mini xmas tree :)


Trying out stairs for the first time!


Having fun at the zoo!


A face that make you go awwww..... :)

Took a trip to Denver to see Pop & Gram!

Pointing out Gram's nose to her!


Pop playing with my feet makes me grin!


Loved the jumper they had for me to bounce in!! :)


Walked to the duck pond and looked at those strange creatures :)


We also went to the Denver zoo...the peacock was my favorite!


My new shoes were quite interesting!

I had another early Christmas and loved opening gifts!
I was especially fascinated by my very own cell phone!!

But the best gift was this house front!! So much to play
with and open and close and so many sounds!


Peering through the door!

Had a great trip!! :)
