Teething

It sucks. Poor Emery is getting a her third tooth in the last week coming in. This time this meant 4:45am wake up call. No person should start there day this early. She was bawling so it required some cuddling in our bed. She fell asleep for awhile but unfortunately for me I did not. She was fine come 6:30 but this mama is dragging today.

 

I'm praying this tooth makes it way through today and I have no more early wake up calls this week!  

Daddy's Girl

Cam started he's new job this week. He had two weeks at home with the kids. After day one he said he didn't know how SAHM do it. God love him, he did great and the kids loved having him home. Especially Em. She has become such a daddy's girl.

   

Blog Today

I really wish I could do this blog justice and actually write on it but it's easier for me to just update with pics or a video or a thought or two. So that's what this will have to be for now.  

It snowed today. Second day this week. I got to go out and play with my boy. He insisted on using a real carrot for his snowman's nose. He wanted it be just like Olaf from Frozen. Me too kid, Olaf was hilarious.

8 months!

Well I better get this 8 month post done before Emery turns 9 months Sunday…geez. It completely slipped my mind. Emery is any easy fun all smiles baby girl. She is really blossoming into her own. She loves to play with her brother more than anything else in the world. Loves to crawl/chase him around. When Cole comes fast at her she starts laughing and crawling as fast as she can to get away. It’s adorable. I just love the sweetness that she radiates. Its hard to not be happy around her. We love this blue eyed girl so much!

 

 

- Emery has been standing up on her more and for a longer period of time. It happens most of the time when she doesn't realize she’s doing it. Once she does she slowly squats down and crawls. There has been a step forward a few times but I think we still have at least a month till she’s confident enough to take more steps. 

-She is still a peanut, just hit 17 pounds last week. 

-Most of her winter clothes are big on her but she’s seems to finally being growing too big for her 6 month clothing. 

-Emery talks a lot, its most just noises and of course Dada 

-She has learned to clap. And loves doing it. -Can hold her bottle but doesn't do it all the time. Still needs help. 

-She’s a good little eater. Three meals a day with a mixture of baby food and finger foods. Hands down her favorite finger food is pizza and butternut squash. 

-A big fan of the kitty cats and tries to pet them whenever they are close. 

-Has two teeth still, and seems to be teething again. Can’t see or feel anything so it’s going to be awhile. 

-Her hair has really come in and it’s pretty blond. This has made her look so grown up. 

-She still wears bows and headbands with no compliant. I’m hoping this continues.

-Loves all her brothers toys which she inserts into her mouth right away.

 

I promise to do a better job next month with an update on what Emery’s up to! Its been the fastest 9 months of my life. And I’m loving it!

 

Happy Halloween

Camera Happy

It had been awhile since I brought out my camera, almost a month. I have missed taking pictures. So last week I took it out and just snapped some photos of them playing around in our living room. If you can’t tell Emery is pretty much infatuated with her brother. Most days Cole enjoys playing around with her and getting her to laugh too. I have to say I'm really digging non formal photos these days. The ones that catch them in there element.

Emery is 7 Months!

Since Emery will be 8 months next week I figured I better do a 7 month post before it’s too late. Mom fail. Let’s move on. This month went by faster than any month since Emery came into the world. Life these days is busy and we keep both kids on a very regular schedule which keeps us close to home. And I’m ok with that. I don’t want to wish these days away , because they are the ones we will always remember. All of us together making memories, Emery has certainly made this family whole. She is a very happy little girl and I love watching her grow. My sweet little girl I love you more and more with each beat of my heart.

Here's what she's up to these days,

- Is eating 4 bottles a day, and three meals a day!

- Weighs in at 16 lbs 5 oz (at 7 months 3 weeks)

- She’s a little peanut, depending on what brand it ranges from 3-6 months, 6 months and some 9months (carters).

- Is sleeping from 6:45pm to 6:30am.

- Is taking three naps. One short one early morning, One mid-morning and then one late afternoon.

- She is wearing size 3 diapers (target brand)

- Is on the move at all times. Crawling , pulling up and even some cruising . She does not like to be held very long. She’s little miss independent and most content when she can move all around.

- Can say Dada and lots of squeals

- Greets everyone she knows with a huge smile. She is defiantly more hesitant around strangers than her brother was at this age.

- Everything is inserted into her mouth.

- Loves being naked and bath time.

- We started finger foods, hands down favorite thing is cheerios. Still working on mastering to get other foods in her mouth.

- She is so inquisitive and really takes in all that is going on around her. She's soaking up the world around her like a sponge. Especially whatever her brother does.

- Loves to interact with her brother. Whenever Cole gives her direct attention she just smiles and laughs. He is hands down her favorite person.

- Enjoys reading as long as she can touch the book.

-Loves the kitty cats. She is always trying to pet them and chase them.

- Her hair is really starting to come in and its blond.

- I'm guilty of calling her Em all the time. Cole does too as well as Emmy. Dada still calls her Emery.

- Still has only two teeth but the drooling has picked up again so I think we have some more coming.

Emery we are so proud of your accomplishments already...so be it they are small you my girl will move mountains. When you were diagnosed with hip dysplasia and put into a brace till 3 months old we just figured you would be a bit behind physically, well you have shown us sweet heart to never assume. You can do anything my dear and I believe it!
