We celebrated Emmy and Riley's birthday on the 8th before Riley left for Basic. We had two parties. One with the Grays and one with the Spjutes. They were both a lot of fun. Emmy got 3 dolls along with lots of other awesome toys. This morning I made pancakes for Emmy while she wore her birthday crown. She ate three!! Then we went to lunch at Olive Garden with Grandma Spjute, Aunt Kaylene, Lucy and Uncle Jake. Emmy had breadsticks and an ice cream sundae she shared with cousin Lucy. I also found her getting into some birthday mischief pulling out the wipes...i always know when I didn't close the lid hard enough.
Emmy has been walking for just over a week! She has 11 teeth, 4 of which are molars! She is drinking through a straw as of yesterday and hardly ever takes a bottle. And she's potty trained!!! Just kidding, I only wish.
I am so grateful for Emmy and the special, sweet spirit she brings into our lives. I am especially grateful for her as Riley is away and I get to talk to her about everything I would usually tell Riley! Happy Birthday, Emmy! Mom and Daddy love you!
