New Stats


Weight: 18 lbs — 10%-tile
Height: 29 inches — 50%-tile
Teeth: 4! The top two came in at the same time. She loves her nightly brushing ritual with daddy.
Eating: Emily is eating mostly table food now. She still gets her oatmeal and fruit in the morning with a bottle of milk. No more formula! During the day she gets a sippy cup with either milk or water. And another bottle at night. She loves yogurt and cheese.
New obsessions: DADDY! Emily just spent a whole week with dad while he was on spring break from school. Now she screams and cries when ever he leaves. Her other obsession is SHOES. Wearing them, carrying them, doesn't matter...
New words: shoes, elmo, deer. Yes, you guessed it, all those dead animals on my living room wall had a purpose..for dad to teach Emily the word "deer".

All American Girl

My Great Aunt Peggy gave me an American Baby Doll from the American Doll store in Chicago. Mommy says I am still too young to play with her everyday, so we will put her away for now and bring her out to play in a few months. I did get to play with her a little bit on Sunday. Aunt Peggy lives in Florida, so I hope she will be able to see my blog and let her know how much I like my new doll. Thank you Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dave.

My New Ride!


Grandma Beth gave me a new bike.

Happy Birthday Emily Grace!!!




We celebrated my birthday at PaPa and GeeGee's house on Sunday. We had some yummy cake and I even got to open some presents.

Happy Easter EveryBunny!!



The Easter Bunny came to visit me while I was sleeping. He even left me jellybeans in my new shoes, just like when mommy was little. Today is also my FIRST birthday!

Emily and Shelby



I wanted to look like my new friend Shelby, so her mommy did my hair in pony tails too.

Dave and Busters




Mama and Dad took me to Dave and Busters to meet up with some friends. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of our night.

I'm a Big Kid Now!!
