‘Bubbas’ and Surprises!

In all the drama of the past week I forgot to mention Emerson has expanded her vocabulary to include the word ‘Bubba’ (bubble)! When we wash our hands, do dishes or take baths, ‘Bubbas’ are on her mind! It’s very cute because she holds out her hand and waits to be given some bubbles to play with. Very fun! A package for Emerson arrived today from Courtney and Andy! It really couldn’t have come at a better time as it lifted her spirits and distracted her from relentless teething pains. She had a ball tearing open the tissue paper and continued to move it in and out of the box...

Toddling

Emerson is finally putting the ‘toddle’ into toddler! Today marks 13 months and her first real steps! The past few days she’s been toddling around the house – crawling, standing up and taking a few steps, kneeling back down and repeating the process. She knows she’s on to something exciting because she laughs and shrieks like a little monkey while we clap and cheer her on. We’re already excited to see where those crazy legs take her! Stay tuned for photos and video…...

Birthday Fun: Part 2

I can’t imagine a more perfect 1st birthday! Emerson worked up a big appetite today playing with her new toy car and walking! For the first time she took four well-balanced consecutive steps! I especially love that she waited for her 1st birthday to surprise me! Here we are playing and enjoying our afternoon together....
