Emily's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast.  We celebrated Emily's birthday on April 11th up at Lake Arrowhead with Kenneth's parents.  We were also vacationing with them when Emily was born, and it was fun to see them again for her 1st birthday.  Emily was all smiles on her birthday and received some cute clothes and toys from her grandparents and her great-grandma.  She was an expert gift opener!

Emily LOVES books!

Emily was happy just to sit in the stroller...Danny was having a ball pushing her everywhere.

Emily is such an adorable little girl.  She is so happy and loves Danny to pieces.  She follows him everywhere and loves to play with him.  She has recently come to absolutely love books of all shapes and sizes.  She also, just as of this last week, has started to walk holding onto a push toy.  She would never walk if I held her hands, but she also has started to do that, as long as I'm only holding 1 hand.  She is also a big chatterbox.  She found her vocal cords a few weeks ago and jabbers all day long.  She also is FINALLY getting some teeth!  About 2 weeks ago she finally cut her first tooth, and about a week ago I noticed a second one coming in.  I was worried there weren't any in there!!  She also went to the doctors last week and all is well.  She received 6 vaccinations, and screamed like crazy, but as soon as I picker her up she was good.  Her stats are as follows:

height:30.5" (84th %)
weight: 19 lb (14th %)

I love Emily so much and am so happy to have her as part of our family.  She is so adorable and couldn't imagine life without her!
