Last week our baby turned 1 :)) Jon had the day off work and we spent the morning opening presents and we went to Como Zoo for a little while (the same thing we did on Oliver's first birthday!). In the afternoon we had friends and family over to celebrate with pizza and cake! Like every 1 year old, Emily was a little overwhelmed with everything but she handled the attention very well and was so excited when she got her cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday. Since then she has been seriously working on her attitude and gets so angry sometimes it makes me laugh!! I have to laugh now because this is no doubt going to transform into the most almighty tantrums. She also has one more tooth (a total of 7 now) and is working on more. I had to give her some medicine before nap time today to get her to settle down :(
I think Oliver enjoyed Emily's birthday a lot - he was very willing to help her open presents (it is quite painful watching a one year old open presents) and he has enjoyed playing with them probably more than she has!
As with every first birthday comes the 12 month doctor's check up and we are going for that on Friday. I will update you all with Emily's latest vital statistics!

Completely in awe of the fire engines! This was taken at a "visit the fire station" play date.
He was even brave enough to stand on one and go inside :)

Emily seems to like cars almost as much as Oliver - phew!
