Emmie at 1 Year and 1 Month

We are so thankful for another month that the Lord gave us with our sweet little girl!

Emmie's Words:
"Baby"
"Ball"
"Boow" - balloon
"Mama"
"Dada"
"Bye bye"
"Hi"

This month you:
-I have started feeding you oatmeal and cream of wheat for breakfast in addition to either waffle or cheese bread.
-You love to look outside through the front windows.
-I am finished nursing and feel a sense of accomplishment for achieving my goal.
-You know where your nose is.
-We played with bubbles for the first time.
-You know how to put your favorite play spiders "in" and "out" of the cup.
-You started walking by yourself with your walker.
-Your eyelashes are longer than Daddy's and the same length as mine. SO pretty!
-You will fold your hands when we say it it time to pray.
-While in the car, I got off the phone with your Daddy and you were holding up your "light" to "This Little Light of Mine" playing in the car. so cute!
-You love lemons.
-You are transitioning from one object to another (table to couch) while cruising.
-You are doing better on your sigh language - "please", "more", and "thank you".
-You said "Dada" the other night and then signed "please to him". It was so sweet he had to pick you up out of your highchair and love on you.
-You say "hi" alot when we walk into the room and when you see us in the car mirror.
-We have been practicing the terms "open" and "close" and what they mean.
-I found THREE one year molars in your mouth today. They had just cut the skin. 2 are on the top and 1 is on your bottom right.
-You are doing a little better on eating finger foods: chicken and pineapple are new this month.

I put you in pigtails for the first time.

When I find Emmie in our closet, she has Jeremy's children's tie around her neck. It is SO cute! And that oddly enough, it was a tie that Jeremy had on the first time we met at Wesley in Auburn.

Europe - Here We Come!

Last night, Jeremy and I just bought our plane tickets to Europe for our 8th Anniversary!

We are going to Madrid, Spain and Paris, France! AMAZING! We are so excited!
We are going this spring (I won't give more details for protection purposes) and
Emmie is going to be staying with both sets of her grandparents!

If you have been to either of these cities and have recommendations of a hotel to stay in,
tips for traveling in these cities, or have tips of things we need to do
(we do not like museums, so anything other than that would be great!)
send them our way please!



Also, here is a new pix of Emmie!

She is now walking with her walker all by herself.

An Overnight Date for Us!

Jeremy had the opportunity with work to go to Atlanta for a Hawks game and stay at the Omni Hotel. It was a special treat!

Emmie stayed with my cousin, Michelle Batson (and Ben too), for the night and she did great.

We slept in until 9am on Thursday and it was AWESOME! Jeremy also had a surprise for me and he took me to the Georgia Aquarium. It was great!

Emily's First Snowman!

Jeremy got off work early today to come home and build us a snowman. He used all the snow on the ground in the backyard, but Mr. Snowman turned out great!
