11 Months

Can you believe its almost been a year since Emily has come into our lives! She is becoming such a big girl. She is starting to eat a lot of solid foods, since she has 8 teeth, she cut her 8th tooth last week. She loves to eat grilled cheese, fresh fruit, cooked vegetables, and pasta. Emily is now using a fork, and enjoys to feed herself. I have started to give Em a sippy cup with a straw which she learned to use in one sitting. We are also switching her to whole cows milk, so exciting, no more formula!!
Emily loves to crawl everywhere, and hold onto furniture or her toys so she can walk. She has also become a little climber, she climbs onto everything, the couch, stairs and boxes, she even climbed into the bathtub while it was filling up with her clothes on. haha! She can stand alone for a short time but no steps yet. She loves to clap, wave and even give me a high five. Emily is also getting more hair, and it is still red and becoming curly.
We are looking forward to her 1 year birthday, and to see what adventures come next.












Emily and her friend Sienna!

Halloween Weekend

Emily had a fun first Halloween. Yesterday Em got dressed up in her outfit and went to a few neighbors houses to trick or treat! She had a great time. Today Emily and I drove to visit Aunt Gabbi, Aunt Jodie and Colton and a few other friends. We had a BBQ, Em crawled around outside and has a scratched up bruised leg but she didn't stop! Emily was happy to see Colton, he is a future boyfriend, and sooo cute! Emily was so tired she fell asleep with in 5 minutes of leaving.
