1 Year Old!

Emma turned 1 year old on Thursday. Insert tear here! We are celebrating tomorrow at Nana and Papa's house. My camera is having trouble up loading to my computer so I'm not able to post pictures. Although I can post her pictures from Alicia Beasley Photography. She put the wrong name up at the top....oops. Enjoy. Also when viewing the photos type in our email raftelisfamily@bellsouth.net so you will not get updates.

10 days

In 10 days our little Emma will be 1 yr old. It's really kinda making me sad! They grow up in a blink of an eye. People keep asking if we will have more and I keep saying "if it's Gods will". I just think it's such a hard decision to say no more kids. Scott is at that point...but I'm not. This is probably why I don't want Emma to grow up because she could possibly be our last baby. Today I threw out most of her bottles. I'm not going to lie I did save some maybe to just hold on to he hope that a few years down the road there will be one more Raftelis baby.

Emma now has no more bottle and no more formula. Formula is one thing I will not miss buying. She eats mostly all table food and I'm trying to get her on a schedule where she is eating 3 meals a day with a snack in between. Emma finally has her two bottom teeth! She still is just crawling and pulling up to her knees but is in no hurry to start cruising.

Our Little Princess

So 2 1/2 is definitely a tough age, but also a fun age if that makes any sense. Rileigh is really into all the Disney princesses right now. She knows all of them by name and our house is covered with them. The last couple of months The Little Mermaid was her favorite but yesterday at the store she wanted to get the Sleeping Beauty dress. Everything we own from her potty seat to her tooth brush is princess. Rileigh also enjoys everything that goes along with being a princess: fingernail polish, shoes, jewelry, make up. Wow are we going to be in for a treat when she is a teenager.
