Christmas with the Spink's

We spent Christmas with the Spink Family. We had a great time, we took Em to see Santa which she didn't like very much (pics to come), Mommy had to sit with Em and Santa. Em got a lot more clothes and toys too. Thank you Santa!

I love my new toy!

Look at my curly hair!

Merry Christmas!

Like my shades?

Em Walking??

In November Emily has been taking a lot of steps, she now walks about 50% and crawls about 50%. Here is a video of Emily walking, she walks a little bit like she had too much to drink :)

Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Visit

We went and had lunch with G. Grandma & Grandpa, we had a great time. They had some singing stuffed animals that Em loved!

1 year check up

We went to Emilys 1 year well visit. She is doing great!

EMILYS 1 YEAR STATS

30 1/2 inches

22.75 lbs

Emily had to get 4 shots today and she was not happy, but she did get her 2nd H1N1, I am happy she is vaccinated. Emily does not like the Dr's office and cried most of the time, poor thing! But she loves Dr Ward and shows off all of her skills, by waving and clapping!
We are trying to transition Em to a sippy cup and get rid of her bottles, we also plan to stop formula completely and give whole milk only, she is not a baby anymore!
Emily talks a lot but "real" words she says da da, and bye bye as she waves. She loves to copy sounds that we make too.
Emily can point at things, wave and loves to clap. She loves to make all kinds of sounds with her mouth and hands, like bah bah bah. She has mastered picking up objects with her thumb and forefinger. She started to to roll a ball from herself to another person. She also takes several steps alone, but not walking yet.
More and more Emily develops her personality, it is so much fun; except when she is having a tantrum because she is not getting what she wants :). Emily continues to amaze us with everything she is learning and how fast she is growing. We look forward to seeing her develop into a big girl!

Happy 1st Birthday Emily

Today is Emilys first birthday! We had a wonderful time with our friends and family. Thank you to all of you who made it out today, we appreciate it. We weren't sure at the beginning of the week if we were going to have to cancel since she had a 102 fever for 3 days...but it was an ear infection and she is feeling much better now. Last weekend we did a birthday party with Emilys "birthday buddy" Allie, they had fun eating there cake together. It was great to see Leah, Lexi and Allie!
