(post written by Maile Lui per Emma's permission
)My life has changed dramatically over the past year. It has been AMAZING to watch my daughter grow up. I can't even believe how quickly the past year has flown by. My once 6 lb 10 oz baby is now a whopping 21 lb 1 oz and the dwarf that was once 18 1/4 inches long is now 29 1/4 inches long! She is walking (almost running) all over the place. She expresses her opinion A LOT.
Well, I started this post over a month ago and the previous paragraph was as far as I got. Emma is now already 13 1/2 months old and June is already over. Now that I am so behind on this blog, I can't possibly recall all of the things that have happened in the past month. So here are just the highlights. I hope to be better about keeping up in the future!!!!!Birthday party at Playtown....so much fun! Wasn't so interested in the Elmo cake.

Annoyed that Mom and Dad stopped her to take a photo!
Birthday girl at school with her awesome crown that she left on for a grand total of three seconds!

Brunch at Karl Strauss. She loves looking at the koi fish!
Now that she is 1, she is a great texter!

More park fun. She is finally starting to tolerate the grass! =)

Tristen's wedding at the Carlton Oaks Golf Course. Emma looked A-DORABLE in her fancy little dress!

Coming soon....a picture with all three of us looking at the same time! =)
Playgroup at Kayla's new house. Emma is dressed like a true San Diegan!
Followed by making friends at the Orange County BBQ festival!
She loved running around, talking to everyone and dancing to the music!

Balboa Park for a Father's Day picnic. Of course my little gymnast had to find a new way to ride in her stroller.

Running around is her new favorite thing to do. Sometimes she is nice enough to "let us" hold her hand. =)
