Step by Step

We are trying our hand at the walking thing...what a hoot! So Emma took five steps by herself on sunday night. Ever since then we have been taking a couple here and there. She thinks it is funny to take a couple of steps and then dive forward (no fear on her part, I on the other hand am working on more gray hair!) into your arms that are suppose to know when she is planning this graceful move. Changing too fast... now my half way job of child proofing everthing is not going to fly.... guess we will be asking Grandma to babysit so I can get my act together!

We are planning Emma's First Birthday Party! It has a zoo animal theme. Very cute. So we are planning cake and ice cream at our house on saturday and then we are taking Ms. M's to the Woodland Park Zoo on that sunday. I can hardly wait. She already Barks like a dog and makes monkey noises (thanks dad!). Needless to say she absolutely loves animals and I can hardly wait to see her little face and all the wonderful expressions when she sees the zebras and monkeys and so on and so on.... Maybe I needed the trip to the zoo!

I'm grateful that the weather has made a turn for the better and we have been outside everynight after work for the last two weeks riding bikes and taking walk/jogs. Emma loves this and we get out of the house and get some exercise!

Hope all is well with everyone...especially my family in other states that we don't get to see much.... We will be heading to Kansas in June and I can hardly wait to catch up with y'all! Love ya!
