Emmalyn's 1st Birthday Party!

Emmalyn enjoyed her party so much! I mean really, really enjoyed it. I've never known a 1-year-old to be that engaged in a party. She loved seeing all her guests, clapped and danced when we sang the birthday song to her, and she played with ALL her cards and new toys. The only part she didn't enjoy was her cake. Yep, you read that right! She didn't want anything to do with her cake. GaGa made her a separate smash cake all her own, but she didn't even want it on her high chair! After lots of coaching to get her to taste it, she pushed it off her tray! Smash cake smashed into the carpet. Little stinker! So instead of birthday cake, she enjoyed her first See's Chocolate. Yum!!!
I can't believe she's already one! Seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Emma is so loved by everyone the other kiddos would fight over who would get to hold her next. Now they fight over who gets to play with her! I pray that we have many more happy and healthy birthdays.

Happy Birthday Emmalyn!


We celebrated today by buying a new pair of shoes at the mall! And then this evening, her first cupcake with the never-ending birthday song. Sunday is the big party out at Wenzel Mountain. Everyone is invited!

Duct tape wallets




 
Maddy's new hobby! She makes wallets out of colorful duct tape.

She took her first steps on Christmas! A month later around at 10 months old she was cruising all around the house!

Storks bite



Since she was born I've always wondered about these red blotchy marks on the back of her neck. The doctor tells me it's a storks bite. That really confused Samuel :)

Family Picture


Emmalyn 7 months!


She still hasn't cut her teeth and is very juicy. She's perfected crawling! But just like when Maddy was a baby, she also won't crawl on hard surfaces. So when going from the carpet to our tile floor, she goes from hands and knees to hands and feet. Our little monkey!

Crawling!




 
Got it!

Emmalyn 6 months old!

13lbs 7oz
24 inches

She has the cutest way of crawling. First, she gets up on her hands and knees, then sticks her butt up in the air and lunges forward. It's too funny!


Catching up

It's been so long since I've posted anything. Life has been so crazy with ups and downs. But it makes me sad to think I haven't been recording any of it. Time to put together some pictures and memories of the past 6 months!
