First time on a boat

Ooh!  Water!!

And then the boat gets going!

Aah!!

**I will be adding more pictures soon!

Tunnel

Emma got a new toy this weekend...a huge tent with a tunnel!

She loves it!

Pulling up and taking steps

The other day, Emma and Mommy were in the living room playing.  

Mommy turned around and she she looked back, Emma was standing!

 She also started taking steps with her dinosaur!

Such concentration!

We've got a tooth

Finally, just a couple days shy of 13 months, Emma's first tooth popped through! 

The other day, I caught her chewing on the coffee table! 

 Now, if you ask her where her tooth is, she points and sticks her finger in her mouth!

It's Party Time

       All our friends and family came!

We had some yummy muffins and cupcakes.  Emma even had her own little birthday cake!

  

She wasn't too sure about everyone standing around her singing Happy Birthday!

First bite of cake!

Not too sure about this stuff!

Maybe I will try a little bit more! 

Just grab a big handful...

And shove it in!

Now I think I will just play with it

oooh!  presents!

Time for the water!

Almost 1 year old

We are ready to celebrate!

Daddy's Day

   





                                 

Swimming

What a way to beat the heat this summer....Swimming!!

Cars

After a busy weekend visiting family, we started our 10 hour trip back home.

About an hour and a half into the trip, we came across a drive-in theater that was advertising the upcoming movie, Cars 2. 

It was the cutest thing!

 Toe Mater

(Don't worry, Dad was back there holding her up on the car!)

    Doc

 The tractor that was "tractor-tipped" in the field!

                    And the little fork-lift, Guido!
              (They didn't have the little Fiat, Luigi)

(and again, we didn't let her sit up on the tire by herself.  Dad is holding her up!)

And then there was the firetruck, Red.  He is red in the movie (hints the name Red!)

but he is still super cute yellow!

Mack the truck!

We had such a fun time looking at all of the different characters!

I cannot wait for her to get old enough to see the movie and realize how cool these pictures actually are!!

 Now back on the road!
