1 Year!

I can't let today pass without taking a minute to mention Emma turning 1!! I can't believe how much she has changed and grown in just a year. Here are a few things she is doing now:
-Sleeps with her bum in the air
-Waving- she also says "Bye" while she waves
-Her growl is back! And funnier than ever.
-Her favorite toys are balls, blocks and cars. Her first word was "ball" and she gets SO excited when she sees a ball. She also rolls balls back and forth to us.
-She has 8 teeth- 4 on top and 4 on bottom. It makes her look so grown up.
-She loves other kids, especially Brady and Olivia.
-She stands independently for up to 30 seconds, but won't take steps without a firm grasp on something solid.
-Climbs up stairs
-When she gives us her cheesy smile, her eyes and nose crinkle up- absolutely adorable!
-She understands being chased, and will crawl away as fast as possible, giggling like crazy. Once we catch her, she will take a turn chasing us.

We love this little girl SO much!! She keeps us laughing and brings so much joy to our lives. I feel so lucky to be her mom.
