Happy 1st Birthday Emma!

Its hard to believe our little girl turned 1 on November 6th. This first year has flown by, and what a wonderful year it has been! John and I have had the pleasure to watch her grow, mature, and develop the cutest personality ever! I miss those days when she would just sleep on my shoulder or wear those cute knitted booties from GG. These days Emma is strolling around with her walker toys, signing "baby" and "more," calling out "mama" and "dadda," and holding up 1 finger for how old she is! She's even developed a mini-attitude and she'll let out a grunt or grrrr if she doesn't get her way! I wonder where she gets that from? :)

Emma had a very very rough birthday week. Poor thing was very sick and has been through a lot for anyone, let alone a 1 year old. She wasn't up for much on her actual birthday, but fortunately she turned the corner for her birthday party on Saturday. Here are some of our favorite pictures from the weekend!

Future President?

Only 17 years and a few days until Emma can vote!

Happy Halloween!

The Little Lady!

Tonight we headed over to the Beatty's house for Emma and Isla's first Trick-or-Treat night. The girls looked too cute - a ladybug and a cowgirl! I can only imagine what next year will be like!

Lil' Buckeye

This past weekend we hosted our Warehouse party for the OSU/Penn State game. Unfortunately, the buckeyes lost, but Emma looked too cute! Here's a pic that Aunt Bec took! Have a great week!

Play time and pumkins!

This weekend we celebrated James' 3rd birthday at Bananas in Mason. Basically its an inflatable play center. Emma was able to jump, scoot, crawl and slide! She had fun with her cousin and his friends!

Today, we headed to Shaw Farms in Milford. Emma experienced her first hayride and she liked to play in the pumpkins. Here Emma is showing us her #1 choice for a pumkin!

First Steps!

Emma hit a milestone on Friday night when we were visiting with the Jeager's and the Conley's. Becky even got it on video for us! Take a look! She had quite the audience! Go Emma!

Strollin and Santa Fe!

Emma spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Z as John and I went to Santa Fe with his Mom and Dad for work! We missed her like crazy, but she enjoyed her "vacation" too! Emma was cruising with this toy - so we had to borrow it and bring it home to practice with it!

This is a self portrait on a hot air balloon ride! It was an amazing ride and a spectacular view! Santa Fe was a beautiful city with fabulous food, drinks, shopping, and culture!
