My baby girl is 1!!

Emersyn's birth announcement and 1 year old photo shoot

Emersyn's first birthday is today! I am am saddened that she is no longer considered a "baby", but a walking, talking toddler! This year went by so fast for us. I still feel like it was not too long ago, that I was holding my sweet little girl in my arms. Oh how things have changed and how she has grown! She is walking, not completely by herself, but definitely taking several steps and building her confidence daily! She has many words in her vocabulary: momma, dada, bubba, milk, more, no, yes, uh oh, whoa, ball (her first word and still favorite!), thank you, puppy; along with some animal sounds!
She loves to swing and race with her brother. She is such a climber and pretty good at it! She can climb up our slide by herself, is a master at the stairs, gets into her own chair to read and loves to play cars and ball with Ezra. She prefers to play outside and would stay outside all day if I let her. Her brother is the same way!!
She has several teeth already. I think at this point, Ezra only had two, maybe four! She has four on top, two on bottom with two more pushing through on the bottom. She is such a good eater! She rarely refuses food items and sometimes out eats her brother! She is still soo little. She weighs about 17 1/2 pounds and is tall. Her first year appointment is next week, so not sure about the exact height.
She is such pure joy and happiness. Smiling often and laughing much and cuddling more! We are so blessed to have been chosen by our Father in heaven to be her parents! We love her and look forward to this new year with her as she learns to walk, run, jump, climb, talk and grow into her toddler self!!!

WE LOVE YOU EMMY GIRL!!

Morning of her actual birthday!!
