I thought I'd list some things you may or may not know about Emma:
She is passionate about life and gets so excited about even the smallest of things.
She loves to help me cook and bake. It's so nice!
She feels her emotions intensely--when she is happy, she's joyful. When she is mad, she's angry. You get the idea.
She loves new and exciting foods and has a very grownup palate. She much prefers artichokes or salmon to PB & J or cheese. She will almost always eat her vegetables before anything else on her plate.
She is the deepest sleeper I've ever met.
When she empties the silverware from the dishwasher, she makes up stories with all the utensils. Sometimes it takes her 20 minutes to complete this task, but it sure is entertaining to watch!
She thinks that eating sweets will make her throw up and asks me every time she eats a sweet if she's going to throw up (this I can use to my advantage).
She loves to watch movies.
She began reading a few months ago and will read for hours at a time.
She can be WILD!
She loves to hear stories about when Ben and I were little.
She loves art projects.
She has a talent for music. She can memorize songs quickly and easily and sings amazingly on-key for a little kid.
She likes to be bossy.
She is very compassionate and empathic, especially for a child so young. She loves to bring notes and treats to people.
She loves Ariel and REALLY wants to visit Disneyland and the beach.
Her favorite animals are deer and moose.
She doesn't like milk.
She is a great big sister.
She was born with a broken collarbone.
Her favorite dinner is shrimp scampi.
She is so fun to be around and can make us laugh so hard (like the other day when she couldn't remember the name of Little Caesars and called it "Little Tweezers").

Happy Birthday Emma! She is such a special little girl. Sunny loves when Emma colors pictures for her or drops a treat by. In her 3 months picture she looks a lot like Luke. You'll have to post a 3 month pic of Rachel so I can see if she looked similar also.
Thanks for letting us get to know Emma a little better. What a sweetheart! Shelli
Lots of cute facts. Happy Birthday Emma. Funny... Andrew was born with a broken collar bone too. I didn't know until his 2 week appointment though.
