Emma Week by Week - the First Year

It's time to move the week by week picture slide show. I didn't want to take it off the page completely, so I will put it in this post. I am working on a monthly picture slide show to show how much Emma is growing.

Ever left a bathroom with toilet paper on your shoe?

So Grama Thompson taught Emma a new game while we were in Midland. Maybe it isn't fair to say that Grama taught Emma the game, but she definitely encouraged it. I just had to share some precious pictures that we took of her playing this new game this morning... That was a brand new roll.
Doesn't she look like she is having a great time?
Pesky toilet paper didn't want to let go.
At least she helped her daddy clean up after she had her fun.

Thanks Grama! :)

White Christmas

We woke up to a white Christmas in Midland this morning! I had no idea that there was a chance of snow, so it was a great surprise. We took Emma outside for a few pictures, but it was too cold to keep her out there for long. Emma is getting very spoiled by her grandparents and great-grandmothers. It has been a wonderful visit so far. Now it's time to go to bed so that Santa can come!

Caught up - on one thing at least :)

Well, I finally caught up on the week by week slideshow. I can't believe that it was at 33 weeks. I am going to leave it up for a little while, then I will replace it with a month by month. Hopefully I will do a better job of keeping up with that one. I hope you enjoy looking at how much Emma has changed in the last year.

I have been sitting on the floor in the living room with Emma playing by me while I have been working on this. She just crawled over to me, layed her head down on my lap and fell asleep. How precious is that? I am so blessed. Now I need to go get ready for church in a hurry or we are going to be very late.

Look Who's Walking!

I just had to let everyone know that Emma took her first steps last night. I guess she just wanted to show off for her Gramma and Granddad before they had to go home. Matt tried to catch her in the act on the video camera, but she seems to be camera shy and would sit down as soon as he started recording. We will see if we can get some videos posted on here soon.

Birthday pics

Here are a few pictures from Emma's birthday and her party. I will post some more pictures and details about all the fun stuff she did soon.

Here are some pics of our little cutie pushing her stroller around after church last Sunday.
