Emma's Grace

Well, I had to give a great big thanks to Aunt Katy!  I don’t know what it is about her, but she has a way of getting my kids to do stuff every time we see her.

A long time ago, she worked with Matthew over an Easter weekend.  The next day we were home, he crawled.

This past Easter, we wondered what she would do with Emma.  The next weekend, Emma got her first tooth.

On the 8th, we had Emma’s first birthday party.  Aunt Katy came along.  It was the first time we have seen her since Easter.  Aunt Katy did it again.  the following weekend, Emma got another tooth.  We’ve been waiting for this tooth.  Her gums have been red and swollen for weeks.  I didn’t think it was ever going to show up.

Then Saturday morning I stuck my finger in the trap her mouth.  There was the gigantic sharp tooth that bites me every once in a while.  But there was a shorter, sharp thing in there next to it.  Sure enough, that tooth not only poked through, but was sticking way up.

Nice job Aunt Katy!!!!  Can we arrange a visit every couple of weeks?  Maybe they will all come in faster than one every 3 months.

I’d include a picture, but have you ever tried to take a picture of the inside of a squirmy baby’s mouth?

Well, it seems like it’s been forever, but it really hasn’t.  Here are the pictures the photographer took of Emma.  These are only the proof pictures.  So they aren’t big and they aren’t high-quality.  They’re just for looking at.  The photographer was amazing.  Him and his son took a huge amount of pictures.  The ones that I’ve seen look really nice.

For the this picture, he kept calling Emma’s name and she doesn’t really give the usual response of turning her head toward you and focusing on you.  So I told him that she wouldn’t really do that for him and he just said ok and worked with what he had.  This is right after we put her dress on her.  I waited as long as possible to put that dress on her.  I was afraid she’d spit up on it or something.

Here she is just before the ceremony.  I loved the hair bow and normally I can’t stand those things.  Her dress was perfect.  Thanks to Aunt Crystal for that find.  I almost didn’t have to do any work for the kids to be in the wedding.

Here is Emma being held by Grandma, standing next to one of the groomsmen.  Since Emma can’t walk herself down the aisle, Grandma carried her.  You can’t see her cute little shoes in this picture very well, but they are a very light pink with beaded flowers all over.

Here is Emma and Grandma at the reception.  I turned around and the photographer was snapping so many pictures of the two of them.  You could tell he loves taking pictures of kids.

Here is (from L to R) my sister Kim (pregnant, due in July), my Aunt Connie, the bride Crystal, my Mom, Emma being held by me.
