Emerson's Birthday Bash

We had a great little get together for Emerson's first birthday, lots of friends and family around!

Emerson helping open her presents! Honestly she was more interested in the paper, than what was inside.

On her little pony that Grandma and Grandpa Wood got her

Emerson with her first baby doll from Great Grandma Shirley

A little freaked out from the singing I think

Finally enjoying some of her cake.

With our good friend Nicole

Carden Elizabeth and Emerson, checking each other out!

Beach Birthday

For Emerson's first birthday we decided to take a beach trip, we've lived in AL for almost 5 years and haven't gone to the beach and besides, what better excuse than a first birthday! I found a great place online, right across the street from the beach, it was so easy, if we forgot something it was a two second run back to the house, it worked out great! Emerson absolutely loved the water, she thought the waves were great, but unfortunately she was not a big fan of the sand, and you can't really get away from it at the beach!

Her first feel of the sand, and she's not a big fan!

She loved being "down" but didn't like that stuff that stuck to her

The best of both worlds, she's down and not in the sand.

Some nice gentleman stopped and took our photo

The ever so famous "self" family portrait!

The beach birthday cake, she didn't want any part of

Getting Close to Having a Walker

This video is cute, Emerson is pushing a toy along the kitchen floor, and yes this is one of her Birthday presents. In fact she's been playing with a couple presents that are still in their packages, does that make us bad parents? I mean she will officially get to open some this weekend!

How cute!

I went to the Dr. this morning and here is the latest photo of the newest Bohan, getting bigger! It was great to see the little arms waving about! Everything is going along great!
