Finally, I get to go outside...

Emily loves the outdoors. Evertime we are sitting in the living room, she is pointing to let us know that she wants to go outside. It wasn't raining today so we let her go outside and play on her favorite toy slide. Her favorite spot to sit is on the grass. She loves to pull it out of the ground and watch it fall out of her hand. We caught her making some cute expressions while she was playing.

First Steps Owie

Emily started taking her first steps a few days ago. While she's walking

she has to jabber to herself...it must help her concentrate. While

she was at Grandma Sant's house yesterday, she learned how to

walk and kick a ball. While she was practicing,

she slipped and cracked her head on a plant stand. She had an

instant bruise and then started bleeding. She's also

starting to get a black eye. We felt so bad!!! This is her

first major accident and I'm sure there are

many more to come. I wondered if she would be scared

to try walking again, but she soon forgot about her owie and took

off again. We are so proud of our little girl.

Emily's 1st Birthday Pictures

Our little sweet Emily has turned a year old today. She is getting big and she is ready to walk and get into everything.

Emily keeps getting more and more hair everyday. It gets more curly and red as the days pass.

Her personality has really started to show. She is always smiling and having a good time with her family.

She can now say about 10-12 words. Bub = blanket, Ba = bottle, she says baby for everthing that is soft and lays her head down on whatever it is and cuttles with it.
