Emily 11 months

My my what a big girl you are getting to be.  Happy 11 months to sweet little Emily!

Highlights of this month:

Kneeling up.  You are so cute as you crawl to something you like then kneel up to play with it.  Or when you crawl to mommy and then kneel up and reach for me to pick you up-oh melts my heart!  Or when you hear music and you go up on your knees and start bouncing and dancing.

You love to eat.  You eat pretty much any and every veggie, fruit, meat, bread that we put in front of you.  You still don't like cheerios unless we are out and about (and it's the only option) or mac and cheese (which is one of Savannah's favorites).  It's so fun to watch you enjoy your meals. New this month is the deliberate hair styling while eating.  You take one hand and run it from the back of your neck, all the way up and over your hair down to your forehead.  Or you take both hands and repeatedly wipe the sides of your hair.  Love you.

Oh sweet teether we can see four little teeth just under your gums up top.  They sure are taking their sweet little time to come through!

Double ear infections this month.  Welcome to your mommy's genes.  :(  We sure are glad you are feeling better!  You are a whole new baby since we gave you that amox!  Although your ears weren't affecting your sleeping or eating, you just weren't as happy.  You have been much less fussy now that your ears are clear-you were sick for a whole month.

We got your prosthesis refitted and recolored.  It looks great!  We go in to fit you for glasses this week-mainly to protect your good eye but it will have a slight prescription, too.  Here goes our next adventure!

Favorite game this month: CHASE.  You love to chase Savannah (being held or "walking" holding our hands) and you love Savannah to chase you.  You also love and SQUEAL and tense up your whole body when daddy says "i'm gonna get you!"  So CuTe.

You love to wave at everything that makes noise.  When a car starts, you wave.  When we are eating dinner, you wave.  When momma's phone rings, you wave. When we walk into the house, you wave.

Cute, cute, cute, little missy.  Happy 11 months to our favorite little Emily!

Emily 10 months

Miss Emily...you are 10 months and then some!  You are growing up so fast.

You love to point.  It's fun to see what you are interested in looking at or going to see as we follow your cute pointer finger.

You are becoming a little more adventurous eater, although you are still picky when something is slightly flavorless (like cheerios).  You much prefer a casserole or something with lots of spices and flavor!

Crawler, crawler, you love to crawl and one of our favorite games is to crawl around following a crawling mommy.  You're too cute.

We had two reunions this month and you got to meet ALL of your cousins and all of your uncles and aunts except Uncle Spencer who is on a mission.

You probably don't care but our insurance finally processed and approved a great chunk of coverage for your prosthesis.  Wahoo!

Your favorite game is to be flipped over.  You crawl up to mommy and put your head down on my tummy while I'm laying down and I flip you over...you laugh, roll over and come put your head down on my tummy again. So fun!

You do NOT like to lay down and be still...for a diaper change, eye drop, PICTURE (hence the slightly unhappy face and paci)...you just roll yourself right over and take off!

Love you sweetie!
