Hello Family

I just wanted to let you all know that Emily passed her one year check
up. She weighs 18 lbs 11 1/2 oz. (9th percentile) Her height is
29". (25th percentile) and her head circumferance is in the 50th
percentile. The doctor said that she is walking extremely well. She
is still curling her toes a little as she walks but he figures that
will be gone by the time she is two. She was given a clean bill of
health except that I am to watch her weight. :) I knew that would be
expected as soon as I found out she was in the 9th percentile. In
three months if her weight goes down farther in the percentile ratings
then they will do tests to find out why she is not putting on weight.
He figures that its the difference between a liquid diet and now
having to digest solid foods. I found out that babies born with blond
hair and blue eyes have a higher percentage chance of suffering food
allergies as a child. (such as siliac's disease) He told us what
symptoms to watch for. Since my kid eats like a horse and is very
happy, I'm not too worried. He was a new doctor as ours is away with
an injury (concussion from playing soccer) so Emily showed off the
whole time we were there. :) I hope that you are all well. We love
all of you and think of you often.
Love
Tamara, Landon and Emily

Pictures of Emily's Birthday

Here are a few pictures from Emily's birthday. Sorry there hasn't
been an update from us recently. I, unfortunately, left our camera on
the plane on the way back from Christmas. So no camera, no pictures.
My parents were kind enough to take pictures of the party and I have
just gotten around to downloading them. For her birthday, we invited
her friends to come swimming at the local pool. Afterwards we used
one of the rooms next to the pool and had cake. She loved opening her
gifts and sharing them with her friends, Rachel and Josephine. :)
Enjoy!
Love
Tamara, Landon and Emily

PS The first few pictures are random ones of my brother Matt, my
nephew Ethan and my sister Naomi. The rest are random photos from the
party. Enjoy!
