The first year...

By the time she was 6 weeks old, she was ready for her first bath! (for those who haven' t had a baby yet, you have to wait for the cord to heal before you can actually bathe them in water)



She had already gotten so cute and chunky! She was always smiling and happy, until around 11pm when she started crying for a few hours.




At seven months, she had her first trip to the zoo. She liked it very much.



When she was 9 months old, Em got to go on a road trip to Chicago. Here are some random photos from that trip:



At 11 months, her favorite pastime.


Emily learned to walk right when she turned 11 months. Her first steps were to her brother, Christopher. By this time, she was always on the go, never slowing down. She was a climber, loved to run, kicked balls around, and already tried to beat her brother up by sitting on his head and bouncing up and down.

She loved being in the garden with daddy, taking walks, and playing with her magnetic alphabet.
