Happy 1st Birthday!


Princess on her throne -- she now boasts the skill of getting both in and out sans assistance.

We have mastered riding backwards. Riding forwards is another story.

Style maven in a dress made by Aunt G.

Acknowledging her adoring public.

Birthday presents came from Grammy and Grandpa Freeman!

In another Aunt G creation.

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon -- or playing with the box anyway. Thanks Grammy and Grandpa!

Birthday celebration, take 2!

The birthday girl on her big morning. Breakfast of choice: grapes and only grapes.

Sassing with the Zozz.

Sassing by herself.

Sassing with exuberance.

Sass abounds!

Daddy was on duty for her birthday but we forgave him anyway.

Checking out those gold bars. They look delicious!

Opening (and reading) presents.

Oh man!

Unwrapping was a precarious task.


Agreeable to the donning of a celebratory headpiece.

Shoes? Really, Mom?!

Mini birthday cake!



Make a wish!

So proud of Daddy for blowing the candle out like a big boy!

Shirt off and ready for the mess...

...which did not happen...

...because desserts are yucky!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Emma!

Proud to be 1!

Next Big Upload

I have about a million and a half pictures of Emma on her birthday that I need to upload -- until then, please enjoy the meager photos in the posts below that I took with my phone. Free time is currently lacking due to a certain 1-year old who has not napped in days. Now if you'll excuse me, my services are currently in high demand to build (and then destroy) a tower of blocks while simultaneously reading 2 books at once, of which we like to alternate 2 pages of one, then 2 pages of another, then back to the first.
