Em's 1st Birthday

1 year old!

Eating my special low-sugar cake.  Oh wait I am only eating the frosting, and it is loaded with sugar!!

Standing on my own.

 

My beautiful girl!

 

This First Year has flown so fast.  Can we hit the pause button please!?!  Emily is the sweetest baby, so loved by all.  Matthew and Isabel think she is the best baby and tell her so everyday.  They have to kiss and hug her almost as much as I do.  Em lights up when Daddy walks in the door, still her favorite word (mostly only word) is, 'da da'.  She crawls as fast as she can to him.  She still loves mommy's milk but will sneak away Izzies or Matthews chocolate milk.   She will stand all by herself but no steps yet, soon I am sure.  She is my cuddle bug and will pretend to be shy and give hugs.  She is 19 lbs and is in the 25-50 percentile on all her stats.  And she has 7 teeth.  I love this sweet girl so much!
