The Wakley's: January 2012

Walking

Here is a little progression of Emery learning to walk. She started taking a few steps about a week before Christmas. So about 11 months old. She turns 1 on Tuesday and she walks everywhere and can stand up in the middle of the room. She cant quite run yet but she sure tries. I dont have a recent on of her walking. I will try and get one today and post it

Emery's 1st Birthday!

The last year has been the hardest but most rewarding year of my life. I cant believe my baby is 1! She already seems so grown up and learns something new everyday. She is so smart, and happy, and FUN. I love being her Mommy and she brings so much joy to our family.

She did pretty good with her cake. She went slow but dug in pretty good to her cake. I had to put a little in her mouth and then she realized she like it. She just sat there and stuck her hands in it and let us take picture after picture. She didn't try to get up and walk away which surprised me. Of course it did end how I expected, haha.

Emery Lately

Emery is getting so big and growing up TOO fast! She is such a happy baby and loves other kids and people. She will just go up to a complete stranger and want them to pick her up or sit in their lap. She gets into everything and loves pulling out all the towels in the towel drawer and utensil drawer. I seriously need to baby proof my kitchen. I have rubberbands around all the cabinets and I think its time to invest is some real baby proofing products. She has 7 teeth now. 4 on top, 3 on bottom. She is not a great eater. She usually will only take a couple bites of food and only if I am eating. But she does love her baba. She is learning how to wave goodbye and say hello on the phone.

She can go up and down the stairs all by herself, she also LOVES to go through purses. And not just mine.

Her best bud Tate. They get so excited when they see each other. The other week in church they saw each other from across the gym in the overflow and practically ran to each other and met in the middle

She will usually give kisses, but beware they are open mouth and slobbery

This is one of her favorite places to play. The drawer with all the towels. I probably clean up the towels 10 times a day!

Christmas 2011

I have not blogged in awhile and I feel like I have so much to catch up on. I am not going to write a lot of details, mostly just pictures which is what everybody likes to see anyways right?

So here is Christmas, my family came here because we had a new baby in the family. Kal was born about a week before Christmas. It was so great to have all my family here during Christmas and we did a lot of fun things together.

Emery got this doll for Christmas for her Great Grandma and she went crazy over it! She was talking to her and snuggling with her and rocking her. It was the cutest thing.
