Emma & Baby Roy News: Happy First Birthday Emma...and more...

Sorry it's been a while since we last posted! Since the last post Emma turned one! I can't believe that she is already a year old. She really has become her own little person. We had a great birthday celebration on Sunday November 22nd. I made her a little Elmo cake to dive into but she was actually quite reserved and didn't seem to know what to do. On her actual birthday Bryan and I gave her some more cake. She really enjoyed playing peek-a-boo with the Elmo paper plate.

At her one year check-up she weighed 21 pounds and was 30 1/4 inches long. Everything checked out just great! She's saying ma-ma and da-da, cup (or what sounds like cup), ga (for Gabby and every other dog) and more. We just got the letter from school that she has met all of the milestones allowing her to move on up into the next room - Young Toddlers! Her teachers tell us that she just explores all day and talks the entire day. She's a vocal little girl for sure!

On Saturday December 5th we went to Varner's Farm in Collegeville to pick out our Christmas tree. Emma loved looking at all the animals including the goats and horses. It was so hard to get her to look at the camera because she is so interested in the world around her. While the field was full of trees, we couldn't find the perfect tree. But Emma and Bryan did pose for a nice picture.
