Emily has a book called "Emily's Balloon." It is a very cute story about a little girl who makes friends with a helium balloon that her mother tied to a spoon (so it would not fly away.) Emily's balloon in the story is yellow, but check out my little Emily with her pink balloon at her birthday party. This is too funny!
PARTY!
We had a birthday party for Emily in Charleston this weekend. We were fortunate to have Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Nathan host our big event. Grandma and Grandpa Heintz came along with Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Nathan, Ben, Lauren, Patti and Nancy. Much fun was had by all. After watching her enjoy the turkey hat at Thanksgiving, I was pretty sure a birthday party hat would be a hit. I was right. Plus, look how cute the little hat is!! As you will see from these pictures, Emily actually picked up her piece of cake and ate it this time. Grandma Heintz also gave her some ice cream. So she had the full birthday experience. As you can see, she also got more presents! She got more toys and clothes. Again, she was much more interested in her new toys than the clothes...except for this one pair of socks. She loved this one pair of socks... I just don't understand how she could not LOVE clothes...now I have to question whether she is really MY baby. I must teach her the wonders of the shopping mall. Luckily, Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Nathan bought her "My First Purse" so she is well on her way to learning!
Emily's Birthday!
She's ONE! Emily turned one year old on Wednesday, December 10. We celebrated that evening by having her favorite meal - mac-n-cheese - followed by a yummy cupcake with pink frosting. She did not really eat the cupcake or the frosting (daddy now questions whether she is really his baby). In fact, she got pretty upset that the frosting would not come off her hands! She cried shortly after the photo above was taken. Immediately after the cupcake we had to hose her down in the bathtub. She had frosting everywhere! After a bath and pajamas, we opened some of her presents. We also saved some to take to her party in Charleston over the weekend. She had a great time opening the packages and really, really loved the bows! She got some new clothes, books, toys, a Target gift card and a nice warm crib sheet for her bed. Surprisingly, she was not nearly as excited about the crib sheet as she was the little talking big toy and pull-along snail! She had a big time with her gifts. Good thing she had a few days to rest up before her party in Charleston!
