Emily Phelps
She has a new purple swimsuit now, with floatie panels in the front and the back.
Between that and the arm floaties, she can swim on her own now
with no help from Mama or Daddy!

Here are the first pictures of our new apartment in North Portland. I know most people don't care much about the apartment itself - you all are just waiting for pictures of our beautiful girlie. So, without further ado, here is Emily in her new home on the Columbia River.
Ok, so Emily's not in this picture...we're getting there.
We took Emily to the Lubbock Arts Festival on Saturday, and she had a great time! She didn't even object (much) to being in her stroller the whole time. She got very excited about the model trains. She kept saying "chugga-chugga choo-choo!" (That's the picture in the top left.) She looked at lots of pictures, and listened to music. She even got out of the stroller and danced while the band was playing, and after every song was over, she clapped her hands and shouted "Hooray! We did it!"
Our rosebush in the backyard is taking off again. When we went outside to play, it had just one red rose on it. Emily learned how to smell the flower, and how to be careful of the thorns.
So we're going to the grocery store after picking Emily up from "school" - and when I opened her door to get her out of her seat, I found that she'd been amusing herself with a pen along the way!
This is nothing, actually - you should see her baby!
It was a small gathering, but you'd never know it by the mountain of presents!
We all had cake and ice cream, and Emily didn't have to have a bath with all her clothes on this year -
by now, she knows what cake is and what to do with it!
She got a Sesame Street Alphabet Bus from Nana Jo & Grampa.
They took her to Toys R Us and let her play, then bought the toy she played with most!
She also got a cool little bowl with a spoon & fork from Aunt Meaghan & Uncle Michael.
She really liked trying these out - they're just her size, and they have fishies on them!
