Emily had her first birthday, and we celebrated by all getting sick. When we say sick, we don't mean a little sniffle, we mean a nasty stomach bug that will take you down! Emily got the party started by waking up on Friday covered in vomit. Mommy and Daddy thought maybe Emily had just eaten something that hadn't agreed with her. We were wrong. On Saturday, Emily's birthday, Mom started to feel sick around noon, and Kara started throwing up shortly thereafter. Daddy was able to hold it together through Saturday, doing load after load of laundry to keep everyone with clean clothes and bedsheets. Daddy couldn't hold out forever, though, and fell victim Sunday. Fortunately, Mommy was starting to feel a little better by that time and was able to keep everything together. Fun times, huh?
The following weekend, we did a re-do on Emily's birthday. Grandma and Grandpa came up, and we called Mimi and Papa on the iPad. Emily really enjoyed her cake. She didn't know quite what to do with her wrapped presents, but she eventually figured out how to tear the paper (not quite fast enough for Kara, though).
Emily has now mastered walking. She can move pretty quick these days. She has also been working on her communication. She can usually convey what she wants through grunting and pointing, and we think she might be close to saying her first words. She's said something that sounds a lot like "baby" (while looking at her Baby Beluga CD case) and "here you go" (when sharing her toys). It's amazing how fast they grow up!
