Emma's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby is one!! This first year went by faster than Adam's first year I think! It has been so fun to see the difference between my two kids and their personalities, and they are quite different! Today we had a little party at our house with grandmas and grandpas and her two bachelor uncles. It all started out with a birthday song in the morning.



This girl is so happy in the mornings, especially when sung to.



This is her Daddy's favorite hair style, so we do pigtails quite often.



Showing off her cool presents



A cake that is supposed to be a butterfly. Dear Emma, I will try harder next year to make a cake that doesn't look like a 2nd grader frosted it.



Her very own birthday cake



Testing.



My cooking passed the test of my 1 year old, she likes it.





She ate the rest of her cake that way. No hands digging, only plate up to face, in true oinker fashion. She may not seem very big, but she is my little piglet.



Emma is usually so happy, unless of course she feels that she has been wronged in which she will windmill whatever or whoever is closest (I need to work on that with her...) or cry the saddest cry I think I've ever heard. Full on uncontrollable, inconsolable sob. But she loves this little guy more than anything!



I constantly find her on his bed and them playing together on it.



I think this is one of my new favorite pictures. They couldn't stop giggling at each other.



And I finally got a good picture of Adam with out him cheesing it, so I'm posting it.

Happy Birthday Emma!

I think your cake looks awesome! And I'll have to agree with Matt, Emma looks darling in pigtails....and I think the picture of Emma and Adam smiling at each other on the bed is absolutely adorable. Seriously so cute!

One already!? No way! Seems like just yesterday I was coming up to see you guys after she was born. She is a little doll Jess. She just looks like the happiest little gal ever, always smiling. I SO love that picture of her and Adam. You should have it framed, it's so cute! Also, you did a really really good job on her cake. I'm serious. I need some tips on how to make these cute cakes. I want to make one for Elle's upcoming birthday.

I agree that the 2nd child's 1st year is going by much faster than my first! I love her pig tails too, super cute! I also love the pictures of them together. That is so sweet!
