Thank you Grandpa and Gigi!

Here I am in my birthday present from Grandpa and Gigi! I love it--it has my name on it! I love sitting in it, and I love getting in and out all by myself. Mama and Dada are a little worried about me when I get out though, because I don't turn around and back down, oh no, I go straight down and catch myself with my hands so I'm ready to crawl! They put a pillow on the floor just for a little extra padding! Thank you for my chair!I had so much fun during Grandpa and Gigi's visit last weekend! They came in on Friday and Mama and I went to pick them up at the airport while Dada manned the grill. We had dinner, and then I hit the sack.

Saturday morning was really fun, but it was unusual! Instead of leisurely eating breakfast at home, they got me dressed and we all piled in the car and headed to Great Falls National Park. We had a picnic breakfast under the trees, and it was so much fun. I really love being outside like that--I like to hear the birds and see the green trees and blue sky.
After breakfast, we did a little hiking. We saw the waterfalls, and I got to see my first deer (other than the one on the wall in the basement)! It was awesome! I was in a backpack on Dada's back. I may make him and Mama take me hiking again soon!









Saturday afternoon we just hung around the house. It was nice and relaxing! While I took a nap, the grown-ups made homemade ice cream and Dada made a blueberry pie. (More about the ice cream later!) That night, Mama and Dada went on a date and Grandpa and Gigi took care of me and even put me to bed. I did fine!

Sunday, I went to Sunday school and then home to take a nap. When I woke up, we went to lunch, and that afternoon went to the pool! I didn't like the pool as much this time as I have before--I just didn't feel all that great.

After the pool, though, Grandpa gave me my first taste of ice cream! At first, I really wasn't too sure about it--it was SO COLD! I've never felt anything that cold before, especially not in my mouth! But I really liked it! I kept looking away like I didn't want it, but then I would turn and open my mouth wide for another bite! It was yummy!
Monday we just hung around, but we did go to a good lunch at the new Clyde's restaurant in Ashburn. Gigi walked me around the restaurant when I got fidgety, and we had fun. I was sure sad to see them leave on Monday afternoon--I can't wait until I live in Texas closer to all my family!

I love y'all,
Emily Ann

Emily, you are so cute sitting in your chair!!! Glad you like it! We enjoyed reading your blog and looking at your pictures. You are a gifted writer. I think you might be able to teach your mom and dad a few things. They are very fortunate to have you around. Can't wait to see you again!

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...
