Emma is 1!

Emma turned one a week ago but because she was sick we postponed her birthday party until Sunday. My how a year flies by! She is growing so fast and I now have a toddler. Where did my baby go?? She was a little shy since everyone was staring at her but she warmed up by the end. She opened some nice gifts from everyone and then we sang to her and she got her own cake. She didn't mind digging into the frosting too much but she didn't really want to eat any of the cake. We left her there with her cake while we were serving cake to everyone and she started to look like she was going to fall asleep! I'm so glad she feels better and was able to enjoy her party.
