Happy Eleven Months Birthday, Emmie!

Emmie,
From Monthly Growing Photos


Merry Christmas Eve! It is a very special day today and also the day you turn 11 months. We have had such a fun month with you, once again.

This month you have:
-You are 18.5 lbs. and 27.5 inches.
-You can repeat noises we make: a buzzing bee, sssssssssss, clicking your tongue, etc.
-You can mimic words that we say like: red, yellow, bellybutton, diaper, mickey mouse, and tada.
-You had your first Thanksgiving and we were in Bristol, TN with G'Mom, Grampa, Aunt Jen, Uncle Chad, Molly, and Leah
-Your first Thanksgiving meal was a WHOLE croissant roll. All by yourself!
-When we give you your brush to play with and a phone you put them by your ear (so smart)
-Your first favorite song is "If Your Happy and You Know It!" When we sing it you smile big and start clapping.
-CRAWLING! You have mastered this and are an official crawler.
-You got sick this month and you were so sad. You had a sinus infection and went on an antibiotic, Amoxililin, for it.
-You went with Mommy and Daddy to get your first Cmas tree and you put the first ornament on it.
-You have started laughing at things on your own that you think are funny and make you laugh.
-You will hand us book to read to you.
-You went to the mall to take your first pix with Santa. You did great and didn't cry!
-We put Cheerios in your bib and you ate them. It was so funny!
-You moved up to the crawler room at church.
-You started having 10 min. of "room time" to play safely by yourself.
-You are really good at playing peek a boo. You will even keep the blanket on your head for a few min. and just waiting - laughing at us until you pull it off.
-We have started telling you "no no" and we heard you saying it while you were going to bed one night. too funny!
-You started using a snack trap.

This Advent Season has been so special. I have enjoyed celebrating the birth of our Savior with you each day. We had a chain link that had little activities for you and I to do together. We got to read scripture, dance, sing, and play instruments together. We made wonderful memories together.

I love you!
Mommy

Christmas Traditions as a Family

We are loving doing all these 1st with Emmie as a family. What joy it bring to our hearts!

Going to get her first tree...
From Emmie at 10 Months


As we were decorating the tree with lights, Jeremy decided that Emmie's exersaucer needed to be "pimped" with lights too...

Emmie put the first ornament on our tree this year. It says "Emmie's 1st Christmas" with her hand print...

Checking Santa out! She did great! Modeling the dress that my mom smocked for her (and her 2 cousins have matching dresses too!) Thanks, G'Mom...

Here is the professional one. We were so surpised that she didn't cry through sitting on his nap. YEAH!

OFFICIALLY Crawling Now!

As of yesterday morning and afternoon, I would have told you that Emmie was not really crawling yet b/c she was not moving her knees at all....WELL - last night for Jeremy and I she went 9-10 crawls. (Is that what you call it?)
From Emmie at 10 Months

She still enjoys sitting up and playing for now, but I am sure that won't last for much longer and she will be on the move all the time. Also, as of now, she doesn't like to crawl on the kitchen tile. She just sits at the edge of the carpet in the living room and tile in the kitchen and just pats her hands on the tile.
From Emmie at 10 Months

Sweet times! We are so blessed that our daughter is healthy and able to crawl. I love how the Lord develops her mind and her wheels turn so that she can accomplish new things!
