Emily Gets Bloodwork Done

Since I can't handle bloodwork really well, Jim took off work and went with Emily & I to get her bloodwork done.

She was not happy and cried A LOT...it didn't help when they had to stick her in both arms.

We took her out to breakfast to make up for it.

Of course, right after the blood draw she was all smiles!

Emily's First Birthday Party!

Today we had Emily's birthday party! It poured!!

Jim & I had a bad feeling about that and rented a huge tent! It was nice to see friends & family! We had about 40 people sharing this special day with us! She got such wonderful gifts and we all had a great time!

No More Bottles!

Although I had been giving Emily a sippy cup for all feedings, she would still get a bottle at bedtime.

Today is the first bottle-free day! She is doing soooo good with the sippy cup!

She's One!

I can't believe how fast the past year went! It seems like just yesterday she was born.

We met Jim at work then went to the Doctor. She had to get a few shots and found out she'll have to get blood work...this really does NOT make me happy! Then, we dropped Jim back at work and to make up for the shots, we went shopping at Babies R Us!

Happy Father's Day! And we have 2 teeth!

Emily grabbed my finger and of course put it in her mouth. I noticed that Emily now has 2 teeth!!

My parents came over for dinner to celebrate Father's Day and Jim's parents joined us for dessert! They all loved their gifts!

Our "Real" First Outing...

Jim & I had a wedding to go to today, so we dropped Emily off at my parents house. Jim's cousin Jen was getting married. We could bring kids, but we decided not to bring Emily.

It was out in Long Island and it was a beautiful wedding. We all had a lot of fun!

When we got to my parents, they looked...tired! Emily is a handful to be with, but she's a lot of fun! I know she had a wonderful time with Grandma & Grandpa!

We Have A Crawler!

Today, 8 days before her 1st Birthday, Emily finally figured out how to crawl!

Poor Bonita! She has no where to hide now!
