Happy Birthday Emma!

This is our little princess! Born November 15, 2006 at 11:33 pm. She was 7lbs 11.5 oz and 20 1/2" long.
And this is our little princess at her 1year birthday in Grand Junction Colorado. During her first year she slept 8 hours during the night starting at 2 months, rolled over at 3 months, crawled at 7 months, and walked at 9 months. Her first words were dada, mama, dog and yes. That was her vocabulary at 12 months. Her favorite things to do at age one were help mommy dump ingredients into a bowl to make dinner or cookies, play with her big people barn, take a bath, go to the mall and play in the play area, go to the park and swing and go down slides, and pretty much just be out doors.

This in Emma and her friend Olivia at her 2nd birthday party. This last year, Emma has started talking A LOT! Her speach is very clear and when she talks she tries very hard to say the word right. Now she loves to run and play outside with our dog Annie. She also loves to stack blocks really high and then knock them down. She is a little ball of energy with a very sweet spirit. I have never met a more loving little girl. She makes me so proud to be her mommy.

She likes to eat anything but green peppers (I tried, that's all I can say and I personally HATE them so I don't blame her). After I clean up a room, Emma will notice before Jacob does (how embarassing for him!). She loves to read and will clean up her toys every once in a while without me forcing her. She loves to watch movies and her favorite is Madagascar. Her best friends are Niev, Hallie, Micha and Quinton (I hope I spelt his name right).She is starting to get to know Olivia through nursery and when she goes over to Niev's and Olivia is there too.

Emma has been so easy to parent. She does have her moments like every child this age does but even then they aren't as bad as some tantrums I've seen. Emma has shown me a whole different side of who I am and what I can become. I hope she knows how much Jacob and I love her. Here are soem more pictures from her party:
