Emmalee turns 1


So today is Emmalee's 1st birthday!
What an amazing year it's been! From all the first things we've experienced, sitting, teething, rolling, talking, clapping, crawling and pulling herself to standing, just to name a few! She's shown us how precious every single minute of every single day in a year is! We celebrated her birthday with all of our family and close friends on Sunday. We had about 70 people at our house. (We also moved in June, so that was new too!) Emmalee was the star of the day, and made us laugh, and me cry, of course! She got so many wonderful gifts from everyone, we are so thankful!
Today we have been lounging around with my mother and sisters and cousin Alex, enjoying this day, remembering where we were a year ago! Daddy had knee surgery so have to go to his follow up appointment this afternoon, but will be going out for her birthday dinner afterward! If he's still going to be home with us tomorrow we plan on taking a day trip to the Niagra Aquarium! Emmalee LOVES fish, or as she calls them: "fssshh".
I hope to start being better about this blogging, making sure I've documented the things Emmalee does...not that anyone reads this but myself. But it's good to be able to look back! :)
