On Februray 23rd Emery turned 1!
I can hardly believe how fast a year went. On the other hand, I can't even remember life without her. I am pretty sure Seth can't either. It has been awesome to watch their relationship grow. In the beginning he was so scared of her and would tell me to put her down for a nap so I could play with him. Now he frequently asks me to wake her up so she can play with him. I love that he loves her, and without a doubt she is his biggest fan! I love the way she watches and looks at him. I see her silently practicing doing the things he does (like reading, and climbing, tinkering with toys, and building tracks) on her own when she is playing on her own.
Some things I want to note about Emery in her first year of life:
She loves to cuddle.
She signs more and lights, claps, does patty cake and popcorn popping.
Her first word other than momma and dada is "dts" (lights). She says it when she signs.
She loves to say uh uh, no no no, and uh oh
She will respond "no" or uh uh and shake her head no, to anything you offer her, even if she wants it. It is funny to watch.
She climbs just about anything. I have had to put my step stools on counter tops so that she doesn't climb them.
She copies Seth
She loves, loves, loves dogs (or any animal for that matter).
Her favorite book is Moo, Baa, La La La and Doggies by Sandra Boyten. She frequently crawls or toddles over to me with either of those books in hand.
She has never been a big eater and has really frustrated me in the nutrition department. She goes through waves of not wanting to eat much at all. This is such a flip from her bottomless pit of a brother.
She loves my shoes already, and really likes sunglasses.
She only says mamma when she is crying
She waves at everyone and loves to smile at people. She has a very friendly and sweet disposition (but can hold her own and push other kids around if she deems it necessary in order to get what she wants:)
She is our happy baby! Happy Birthday to Emery Brooke! We love you to pieces.
Brandon was in Florida for her actual birthday. It is only fair, since the same thing happened for Seth's first birthday. We had a good day though, then celebrated it on Saturday when Daddy got home!
The girl loves cake!
She had to be stripped to open her presents since she was so messy from her cake!
She got her first doll, cute clothes, a book, and her own pair of sunglasses.
While Brandon was gone, She did get to open one gift from Aunt Shae. She had no problem tearing the package opened!
The following week she got her one year shots! I thought this was funny.
She loves my shoes and glasses.
