Phil and I have been calling Emmett "E-Dogg" for a while now. I have no idea why - it just came out of one of us one day and has stuck. Jackson has picked up on it now and, since he has trouble with the "d" sound at the beginning of words sometimes, he calls him "E-Gogg" instead of "E-Dogg". He also calls ducks "gucks". We love it. :)
Anyway, Emmett turned one last Thursday!! Since we were still in FL and leaving the next day, we didn't throw a big birthday bash or anything. We just had a quiet little celebration with family at my sister's house. We ordered the cakes from our favorite really yummy bakery in town. A big chocolate one for the grown-ups and a little vanilla one for Emmett to tear into. Both were SO GOOD!
The birthday boy had a really fun day. He got to play with a balloon...
... and play in the sandbox with cousin Cameron...
... and sit outside in a grown-up chair...
... and go for a wagon ride with cousin Cameron...
... and sit on the kitchen counter while smoking a cigar... (just kidding, of course - but it kind of looks like it, doesn't it?)...
... and, finally, have his first taste of cake! He liked it more than Jackson did, but didn't eat very much of it. He mostly ate frosting...
We actually got some decent family photos that night. Probably because we had five other people there to make faces at the boys to get them to smile and look in the direction of the camera!
Emmett loved this card from my grandma, Mimi. He played with it for about 10 minutes!
This is what I got when I said, "Hold up your present and say cheese for Mommy!"
