Emmett's First Birthday!

My baby turned one year old today!  I can't believe a year has gone by, but at the same time I can't remember life without him.
Emmett has truly changed our lives. He pretty much IS our life now. And we couldn't be happier. 
He started out his big day by opening his presents. He loved it and only needed a little help!  
We put his entire cake in front if him to see what he would do. He was a little shy at first but he soon got aquainted with it and dug right in. 
After cake he took a long nap. And Lizzy, Aubrey, Hudson and I played red light green light and pin the birthday hat on Emmett. It was a blast. 
He is starting to walk. He can take up to about 5 steps, and he's so proud of himself when he does it.  We gave him a little walker and he has loved walking all around the house today. 
He is 31 inches tall and weighs 24 pounds.
His favorite food right now is probably scrambled eggs with lots of cheese. And he loves veggie straws and apple sauce. 
His favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus", and his favorite book is "I Love you Through and Through".   
He LOVES all music and any beat that he can dance to!
We go swimming every day and he is super comfortable in the water. Bath time each night before bed is his favorite time.
He loves playing with his toys and splashing around. 
Weston gets home at 10:30pm and every night he goes in and holds Emmett for a bit while he's sleeping. It's sweet.   
He loves anything with buttons he can push; phone, remote, piano. And anything he can grab; marker, pen, toothbrush, straw. He can always be found with one of these clutched in his chubby little fist. 
He smiles easily and his laugh is contagious! He gives big wet kisses. When he's tired he sometimes gets in goofy moods and will laugh his head off at ANYTHING we do!  It's awesome. 
Emmett is such a blessing and I love him to pieces.
