Big Steps

EMERY WALKS!!

Yes yes, you read it correct Emery has entered into toddler hood, officially. I was across the room enticing Em with a toy. Em stood for a few seconds and put one foot in front of the other two times! I was screaming, of course. She later took three more steps. Grady caught the end of those. She was walking in her crib before bath time. Aunt Court will be over tomorrow, so I'm sure we will get some on video and pictures, to be posted soon. My little girl is growing up... so bittersweet.

Here is a pic from her birthday party.

Good Tuesday!

This morning at 9am my sweet gril woke up with a smile!! She has been so fussy the past few days. It has been no fun. Here are a few pictures from this morning. I let Em have some snackies this morning, before her oats, she decided to share with the puppy. A good day for both my girls.

She's such a poser!


Needless to say the good morning was short lived. While I uploaded my pictures Em has transformed herself into the previously fussy baby. Can't wait til I go to work tonight!

One Year (sorta)

My fabulous sister got the honor of picking up Em's one year pics from Rie last night. I thank her so very much. She's also helped me out GREATLY with planning Em's first birthday. She even put together the invites. WE LOVE YOU AUNT KRISTY!! No seriously, Em LOVES her. The other night Em cried when Kris was leaving our house. I digress.

Kristy not only picked up the pictures but also posted them on her website for all to see, really me to see! So thank you so much Kristy. Here is the link.

The Pics Are In!

Em's ten month pics that is. Cherie' did this shoot in less than 30 minutes. It was hot and in the middle of Em's nap time. What was I thinking? But they turned out amazing! Cherie' as always did an amazing job and the pictures speak for themselves. Cherie' and her new hubby, Jeff, came over tonight and took Em's one year pictures! They should be amazing!

Here are a few of my favs.

She was not all about the tutu. But don't worry we made up for it in her one year pics.

My Baby is almost ONE!!

Holy Crap where did the time go?!? I'm ordering cake and decorations, having my sister make birthday invitations and a scrapbook. Time has gone too fast.

Em did start saying mamamama last week. She even says mama when she wants me!!! Music to a mama's ears. Here are some recent pics.

I was Tagged!

I was tagged by my sister and decided that I'd actually participate. So here are my answers but I'm not tagging anyone.

1. If you could change one thing about a major event in your life what would it be?

I can't think of a major event that I would change. The last major event was Emery's delivery and it went the way I wanted. Perfect. My mom was there, my brother made it back in town, and my sisters and dad were there. I even have some of the most amazing pictures from that day! Thank you Kari!! I don't think I'd change anything so far in my life.

2. What are five things you would do if you were a billionaire? I'd try not and let the money go to my head. I wouldn't want to raise a spoiled child or act like I was better than everyone else even though I already am :) Just kidding, I thought that was funny.

1.) Give a lot to church/missions

2.) Emery's college fund would be good to go as well as two more for future children

3.) Probably buy a house and a nanny (you can get nannies on ebay I think)

4.) Upgrade my car and pay in cash

5.) Have a huge savings for my wedding, vacations, and rainy days.

3. What are your three worst habits?

1.) I am so absent minded its not funny. I forget to do things all the time it drives me crazy as well as my mom. Hopefully it's not herititary

2.) I procrastinate. If I don't like to do something I'll wait until the last minute and do it real fast.

3.) I don't keep up with people very well. It's sad sometimes.

4. What are the three things you have to have within reach at all time (think bedside, car, etc.)?

1.) Emery or course to avoid someone calling the authorities

2.) My phone in case of emergensies

3.)Angel just because she's there.

5. If you could have any job what would it be and why? I'm actually very blessed to have my dream job.
I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. I even like my hours because they work (right now) for me and Em.

Here's a picture just because I haven't posted in a while.

She climbed up on the box all by herself! She loves to climb and go through, under, over, and squeez through the most random places. She's so much fun!!

So Big

I don't have pictures with me but I will start posting, ( I know, empty promises). She has gotten so big since my last post.
Here is a list of some fun things she is doing now:
--Pulling up on everything
--Can walk around furniture
--Can wave Bye-Bye
--When I say no-no she holds out her hand for her "spanking" (so sad)
--Loves to laugh and giggle
--She's eating big girl food. She's had her first Wacky pack and doughnut holes
--Love the book "that's not my puppy"
--Her favorite thing to do is push a ball and chase it. She'll crawl all around the house chasing balls.
She's so funny and is so fun to watch. I love her SO MUCH. I didn't know being a mom was going to be this great. She's such a good baby too. I LVOE HER!!
Pics soon
