Happy First Birthday!!

Emery's first birthday was a great success! Thanks to all who came and helped to make Emery's big day festive and fun! It was great to have so many kids here for Emery to play with, they were so cute together! We had a couple of cows, a couple of kitty cats, some scary undead, a cheerleader and of course a little fairy tale too! Emery had a fun filled day and was super pooped by the end!

It's so crazy to me that its been a full year already! But its also weird to think that last year at this time I was laying in a hospital bed trying to get that breastfeeding thing down and being in awe of the cutest, sweetest little thing I had ever seen. It's been a crazy year since, but so worth it in every way. I look forward to all of the new milestones I will get to see him conquer in the next year. Go Emery go!!

Check out those utters! 

The farmer, the cow and the frog- oh my!

The Princess, the Prince and the Frog- what a fairy tale... 

Better one of Mom and Dad, Emery's about had it with the picture taking though! 

Squatters. 

Scary colored vampire teeth!! 

What a cutie pie! 

Emery was very interested in those teeth of Nina's! 

Mooo... 

Mom helped out a bit on the unwrapping of the presents.. 

 

 

 

 

Still needed a bit of coaching, but Emery got the whole present unwrapping down pretty good for a first timer- that is until all the unwrapped gifts began to distract him! 

 

Mom and Dad trying to get those darn toys out of their boxes- what a pain in the a*#!! 

 

Emery's first dive into the yummy birthday cake that his Great Aunt Joyce made for him. Max was pretty interested in getting his hands on some too!
