It's not always fun and games...

As a side note... look how long her hair is getting!

Swingset Fun

Emma Claire got a swingset for her birthday. We are so excited about the many years of fun it will bring her and can't wait for the weather to warm up for good. Kyle has it about 75% assembled - enough that she can swing. Her are a few pictures of her enjoying it.

Brushing her hair

Tonight Emma Claire was fussing while we were getting her ready for bed so I handed her the hair brush. She immediately started trying to brush her hair on her own. Too smart!

1st Birthday Party

On Sunday, February 20 we celebrated Emma Claire's first birthday with our friends and family. Here are a few pictures from the day!

Emma Claire's 1st Sign!

Tonight while feeding Emma Claire dinner, I signed more while giving her more meat. She responded back by signing! Mid way through the meal we could just say more without showing her and she would sign when we said more and by the end of the meal she was signing more on her own when she wanted more. How very exciting to see her soaking everything in! Here is a video of her signing.

Also new tonight, I asked her in the bathtub what does the doggie say and she responded "woof woof"!

Laps

Miss Priss is totally infatuated with walking behind her walker. She made laps around the living room tonight for probably 10 minutes tonight. Here is a video of her in action...

Our Big Girl

Just a quick update tonight. We discovered today that Emma Claire understands now when we tell her to blow a kiss. We can tell her without showing her and she will respond with blowing a kiss!

She also decided tonight to start walking behind her walker. We have hardwoods so it goes a bit fast for her. Daddy slowed it down by holding on the front and she did great!

Pictures and 1 year & birthday party posts coming soon!
