really one already?

my baby turned one.  

how?

she is still so little.  tiny compared to her brother and sister. 

and yet here she sits with her big candle and feet that can walk already.

a few special things about my e.

we like to call you e or emmers. You always have a smile for us.

you love to give big open mouth kisses which we love and gross us out.

you also love to wave goodbye.

You took your first steps when you were 10 months, but then decided you didn't

really want to go anywhere on those feet.  You only took 3-5 steps for over a month before finally

going for it.  by the time you turned one you were walking like a champ.   

your big eyes are such a special color.  not green, not brown, but some of both and some gray.  

means you are special.  

everyone in the family loves you and get so excited when you do something new.  

you used to go to anyone, but now you have decided that is not ok.  

sometimes you giggle in your room or in the car to yourself.  you think you are pretty funny.

if you are sad a game of hide and seek is sure to put a smile back on your face.  

you are our first baby who actually sleeps through the night.  even if you miss a nap, you will still sleep.  thank you.  

we love you to bits.  

you finally made it to the doctor around 13 months- you are 25th for height and weight.  You only weigh 18 pds... could be a while before you get to turn around in the car!
