Emma went to her friend Jeffrey’s birthday today at Tucker’s Grove Park. When we arrived there was a giant bounce house. At first, Em was scared. Then, after a few minutes she started to warm up to the big Elmo plastered on the outside of it. After a few more minutes she decided she wanted to go in and try it. For the next hour, we couldn’t get her out!

After five long weeks, Emma got her cast off today. She actually handled the loud cast saw really well and was more curious than anything. She never ceases to surprise and amaze us.

I realize I am incredbly biased, but I think this girl’s some real talent for music. She’s 19 months old and has a broken wrist - yet, she is playing some darn good piano.

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 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!
