On Sunday, November 29th, Emily turned 11 months old! It truly amazes me that we are already thinking about Emily turning ONE! I can't believe how fast these past 11 months have gone. They have been amazing and definitely all that I had ever dreamed of as a Mommy and more! Emily brings us so much joy and it seems like each day when she wakes up that her little personality blossoms a little bit more! It is so fun to watch her grow into being her own little person.
Emily is a little girl that is definitely full of love and tenderness for those around her. She enjoys giving hugs and kisses and snuggling with pillows. Since she is on the move now, it is pretty fun to watch her crawl across the floor and any time that she sees a pillow nearby she will crawl over to it, lay her head down and suck her thumb for about 5 seconds and then continue on to her next destination. What a sweetheart!!
Along with her love for her thumb and pillows she has learned a few more tricks in her 11th month:
~ She has learned to clap her hands. One of our favorite games is to ask her to wave and then ask her to clap her hands! She has gotten really good and switching back and forth between the two!
~ And Dooders has done an EXCELLENT job at teaching her her very first word, HOT!! And anytime you spend any time with Emily you are bound to hear it!! She LOVES to warn everyone about everything that is hot!!
~ She has always had a love for music, any kind it really doesn't matter she just loves to listen to it! The other day we found out she also LOVES Christmas Music....must come from Mommy....that is all we listen to at our house (along with church music) from Thanksgiving to Christmas. At breakfast a few days ago we had her in her booster seat and she was facing the fridge and the music was playing and she was just gently swaying back and forth and staring at the pictures on the fridge! She is just so precious! She melts our hearts quite often!!
~ She LOVES to pull herself up on EVERYTHING! Which also means she has gotten a few more bumps and bruises this month, but that is to be expected at this time in her life! And just recently she has also started cruising around the kitchen using her kitchen chair. The other day Micah was trying to help her out by switching her to his chair to walk with because it doesn't have a big booster seat attached to it so he thought she could see better ~ but apparently she likes HER chair, because she quickly scooted over to the other chair and switched back again!
Emily is a little bundle of joyful energy and definitely keeps us on our toes! She keeps us moving and thinking all the time! We are excited to celebrate her first Christmas Season with her too! Tonight we are going into town to pick out a Christmas Tree, so it will be fun to see how she reacts when that tree comes home and inside with us!! We will keep you "posted"!
But for now, here are some pictures from her 11 Month Photo Shoot!!!

Look How Tall She is Getting and Notice that she is propped up there all by herself!! What a big Girl!!
She loves to inspect small pieces of paper!! Look at that Serious Face!
Here she is with her favorite bear!! They have really grown quite fond of each other in the past 11 months!
She had to tell her bear all about her day!!
And since her day included a few tumbles, her bear was there for support!
Sunday was a beautiful day, but we got out just a little too late for our pictures to cooperate with us! But we did it anyway, because that is just who we are!
By the time we got around to taking Daddy and Emily's picture the light was really starting to fade.
Luckily we were still able to capture this tender moment!! Emily enjoyed telling Daddy all about her leaf!!
Family Shot!!
