Butter Sausage!: Happy Birthday Emma!

Today is Emma's first birthday. We didn't throw a party, but we did take Emma to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis for the first time (hers AND mine!). We also had some friends (and their two little daughters) of ours along for the birthday fun. A wonderful time was had by all of us, but most especially Emma. After a quick stop at a few exhibits, we headed for the playscape where we spent the remainder of our visit. Emma loved interacting with the other children (read: trying to steal their toys) and playing with all the toys. She climbed, pressed buttons, crawled through tunnels, played in sand, and splashed in the water for an hour and a half. We might have stayed even longer, but I took Emma out of the play area to change her diaper and she almost fell asleep on the changing table. I didn't want to wait until she was crabby and miserable before we decided to go home, so Daddy and I scooped her up, did a quick tour of the robots exhibit (Daddy wanted to see it, and it helped to let Emma wind down a bit) and went home. Emma is sleeping at the moment but we're planning on either having a nice dinner out with friends, or a quiet dinner here at home. She might not get cake for her first birthday, I am pushing for Daddy to take us out for ice cream!

Here are a few pictures of the day's highlights:
