Emmie turned ONE!

I can't believe how fast a year goes. Our little Emmie turned one on January 10. We had a party with mostly family and a couple of friends at our house. Emmie loved it! I think she really knew that the party was for her. She played with her guests, told them she is one, performed "twinkle, twinkle little star", and then dove into her cake. I finally had to take it away from her. Not only does she look a little like me, she definitely got my sweet tooth.

Emmie is so amazing to me. It seems as though a little light turns on every couple of days and she learns more and can do more. She is quickly becoming a little toddler. She desperately wants to do anything that Walt is doing. If he has a popsicle, she obviously has to have one too. She lets us know by pointing and shouting "dat, dat, dat!" Emmie is very independent and wants to do things herself. She gives great kisses, hugs, and as of yesterday love pats.

Tiny Dancers

I recently had a request to please figure out how to send videos of Walt and Emmie to everyone. I am making an honest effort to figure this out.

Last week Rutledge and Maggie had us all over for dinner. Riding over there, Walt is screaming, let's go to Rutch and Maggie's house, I see it, It's over there, go faster mommy, go faster. When we arrive, "It's a party! Party at Rutch and Maggie's house!" It wasn't a party, just dinner with Rutledge and Maggie. After dinner and a little past Walt and Emmie's bed time, Rutledge was playing the guitar and singing. The kids absolutely loved this. They were both dancing all over the house and table. So here is a pretty cute video of my tiny dancers.
