One of Emma’s favorite things to do is “show” Mia her crackers. Mia’s head looks like it’s going to explode, but she never takes the cracker from her. Today we played “show me the cracker” in the backyard.

Emma discoveres the joy of the backyard sprinkler on a warm Santa Barbara day. She had such a blast learning about how the sprinkler moved and how the water sprayed. You can see pictures over at Flickr.

At almost 16 months, Emma likes to climb and dance. Daddy will admit it wasn’t the smartest thing to let her climb on the chair, but it was really cute.

Emma celebrated her 1st birthday on january 31st 2009! We had a small gathering of our west coast family, some people from Mommy’s PEP Group and a few other friends. Emma had a great day and we enjoyed watching her play with her new wagon, eat cake and open presents!

This was an experiment on all levels. First, it was Emma’s first Christmas and we wanted to capture it. All of it. So, Daddy pulled out the camera during the five days of Christmas in five towns, two states, and two coasts. Second, it was Daddy’s first time shooting video and stills with his new camera. It’s needs work, but you get the idea.

Happy New Year!
