Busy Week

Emily had her first picnic this week.  We took her to Riverview Park and walked for what seemed like 15 miles.  Good grief!  She had fun though.

Then finally on Sunday, Emily finally decided to unwrap one of her duplicate presents from her party.

Friday, we took our big one year old baby girl to see her Great-Grandma Pat and Great-Grandaddy Emory in Columbia.  Grandma Pat gave Emmy a precious teapot and some gorgeous outfits.  (Thank you!)

On Saturday, Uncle Krish came to visit and Daddy and Uncle Krish went to the USC/Alabama game.  So the girls went to Touch a Horse.  Emmy got to ride a cuite pie little horse and pet some cutie pie little puppies.  

She is getting to be such a big girl! Everyday she has new words that she uses.  She will pick up her toy cell phone and say "hello."  She had been calling James "Da" but this morning she busted out the "da-da."  "Baby" is also a favorite.  

At her one year doctor visit this week, the Dr said that if she stays on her growth curve she will gain 5lbs this year and grow 5 inches!  We are going to have a tall skinny baby!  But of course she will always be just perfect to me =)

Emily's First Brithday

Thanks to everybody who came to celebrate Emily's first birthday!!

Emily had a great time and it was so much fun to have everybody in the same place. Thanks for coming!

Baby Steps

 Baby girl has definitely started taking steps (last Friday).  Now she is up to walking from the couch to the coffee table with no coaxing, usually while watching tv.  She hasn't had much opportunity this week though because our house has been pretty busy.  We have some steps on video, but Daddy has to figure out how to get it off his super fancy phone. =)

I have also spent a lot of time this week getting ready for my sweet sugas birthday party.  We have about a dozen tissue paper poms around the house and the supplies for 60-70 balloons.  I bought one of those disposable helium tanks though so we will have to see how that turns out.  This is the picture that I gave to the cake lady...

I am really excited!  I can't wait to see how it turns out.  She is going to use a brighter pink, blue, purple scheme instead of all the green/yellow.

And then, just because its precious....

 And this is what her Daddy does to her when I go to work...

See you Saturday!
