Emily's 1st birthday party
May 16, 2010

Emily is officially walking!

Emily has been taking steps for the past two months and just recently became an "official" walker. On May 17th, which was the day after her 1st birthday party she began to take off...and there was no stopping her.

Stay tuned for an update on both Ethan & Emily. I have a lot of catching up to do on here, but for now...enjoy this short video clip of my baby girl in action.

Best Uses: Dry Winter, Living Room, Nursery, Bedroom, Help With Ailments
Describe Yourself: Homeowner

I haven't had any of the problems/issues that other people have mentioned. I've been using it for almost a year now. I love that this humidifier is small and can sit on top of my daughter's dresser (out of reach). I also have the larger model, but I prefer this one. It definitely needs an occasionally cleaning with vinegar and water, but since it's so small it takes very little time. It really helps with colds, skin rashes, eczema, and allergies. I highly recommend it! In fact, I'm going to purchase another one for my bedroom.
