A Shoe her Size or My Size???....

Emmalyn is figuring out that she wants to wear big girls shoes....and to try and put your shoes back on your own feet...

My Love Bug Reading...

Here's a cute video of Emmalyn reading her book Go Dog Go. Watch to see what she does at the end, which she learned from her Papa Steve reading books to her. She absolutely loves to read her books aloud, and everywhere. It's by far one of her most favorite things to do.

My girl loves to splash!!

A LiL Update...

Here are some photos taken at Emmalyn's Birthday dinner, yes I know there a month behind. Also are a few pictures from cousin T.J.'s birthday party as well. More pictures are to come in a few hours....

Emmalyn's First Birthday!!!!

Emmalyns First birthday party was a huge success, if you don't count the fact that she was not in such a great mood!! :) We enjoyed all the friends and family that were able to make it to the event, and are so thankful for the love Emmalyn has been shown for the last year. Emmalyn is loving playing with all the toys she got, and mommy is enjoying dressing her up in all of her clothes!!!

Christmas Eve

Well its Christmas Eve and I'm waiting for my baby girl to get up from her nap. This week was so disorganized it sent me in a spiral, but of course on top of the head ache I already had from being sick. Emmalyn got her first illness, which yes I can say was a joyfull pain in the butt. She had a tempature that nearly got to 103*, and it turned out to be an ear infection. This of course is probably a sign of whats to come, :). So we got her some antibiotics and a lot of tylenol (for baby), and she is just starting to livin up. Since she's been keeping food down and has been quite cheerful we took her to see Santa today. Really bad idea when your child can tell people from parents, and gets freaked the hell out by a white bearded old white guy. Oh well, its like tradition to see if your kid screams or just cries the first time, mine I can say cried, walled and then tried grabing for Daniel and I, whom were about ten feet away. She would quickly glance up at Santa, turn her head and for a brief moment contemplate whether this was okay that she was in a strange mans lap. Thankfully my child had a good feeling it's not okay and screamed, unfortunatly I'm sure in sixteen years I'll be praying she still thinks that way. So once I get a moment I will up load that picture and the family pictures we took, for all to see.

Happy Christmas Eve and Off to Grandpa and Grandma Steels house

Just a few Random Photos

Okay well we have been very active lately, I have just been horrible on keeping this updated due to an over load on summer school homework. For some reason I decided to take way to many classes and now I have no free time...well at least for the most part. The last few weeks have been amazing for Emmalyn. Though these pictures don't show all of this, they will be coming soon to a blog near you. (this one to be exact) So she experienced her first 4th of July, which was amazing. We went to Elk Grove park and were right under some of the best fireworks I've seen yet. You will never believe how great Emmalyn was during the show! I brought earphones for her to wear in an attempt to muffle out the booms from the fireworks, and boy did it work. Granted we were so close you could feel it in your chest, Emmalyn sat there like a pro and watched all the fireworks. She looked in shock of what was going on...and then when the last big hurrah started, I looked down at my little angel, and she was out. Yes people she watched the whole thing and then passed out during the loudest and most startling part. It was amazing. She is also grasping on how to function her arms and hands a lot better. She plays in her exersaucer with ease now and can not stand to lay down. She always wants to be sitting up, even though she can only hold herself there for a few moments. She also hot her second tooth in a couple weeks ago, which I've had the darnedest time getting a picture of. For some reason when I pull her lip down to snap a picture she puts her tongue out to stop me. So we are leaving for Aptos tomorrow and I will yet again have a billion pictures to upload and to try and update, so hopefully in the next few weeks there will be many blog entries with pictures of my love bug for you all to see. I mean she is the cutest thing to fall from Heaven!!

She thinks I'm crazy with all my picture taking, but boy does she love her toys.

My big blue eyed monster!!!
