It just doesn't seem possible that a year has already gone by and my baby is now 1!!! It has been such an incredible year having Emma in our little family. She has such a fun personality and keeps us going non stop! She brings such an indescribable joy to us! Who knew as adults we would get so excited when she first rolled, smiled, clapped, sat up, crawled, walked, folded her arms, said "da da" and "ma ma" and so many other things! She is such a blessing and we love her so very much and feel honored and humbled to be her parents!
A few tid bits about Emma at 1:
She is starting to walk all over the place;)
Saying "mommy, ma ma, da da, daddy, ba ba, dg (dog), bl (ball)"
She call everything ma ma until I correct her!
She loves to point at everything, and will point at mommy and daddy (only in pictures though..silly girl), at the light, her hair, when you ask where Jesus is she points at the picture of him, and she almost hyperventilates when you ask her where the baby is...this is a picture frame that has some random little girl in it, but Emma LOVES her and loves to hold the picture and look at her 'friend'!
She climbs on the couch, in the window, on the toilet, in baskets..pretty much anywhere her little leg can get high enough!
LOVES to dance...any time she hears music she just can't help but dance;)
She gives the best 'hugs and kisses' especially to daddy...he doesn't even have to ask for kisses she just knows he loves them;)
Her favorite toys are balls...she will play forever chasing them around, anything that makes noise, loves looking at books, and is in heaven playing with all of her new toys from her b-day!
She is the best little eater...loves basically everything..especially her veggies and meat!!!
Crazy ticklish when daddy gets her with his scruff...cutest giggle!
Little social butterfly! She has absolutely no stranger anxiety...she would walk off with anyone and not even wonder where mommy and daddy went!
So HAPPY..I get from people all the time "she is such a happy baby" "does she ever not smile" "look at that smile"...I do have to admit she really is a happy baby even when she doesn't get a nap she takes a lot before she gets grumpy...but it does happen!!!
Absolutely LOVES to wave at everyone!
Loves being outside in the sun, rain, wind, stroller rides, bike rides, basically anything to go out!
Tub time is one of her favorite activities at the end of the day!
Leads the music every Sunday during sacrament;)
Mommy's little helper with cleaning (dumps soap out to have mommy wipe up and clean), cooking ( sits on the counter and makes messes;), and laundry (rides in basket and folds or ;)unfolds clothes)...best helper in the World!!!
Loves to wear necklaces all over the house!
My list could go on and on...but I will stop!!!
Her birthday landed on a Wednesday this year but we wanted to celebrate it in Salt Lake with our families so on her actual b-day Andrew made cupcakes and she got to have three of her very own! Messy messy!
Then on Saturday we celebrated with Andrew's family and my mom and day and daph's family all came! We had it at Andrew's house and enjoyed every minute!! With a yummy food and partying!! Here Emma is watching daddy intently lighting her candles.
When we started singing to her...her eyes lit up and she was all smiles, just watching everyone looking at her and singing...priceless;)
Trying to blow out her candles! I love this picture because you can see Dan, Kaye, and my Mom all doing the 'blowing' sign;)
She sneaked a little cake before we cut it for her;)
Feeding Daddy some cake, and dropping lots on the floor! Sammy (the dog) loved having Emma there for a few days...poor thing she fed him everything she ate...I am surprised he wasn't completely sick!!
Present time! She was spoiled rotten and got many many fun new toys, clothes, and books! She has played with everything and seems to love it all!! She is giving her new dolly named "Emma" a hug before even opening it up completely! Even her new ball got some loves!
Some of the crew at the party!
The middle of everything...soaking up the attention!
The day was great to celebrate our little ones first birthday surrounded by people who love her! Thanks everyone for coming and for all the love you give us and EMMA!! We love you!

Happy Birthday Emma! Her and Myla are going to love playing this fall!! She sounds so much like Myla. I cant believe how much she's grown over the past few months. And her HAIR Tamara! I am dying. She is SO adorable with her piggy tails. I'll admit, I am so jealous. She is just so cute and looks like such a big girl now. I cant even believe it.
Cant wait to see you guys. We'll be there soon. Then we need to PLAY. If nothing else, some hiking days... but I think camping would be so much fun.
