Christmas Day 2013

John and I were so excited for Christmas morning! We actually had to wake our little sleepy head up so she could see her Santa goodies! She didn't know what to think about it all and was unsure about all the picture taking. My Dad got his crew up at the crack of dawn so they could be there to see her open her gifts. We cooked a big breakfast and just enjoyed  watching E play!

Santa Loot: Little Tikes play house, PB anywhere chair, new backpack and luggage, sippy cups, bath toys, and books!

Merry Christmas, y'all!!!

 

 

Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas Eve at my Mamaw and Papaw's house is always a special time. This year was extra special because our sweet Emory was there! She had the best time and was spoiled rotten!

 

(I tried to rotate the pics, oops!)

 

 

Eleven Months

Bug, you are 11 months old!!!

I can't believe you will be 1 next month. Blows my mind! As you can tell, we just take what we can get when it comes to pictures. You would rather do anything else than sit still and smile!

 

I won't lie, this month was tough for us. You were sick a lot and you cut another tooth and this one wasn't so easy on us. You were very sassy this month. You threw a lot of fits and even did a little bit of hitting and pinching. I just wasn't so sure what got into my sweet, happy girl! I think we're starting to come out of it though because you have had much better days lately.

 

So, you now have your two bottom, front teeth!!!

 

You're still a super fast crawler and you walk around the furniture with ease. You're so proud of yourself too! You give the best open mouth kisses and you blow kisses to everyone! Bath time is your absolute favorite. You cry every night when we get you out. Your new thing is licking the bathtub water (like a dog). Silly girl!

 

Eating: Schedule is still the same. You're doing better with textures! You still love yogurt melts and puffs and would live off them if I'd let you. You tried cheese and green beans without gagging and actually looked as if you were enjoying it!

 

Sleeping: Still the same!

 

Sizes: Size 3 diapers and nighttime diapers. 12 month clothing and we moved to 12 month footed pajamas this month. Size 3 shoe.

 

Play: You're not really into any toys this month. You would much rather play in the Tupperware cabinet or with some kitchen utensils.

 

Pictures from this month:

Cheesin'

Cool cat in Mama's hat!

Playing with all of your cousins at Aunt CeCe's

Mohawk in the bath tub!

Waving your hands while I sing "If you're happy and you know it." This is currently your favorite song and you know exactly when to clap! We sing this all. the. time!!!

 

Happy 11 Months baby girl!



Thanksgiving 2013

We had a busy but fun Thanksgiving!

We started with the Weaver side for lunch. Emmy was in rare form so we didn't get too many pictures!

We then went to Mamaw and Papaw's house for dinner.

And then spent night with Pop and Lollie. We had another lunch with them the next day.

Holidays are always exhausting but we're so thankful for our big families!



50th Wedding Anniversary

My sweet Grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this month! I'm so thankful for the Godly example they have always been in my life!

My Mom and sisters threw a little family party for them at Onward Store.

 



RSV

My sweet girl got RSV :(

It was SO terrible.

Breathing treatments, fever up to 105, and constant coughing and wheezing.

I took off the whole week and we did a lot of snuggling. She didn't want to leave my side and I was ok with that!

It lasted a full week but we made it without a hospital stay, Praise the Lord!



Ten Months

Happy 10 Months sweet love!

 

 

You have been keeping Mama and Daddy BUSY this month! You crawl SO fast these days and you're pulling up on everything. We're constantly holding our breath because we don't want you to let go and hurt yourself although we know many bumps and bruises are in our future. You still love to wave bye-bye and blow kisses and you talk all. the. time. You have so many important things to say!

 

We have BIG news... You FINALLY got your first tooth! Whew! We were starting to worry girlfriend! It wasn't too hard on you though. You were more fussy at times but other than that we didn't notice much change in you.

 

You did get a pretty terrible diaper rash this month. It lasted a good two weeks and nothing we did made it better. We finally went to the doctor and he prescribed Silvadene, oral Diflucan, and Hydrocortisone cream which knocked it out in a couple of days!

 

I don't have real stats this month but I do know you're about 22lbs.

 

Eating: Your eating schedule hasn't changed this month. Still eating solids three times per day and taking about 25 oz of formula. You're a pro with a sippy cup and you LOVE water. You're still gagging over anything with texture. Except yogurt melts and puffs. Any mashed up veggie, noodle, or rice, you hate it all.

 

Sleeping: We moved bedtime up a little bit because you're just SO tired when you get home from daycare. You're now going down around 7:30 and you're asleep no later than 8.

 

Sizes: Size 3 diapers and nighttime diapers. Mostly 12 month clothing but you're still wearing 9 month footed pajamas. Size 3 shoe.

 

Play: You're still a fan of blocks and you really like your singing purple dog. You're starting to dance when you hear music and it's the cutest ever! Plastic kitchen bowls and utensils are favorites too.

 

Here's a few pictures from your 10th month!

Making treats for Mama's work party. You're such a big helper ;)

Daddy took us on a date night to Uncle's Bills in Flora. Aunt CeCe, Cousin Brittney, Cousin Chloe, Aunt Michelle, and Aunt Donna were there too!

Silly girl. You always put a smile on my face!

Standing up playing like a big girl!

Doing a little shopping with Mama.

We met Meme and Randy for dinner at Red Lobster and you loved their garlic biscuits! I don't think you have a texture problem, I think you just know what's good!!!

And we took our first "selfie" waiting in the Dr.'s office, haha!

 

I love you Emmy bug!!!

Happy 10 Months!
