We took Emma in for her year old pictures today. I know it is a couple weeks early, but we had the time and the next two weeks are going to be pretty busy with her birthday party and work and going to see Elton John in concert.
Emma is such a sweetheart and she always smiles and enjoys herself. The photographer had her work cut out for her working with a lively little Emma. She took some wonderful shots though. Emma liked eating the apples (they were fake and has a few bites out of them now) and she wouldn’t sit still for anything. She was crawling towards the camera ever chance she got. She was full of smiles though.
Emma took 6 steps today. Of course this was when we wanted her to stand still for the picture, but she will be walking (well running) in no time.
We took Emma to the developmental screening yesterday. She is doing very well except she has some stigmatism in her eyes and she has one foot that turns in when she walks that we need to check out with her doctor. She loved all the people who was there paying attention to her. Everyone asked the same thing “Is she always this happy?” Yes she is… well not when you are not letting her do her own thing, but almost always. She did some things that are advanced for her age. That doesn’t surprise me at all!
