Reading with Daddy

In the evenings after daddy gets home from work and dinner is over, Emma gets to settle down with her daddy for reading time. Daddy makes the most wonderful animal noises which makes it that much more fun.

Emma looking out her Window
Emma isn't tall enough to see out her window so I put her up on her toy box the other day so she could get a good look. I have since moved the toy box to her closet, because I know she will start climbing soon and I don't want her to have access to her window.

On Grandpa's Yacht





It was the first sailboat race of the year, so Emma and I decided to take Daddy down to Grandpa's yacht. They were all very busy getting the boat ready for the race, but that didn't stop Grandpa from taking Emma on a stroll around the deck.

Emma Turns 1!!

Emma turned 1 on January 25th, 2008. We had a family dinner at a restaurant called Islands. Grandma and Grandpa Litzenberg, Aunt Andra and Kevin, and Michael (the godfather) all came to celebrate with Mommy and Daddy and Emma. We totally forgot the camera so we don't have any pictures to share, but we did remember to take a few pictures at her birthday party the next day. We had a host of wonderful friends that came to give Emma there very best wishes. Emma had a blast with all the people.
Emma just learning how to walk just two days prier to her party would get so excited that she was walking that she would have to stop and clap at her job well done.
A lovely crown for the birthday girl from her Aunt Andra
Grandma ordered the cake special from the same baker that made our wedding cake, she also had it made with the same flavors too!
Everyone gathered to sing to Emma her first happy birthday song
Emma wanted to play with the little flame more than wanting to blow it out
At first, Emma wasn't much into eating her cake as she was playing with it
She finally took the dive, but didn't get much in mouth
Emma had fun opening her gifts, she seemed more into it than she was at Christmas. But I still think she prefers to just play in the wrapping paper and ribbon.
