We had a great Wednesday with our bestest friends John and Jill at Kierland in the fountains. It was Emma's first time so she was a bit hesitant but John showed her the ropes. As interested as she was in the fountain she was equally interested in playing the grass and rocks. It was fun to see her wander. We can't wait to go again soon.
We went on our first family camping adventure a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Emma loves being outside and in Scottsdale it's just too hot so we took full advantage of outside time. We went on walks, played with the dogs, played games, and let's not forget making smores.
Emm'a best friend is our cat...now we just have to get the cat to realize the same thing : )
Somehow I think that she's finally catching on, ever so slowly.
I love it!! Who knew that a 1 year-old could love books so much. Emma's got rooms of toys but always chooses to pick up various books and read them. I think it's the greatest thing ever. I love when she picks out her book, brings it to me, and then pats my leg to sit on my lap and read. Smiles Smiles all around from Mommy and Daddy. However, she's also likes to be Ms. Independent and select a book and climb in a chair to read it.
We've returned from our annual Cabria trip and oh what fun we had...I just we wish that we had pulled out the camera more often. Uncle Bill we'll get you with Emma at Christmas.
We did have fun taking walks on the boardwalk with Emma and going kayaking with UB, Aunt El, Georgina, Jeff, and Emma. The boys had a day out surfing- unfortunately, for me, no surfing while prego- but that's okay there's always another year.
Thanks Aunt El and Uncle Bill we always have such a great time seeing you.
Yes, it's a double header. Emma loves the pool so we take her in as often as possible. Check out daddy and Emma. We had a wardrobe malfunction with her swimsuit so we improvised.
No, we didn't fall off the face of the earth...mommy has just been extra busy. On June 13 we celebrated Emma's 1st birthday. We were happy to spend the day with family and friends. I made Emma a giant cupcake but it turns out she's not a big fan. The pictures don't do the situation justice but it was so funny.
