Ephraim was a key helper in opening her -left over Christmas/Birthday gifts.
The joy of getting messy with out her mother wiping everything up the moment after it happens.
The mid-day (I actually look cared for, and dressed shot)
No doubt a child invented the grand idea of a never ending, sticky, delicious treat on a stick, that is so big it barely fits in the mouth.
My Little Lady turned 1 on February 13th. It was a wild weekend with Adam's birthday the day before, Valentines the day after, and lots of stake conference nestled in between. But she voiced no complaints and throughly enjoyed the carrot cake her dad made for her and a sucker that was sent in the mail from Grandma. Here's a hit list of where she's at for ol' history sake.
*She doesn't walk unless being held by the hand. Ephraim loves leading/dragging her around, and she likes it too....until she wipes out.
*As far as wipe outs go...this girl is toughing up, and I like it. We hold a fairly regular "gymnastics" class at home with the couch cushions and jumping around and she climbs all over them, flops off, bonks her head, rolls over, giggles, and climbs back on again.
*Her favorite place is Ephraim's bed, where she climbs on and he bounces her around with his jumping.
*She LOVES her big brother!!! She follows him everywhere, and if anyone can really get this girl to laugh its him.
*I can't remember what Ephraim was super into at this age, cept the broom, and mop. Emeri hasn't shown much interest in those, but she loves books. And with her perfected scoot, she'll grab a couple books and scoot down the hallway with them in hand for her mommy to read to her.
*She has her two bottom teeth, and is just around the corner from breaking through her upper front teeth.
*Orange is her favorite fruit
*She's newly discovered the joy of dripping milk from her bottle all over the ground, and rubbing it in.
*She discovered at a much younger age than Ephraim how to escape the pew trap at church. Yesterday all the sudden she was 3 rows back. Sneaky lil' thing!
*She has in the past few weeks developed a much more particular attitude about what she wants etc. Food and how its fed to her runs at the top of that list, but along with it are having the remote to play with, getting to pound on the computer keyboard, and turning on and off the T.V.
All in all she is an absolute JOY to have around and we ADORE our little Emeri. Happy Birthday darling. You grew up all too fast!
I can't believe your little girl is one!!! WOW! That's wonderful that she and her brother adore each other so much.
