Red, White, & Blue

This was my 2nd Fourth of July to celebrate! This year was a little more action-packed than last! I really enjoyed the 4th last year with Grammy, but it was a little "low-key", according to Grammy. I remember laying in her arms on the couch and we listened to these loud banging noises outside. She kept calling them fireworks...

This year, Mama and Dada told me how much I have grown up since last year! I wasn't swaddled like last year...I had on big girl clothes...jean shorts and a red-checked shirt. Speaking of clothes, Mama and Dada bought me some new shoes today! Mama has looked around for some that were my size (4-5) and she found them today! She calls them Crocs. They may have a funny name, but they sure are comfortable! They are a little big, but Dada says there's growing room.
We went to a Fourth of July celebration at Claude Moore Park in Sterling. I met a clown and he made me a balloon dog. I ended up sharing him with another little boy, because his popped and he was really sad about it, so Mama said it would be nice to let him have mine. I agreed. After the clown, we just walked around a bit. There were really long lines for pony rides and tractor rides...I think I heard Mama and Dada saying they were glad I wasn't big enough for that yet! Dada did find some sheep by a fence and he took me right up to them! They looked a little like puppies, so I told him so. I told him "bow-wow-wow!"
After we walked around, we decided to have a picnic lunch. I tried Dada's barbeque sandwich! I liked it, but I preferred my peaches, peas, strawberry bar, and tater tots Mama packed! What a random lunch, Mama! I was fun to sit on the blanket and play with Dada.

I pretty much just played at home the rest of the day. I asked to go to the pool, but the weather didn't cooperate, Mama said.

I did hear those fireworks again this year. But, I am such a big girl, that I just slept in my crib though it all. I wonder when Mama and Dada will take me to see fireworks, not just hear them??? Maybe next year...

Oh, by the way, I drink from sippy cups now! No more bottles "ba-bas" for me!

Love you,
Emily Ann

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

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...
