About a week ago we went to have Emilynn's one year photos taken with Kim Martin who did her newborn photos. She wasn't feeling 100%, but I was very thankful for the pictures we got of her. She was really, really busy so on top of not feeling great she gave us all a run for our money and a camera.
Busy is the best way describe this girl. From the moment she wakes up in the morning, she has things to do. I have already been brainstorming about our spring and summer. I went ahead and got a zoo and museum membership and am considering a YMCA membership for the pool. Not only is this cutie busy, she is talkative. We have had countless people tell us this week that she is the most loquacious baby they have ever been around...if only we knew what she was saying. She is still a fantastic eater and continues to try new things. She still really loves her morning nap, so I'm not sure she will give that up anytime soon. She took her first four steps two days after her birthday and loves to "walk" with us holding onto our fingers. I would have to say that her favorite thing is music. When the music stops and there is a button to push to start it again, she will. And do a little dance or head bob. :) She also loves being outside. She's a little like her daddy...if she could be barefoot and naked all the time, she would. :) We have really enjoyed our porch the last couple of days. She also got a slide for her birthday that she is beginning to enjoy. Emilynn doesn't really have anything that she is particularly attached to (i.e. pacifier, lovey, etc), but she does love her sleep sheep that is in her bed and her bed itself is her lovey. :) She loves her bed. It has a "sheet saver" in it that is soft, and we have recently discovered that it must go with us when we travel or sleep elsewhere. Overall, Emilynn is a happy, content and passionate little lady. We love every minute with her. She has added a great deal of joy to life and makes us laugh daily. Emilynn Claire, we love you and your heart. May the voice of Jesus be familiar to you and may you follow Him all of your days!
