emme is one

...so she actually turned one a month ago, but the photos of her eating cake weren't all that great because she was more than ready for bed.  Here's the re-do (besides, it was the perfect excuse to make another cake--this one smaller). 

This kid is awesome.  She has six teeth now (with a giant gap between those front two), scoots some on her tummy, is so very close to sitting and standing while holding on, and is eating chunky (level three) baby food.  She's come so far in just the last two months (a few months ago, I would never have thought she'd be so close to crawling and eating regular food).  That being said, we're still working on getting the blood drawn for the genetic tests, but that should happen very soon.  In the meantime, we're just enjoying her (and all the other kids)!  

love you all and thank you for the prayers, sara
