Emerie Turns One!

On April 15th Emerie turned one year old! She had lots of fun opening presents, playing with friends and eating yummy cake! Emerie is such a sweet little girl and is learning new things every day! She is so happy in the morning when she wakes up and looks at you with her pretty blue eyes and big smile. When Madison comes into Emerie's room in the morning she imitates me and says to Emmie, "Well hello sweetheart, how are you! Did you have a good sleep!" It's so cute to hear Madison talk in her high pitch "mommy" voice. Emerie just loves it.

Emerie has been walking for over a month now and loves to go to the playground. She likes the slide but isn't so sure about the swings yet. Some of her favorite things to say are, mom, mom, mom, mom... and a few other fun phrases. She loves to say, up, hi, hi daddy, thank you, share (she will scream share at Madison). Madison has taught her the word mine and no! She can say kitty, and make a few other animal names and sounds. She will experiment with most words. It's such a fun age! She is learning so many things so fast. Emerie loves to snuggle and will give very cute hugs. She says ohhh and lays her head on your shoulder when she snuggles. Emerie also loves to eat and sometimes seems like a bottomless pit. She lets us know by her sound effects when she loves what she is eating. Emerie also known as Ems, Emmie, or Madison's favorite, Emsie, can be quite the tease. She has learned to defend herself against Madison and she also knows what will make her mad. It's fun to see them play together and be cute sisters. Madison can pick on her but she also makes sure that she is taken care of. Emerie loves to imitate everything that her sister does, the good and the bad:) She also loves to climb and I recently hid our little rocking chair because she likes to stand on it and rock. What a little daredevil!

She had a fun birthday party with lots of friends over to play and watch her dig into her cake. It took her a minute to get used to the texture but soon she was loving it! We love our Emmie!
