Just a few new photo's of Emma

Just wanted to share some new photo's of the little Diva.

What a wonderful Mother's Day

Well last year when I celebrated Mother's Day Emma was only 17 days old so it wasn't like she realized what Mother's Day was. This year however it was such a wonderful experience for me. It started on Friday when daycare had muffins for Mom, it was so cute and Emma was so excited to have me there for breakfast with her. Then when I picked her up she had made me a beautiful card and had a little present for me. Again she was so happy to give me her card and present. On Sunday Robert and Emma made me breakfast in bed and she was so cute, walking into my bedroom with another card and Daddy behind her with my breakfast. We all got ready and then headed to Newport for the day, where we flew a kite and had a nice walk as a family. By the time we got Emma and Pesky back into the car and pulled out of the parking lot, both of them were passed out cold. It was such a nice day and one that I will remember forever. Thanks Emma and Robert for a great day.

Swimming Lessons

Well as of last Tuesday Emma and Robert have been attending swimming lessons at the YMCA. They are held for seven weeks on Tuesday nights. Normally I am at work so I don't get to go but because I was on vacation I was able to attend yesterday's class. She was so cute and does such a good job for only being 1. Clearly I am a distraction when I am there so I will only be going back for her last class to see how much she learned over seven weeks. I think it is great that her and her Daddy get to spend some quality time together. Once she is done with swim lessons, Emma and I will be attending class at The Little Gym.

Happy First Birthday Emma Rose

I know it's not until tomorrow but we wanted to wish Emma a Happy 1st Birthday. We are so lucky to have such a healthy, smart, determined little girl. She has brought so much joy and happiness to every one's life in the past year it is amazing. We love every minute of everyday we spend with her and we can't wait until tomorrow to celebrate her first birthday. We are taking the day off to go to Sesame Street Live and have lunch in Boston, and then we have a big party planned for Saturday. So Happy 1st Birthday Emma, We Love you so much. Mommy and Daddy

Where has the last year gone

Wow, I can't believe a year as almost past since the day Emma came into this world. I am amazed at how quickly she has grown and how in the past 2 months she has developed quite a personality. One year olds are quite determined little people. She is such a joy and always so happy. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter and have a life filled with so much joy and happiness.

Emma's first trip to the ER and 2 stitches later

Well little Miss Emma had her first trip to the ER. On Saturday as we were getting ready to leave for Natalie's birthday party she tripped and fell over her blanket and hit the corner of the door hinge. Needless to say we did not make it to Natalie's party instead with headed to the ER. As most people know Emma is always happy and never cranky, you would have never known she just cut her above her eye open, except for the fact that she was bleeding. She was sitting in the ER playing like nothing every happened, that was until they called us in and told us she would need 2 stitches. They had to put her in this straight jacket type thing and the nurse, Robert and I had to hold her down. She cried so much and it broke my heart to see her like that. Now let's just hope she doesn't have a nasty scar. My poor baby, what can I say she has 2 left feet like Mommy.

What a wonderful Father

I just had to share this with everyone. You all know this but I needed to show you how much Robert really enjoys being a dad. Saturday when Robert came home from work he came in with a peach rose for me and by my surprise he had a red rose for Emma. She just melts his heart and you can see how much she loves him and how much he loves her. All though she is too little to remember this, I took this picture so that someday she could see how special she really is to her daddy even at 11 months old. He is just so sweet and loving, how did I get so blessed?
