Just over a short year ago, our lives were blessed with the addition of a new granddaughter, Emma Lynn, who although she arrived early, it didn’t dampen our excitement or love that we had for her. Her first month was spent in the hospital, and once she came home, she fit perfectly into the lives of her parents, Sean and Jessalyn. Emma is their first child and let me tell you that these two new parents are amazing and naturals at this parenting thing!! I know that their roles as parenting didn’t start out quite as they expected, but they both stepped up to the task and didn’t bat an eye at what was involved the first month. Now, she’s over a year old and absolutely perfect!! She’s petite, but very mighty and likes to explore, and isn’t afraid to venture into “unknown” territory! She’s going to be an active and keep her parents on her toes!
For her cake smash, just a few days before her birthday, she was introduced to a cupcake, icing…aka…SUGAR!! Her first taste of the icing, she wasn’t sure about the texture, but continued tasting (and playing with it!)…and then we gave her a taste of the cake part, which she loved…absolutely LOVED and couldn’t get it in fast enough! It was so darn cute…and I must say, that the cake smash is one of my favorite parts of a one year old’s session…it’s such a joy to watch and a time that the little once can play with their food and not be told no!! Emma didn’t let us down, she made a good mess, really enjoyed her introduction into sugar and had lots of fun!
The cupcake was from Wanna Cupcake…I HIGHLY recommend them, their cupcakes are D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S…..
And…she’s done, ready to be cleaned up…and standing on her own for a couple of seconds…which will soon be longer and then walking…then the really busy times begin for her!!
BATHTIME…she loved it!!
Okay, I couldn’t resist the “naked buns” of this little cutie…all babies must have a few of these photos, for if nothing else to embarrass them when they are teenagers, but hopefully, to show just how darn cute they are!
Keep your eyes peeled for a post in the near future from Emma’s FIRST Birthday party…it was a blast and so fun to see her take it all in! Thank you all for indulging me with my personal posts, but I just can’t resist!
I couldn’t resist sharing this first photo with you…I’m sure that this is just the beginning of fun and games with dad and Hailey!!
As I said, ALERT…she was very awake and observing what was going on…as you can see, by her beautiful, sparkly eyes!!
This blanket and matching baby giraffe were SO soft…oh, how I’d love a blanket to cuddle up like this one!!
OH…so much hair…how lucky is she…seems like usually the boys get all the hair when they are born!! Can you see the “swirl” of hair on the right side of her forehead …good thing she’s a girl…and can manage that callac!!
She did like sleeping, all snuggled up in the baskets!!
Hailey is probably thinking…”why in the world did they put this hat on me…it’s already warm enough in here!”
So, Hailey is a quick learner…sticking her tongue out after her daddy showed her how!!
Maybe a tad tired….not really, it was just a teaser!!!
This ADORABLE Sock Monkey Hat was made by 
As I said, everything goes into the mouth…it’s part of the learning at this age…
