Speed Racer!

Just had to write to tell you about my new nickname! When Mama and Dada came to pick me up from the nursery at church on Sunday (Father's Day), the nursery worker asked which child was theirs. When they said Emily, he said, "Oh, the little speed racer!" I'd been crawling all over the place the whole time they were in church! Until I saw my lamb, Whitey, peaking out of my diaper bag. Then I stopped, and looked up at it and stretched my arm toward it. The nice people in the nursery figured it out quick and got Whitey out for me. Then, back to crawling! Around and around and around I went, Whitey in tow! I love going to church! I moved from the babies room to the crawlers room about six weeks ago, and it's so much more fun. There's more room to roam, and lots of cool toys. Mama and Dada are so glad they can drop me off and that I have a good time and don't fuss--lets them enjoy church that much more!

I had a great Father's Day. After church, we came home and hung out and I took a nap. Then that afternoon we went to a swimming party with Will and his Mom and Dad, Kimmy and Abigail and their Mom and Dad, and Mia, Sophie, and Jonathan and their Mom and Dad. We all had a really great time. Dada says he'll remember this Father's Day for the rest of his life!

I have discovered that I can say a new sound. I am now saying "bee-bee-bee". Mama says I have learned the long e sound and she and Dada are proud of me!
Today, I got a couple of early birthday presents from Mama and Dada! I was so excited, because I'm starting to get bored with some of my old toys. They're still really nice and all, but you can only play with a toy for so long before it gets kinda' old, you know? Anyway, they gave me






a really cool big pink ball,



a new book, and one of those toys with the beads on wires you can push around. And, they got out some wooden blocks that Aunt Lindsey gave me for Christmas that I hadn't gotten to play with yet!

I haven't officially turned one yet, but I already really love birthdays!!!

Off to bed... love you all!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
