14 months old

Emmaleigh is 14 months old. She is doing well no walking yet here. I'm not too worried cause she is really only 12 months due to being premature. She has been sick, but It could be due to her teeth cause there alot coming in but I got this nasal clean thing that works wonders at getting those buggers out so much better than the bulb. She seems to be feeling alot better since i cleaned her out with that. She is so smart. She is putting things together such as she knows pen is to paper and brush is to hair. she went tho a bag with a ton of things toys mostly and found the 1 pen and papter in there and tried to draw. She getting to cute and she is climbing on everything !! She can't walk but boy can she climb. Here some pictures of her tonight all wet hair sleepy girl getting ready for bed.

First Birthday party

9/15/08

I am more adjusted to her being one than I was a few weeks ago when she turned one I not so emonital, which is a good thing so I could enjoy her day more. I am still in disbelief that it been a year already, but I glad we delayed the party It gave us the time we needed to give her the party she deserved. I was a little stressed out after hurricane Gustav and have no power for a few days and the scare of Ike coming this way right on her party day, but we lucked out and didn't get hit I just hope everyone who was effected by those storms is doing okay we know all too well how stressful the storms can be.

We had her Party Sunday September 14 2008 at our new house. I spent all day and into the morning hours of Saturday and Sunday cleaning the house. Hanging pictures and making the house look nice for my family and friends. We woke up at 8am on Saturday and cleaned til 2am on Sunday, yes you read that right 2am ! then started cleaning again on Sunday at 9am got the cake and had everything ready to go with about 10 minutes to spare before the party. We did a Pink and Brown theme. she had a pink and brown dress with brown shoes and pink and brown hair bows even a pink and brown diaper cover. the whole Family had either pink or brown shirts. I had pink and brown table covers, plates, napkins, even a pink and brown picture from when she was born to her birthday displayed. I was every please with how everything turned out. I tried to get her to nap early that didn't work so she feel asleep nursing about 10 minutes before the party started. It worked out okay though everyone was running late and our adult guest wanted to watch the rest of the game on Tv and by then she was awake and ready for the party. She had her little cake which she wasn't too sure about. She got some cute clothes and some toys nothing too overwhelming I think our turn out and the gifts were just right ! She had a great First Birthday I'm please with how it all went and proud I was able to do it at my house.

Today is Emmaleigh Birthday. As strange as it felt a year ago to hold her in my arms on this day knowing she still have almost 2 months to go it feels equally as strange that today is her birthday. It wasn't like I had hoped. It wasn't a pretty day my plans for the park didn't happen cause it rained all day. We have moved into our new house I am thrilled to be here, but we are no where near ready for her Birthday party so that has been put on hold for a month her party will be September 14, 2008 closer to her due date than her actually birthday not that I would perfer it then it just we need the extra time. Today she had her one year check up which went okay she is 16lbs 8 oz and 28.5 inches which is weird that her birthweight was 4lbs 8oz and 17. 5 inches. After the doctor we took her out of lunch I got a few smiles, but she would much rather nurse than have solid foods, she cried when we sang happy birthday, she would much rather be at home then in the strange play land. After lunch she was worn out so we came home so she could rest and nurse. I'm now just totally amazed that she actully a year it doesn't feel real. I have this bitter sweet feeling of remember back to her birth and how it turned out so different than I had hoped as today has as well. I feel somewhat of the same disappointment and happiness tied into one. It very hard to explain I am total thrilled to have this perfect amazing little girl in my life who has done so well for all the bumps she could have and has come along the way. Having her premature I never thought I make it a year nursing her, but here I am a year later still nursing her I am even happy to be one of the lucky ones who have made it a year with out a period that one thing Inever thought would happen. I am thrilled to have bought a house and have such a loving husband and father and 5 wonderful kids 3 boys and 2 girls I don't know that I could ask for a more perfect family I am a tad bit sad that she is my last little one to turn one. I am grateful to ever moment I have with her. I can't belive how wonderful she is. She makes us laugh so much. She is such a cuddled and loves to nurse and it such a wonderful bonding time, but she is starting to enjoy solids she will get on her knees and dance and beg like a puppy dog now it so cute and she hold her hand up and dance alot now and the faces she makes when trying new things is so funny. I guess what I am trying to say is I am truly bless to have such a wonderful baby girl in my life and that she pick me for a mommy happy Birthday baby girl !!

Happy Birthday Emmaleigh! Can't believe how big she is. I am wondering how Daniel will react next month when I can start feeding him solids. Kinda makes me nervous. I love the nursing :)
