1 year old!!!

I am a little overdo on this post but we have been very busy! Our apologies!

Emmalyn is 1 year old! 1 year old... I still can't believe it! It in some ways has flown by and in others has seemed like forever. She is cruising around the furniture quickly but is still not ready to let go. She is still very tiny, weighing in at a whopping 17.5 lbs! She as you know has finally got some teeth (no more than two still) and wants nothing to do with "real food!" She gags herself and throws up most things we try to give her. She is still wants an afternoon nap bottle and a bedtime bottle. I don't think she is ready to let that go quit yet (or maybe I am not ready!) haha! The poor thing has been sick for about 10 days now so her birthday was filled with naps and a runny nose :(
Her big birthday party was yesterday. She got so many cool gifts! She is enjoying them all very much today! I do think the balloons are her favorite for now though... go figure! The party was great! All the aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins were there! Erin made two wonderful cakes for Emmalyn! Em had her own Elmo smash cake and we also had a sesame street sheet cake (my pic of that didn't turn out for some reason.)They were so cute and tasted even better! Thank you so much Erin!!! And thank you everyone for your generous gifts! She loves them all!!
Cold aside, Em is keeping us moving nonstop and is just so full of happiness and love! She kisses everything and I mean everything in sight!!! She is such a busy body but also loves to cozy up! There is just no greater blessing than her! She is pure sweetness and we say everyday that she proves that God's grace is real!
