After 'commando crawling' for ages - Emmy is finally crawling properly - watch out, Jared!!

Boxing Day

The Coopers' Christmas 'do' was at Uncle Brian and Aunty Jan's place - Emmy was slithering around like a little snake - she started crawling properly two days later...

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Everyone came to our place to celebrate Grandma's birthday - Emmy was in the prime 'help Grandma blow out her candles spot' until a little hand grabbed Grandma and poor Emmy lost her spot!!

Our little teddy...

Jared looked so cute - in his teddy bear costume at the teddy bear's picnic day at Playgroup...

Our little girl!!!

Emmy arrived (induced 3 days overdue) on 30th May, 2005. She weighed 8lb 11oz and stared around at everyone with big bright eyes - we all love her sooooo much!!! Here she is at one day old all wrapped up in her snuggly hospital blanket, and again with her 'Oliver' bear at 1 week.
