Emme Claire 15 Month Pics

These pictures were taken by Baby Blues Photography in West Monroe, LA when Emme Claire was 15 months old (so a few weeks ago). I just love them! They turned out so good!


I love the silly face she is making here!

This is one of my favorites!


I love how her eyes look in this one!

This is my most favorite one of all of them!



I love this one! She looks so happy! :)



This is another of my favorites!

Spring and Summer Fun!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. Life has been busy. Seems like the older she gets the busier I get.
Emme Claire is about 14 1/2 months old now. She started walking about 2 weeks after her 1st birthday and she didn't cut her first tooth until after she turned one also. She now has 4 teeth (2 on bottom and 2 on top) and I can see where 2 more are trying to come in on the top.
She is growing like a weed and learning new things everyday. She is so smart! She learns things very quickly. Sometimes (most times) she surprises me with how smart she is. I'm a proud Momma!
She has her Daddy and myself wrapped around her little finger and she knows it!

I'm going to post a few pics from the last couple of months. In June we went on vacation. My mom and brother went with us. We went to Atlanta, GA for one night then drove on to the Isle of Palms, SC for five nights then we drove to Asheville, NC for one night and then we spent a day in Gatlinburg, TN and the last night we stayed in Birmingham, AL before heading back home. We had a good time and I wasn't ready to come home. We went to the Georgia Aquarium when we were in Atlanta and Emme Claire loved it! We stayed in a beach front villa in the Wild Dunes Resort on the Isle of Palms. The ocean was beautiful and Emme Claire loved the water and the sand! She also loved the pools at our villa. She played in the kiddie pool (shallow about 1 1/2 ft deep) and she also played in the big pool. She never wanted to get out of the water. We also got to see the city of Charleston while in SC. Then we went to Asheville to the Biltmore Estate. We had already been there in November when EC was 7 months old but my mom and brother had never been and since we were so close we thought it would be a good time to go again. When we left Asheville we drove through the Smokey Mountains to Gatlinburg and spent a few hours there before heading to Birmingham for our last night.

All these pictures are from our family vacation. I'll try to post more pics soon. Enjoy!











My sweet girl on the beach, as happy as can be!




We are going to have to take her to the beach at least once a year.

Emme Claire's 1st Birthday - part 3

Here are some pics that my best friend Bridget took at the party. She is also known as Emme Claire's Aunt Bridget. I think she took some really beautiful pics. Enjoy!
Sorry, these pics are all out of order.

At the beginning of the party when everyone was eating Emme Claire ate her first peanut butter & jelly sandwich (it was owl shaped) and she loved it!


At the end of the party. Emme Claire was exhausted!


Emme Claire at the end of the party all tuckered out!


Emme Claire being silly before we gave her the smash cake. She was ready for it!


This is her "quit playing around with my cake and give it to me already!" face! LOL!


Cake please!!!!


Oh no! What did you do to it? Now it's on fire!


Now that I have it I'm not sure what to do with it!


Yum! I'm figuring out what to do now!


This stuff is GOOD!!!


Can I have one of these every day?


She got a little messy but not too bad.


Emme Claire was upset when we took her cake away from her. She had almost eaten half of it!


After cake eating time was over she crawled around on the floor a little and I fed her some ice cream. She loves ice cream, any flavor!


Her adorable owl bloomers!
