Roses

Emilee and the roses.

Dare Devil

She loved watching the guys 'work cows'.  I forsee lots of bumps and bruises in her future.

Climbing

She is learning to climb. =)

9 months old (plus 4 days)

Last Thursday (the 15th)!  I know, I'm slacking!  I just can't seem to catch up on being so tired. It has nothing to do with Emilee...  she's a great napper and sleeper. =) It's just me I guess. Since it's been a while I thought that I would puts some things that she has been doing and post a few (recent) pictures.

Emilee wants to just stand up any time now. Last Thursday she decided to celebrate a month birthday by standing up unassisted at Granny's house with a toy in each hand. This was witnessed by Aunt Barbara and Uncle Matt.  Sad that I missed it.  She also started pointing recently.  She will point and grunt towards the dogs, people when they first walk in the room or the door to go outside.  She has also started shaking her head 'no' here recently.  Not really because she's saying 'no' yet, but just to shake it. She stands up holding on and then lets go and stands for a few seconds before plopping down on her padded booty...  it's only a matter of time before she's standing on her own. *sniffles*  She has also learned that when she drops food the puppies run to eat it and she laughs!  Not good. She will drop her sippy cup, look down towards it and then grunt and point for someone to pick it up.   She very rarely eats baby food.  Recently she has decided that if the food is on a fork or in a spoon she doesn't want it ( I think that she thinks it's baby food).  She loves chopped up ham, chicken, green bean, pinto beans, fruit...  anything she can feed to herself. She actually does really well considering she has an 'oral cavity deformation'.  HA - big words for it.  Granny calls it a "cute little hole". =)  Most of the time she takes good naps and sleeps VERY well at night from about 8 pm to 5:30 am consistantly. A lot of times if she doesn't fall asleep drinking her bottle she will go down awake and talk/jabber herself to sleep. It's cute to listen to.  She is such a happy baby and has yet to meet a stranger. (She even reach for the guy at verizon...  he wanted to sell her a phone.)

In this last one, the three droplett like objects on her chest...  drool!

Since she likes to play in the bath tub so much I have looking forward to getting her little pool out, but NO..  the weather had to get cool again. Hopefully soon!

Just for fun.

Pictures from Florida

Rocking at Crackel Barrel in Jacksonville

Just her size...

Florida

Emilee and I are in Florida for Derek's wedding.  The weather is perfect! Here are a few pictures from today.  Congrats to Derek and Jesi.

Blue Bonnets

Quick post for some bluebonnet pics..  They are the header but I wanted to post them bigger. =)

The first three are from Easter Sunday

This one is really grainy because I had to zoom way in.  I just loved the way she was standing

This last one was taken yesterday afternoon

Emilee's First Easter

Easter morning we went to church with Aunt Barbara.  Emilee went to the nursery where they said that she did great. I was glad that I had taken a regular bottle with me that morning.

After church we went to Cut-N-Shoot to visit with Chance's Family

These flowers are at Aunt Sandra's.  She was more interested in the leaves.

When we left there we went to Uncle Josh and Aunt Ashley's house to take some blue bonnet pictures.

Then we headed back home for dinner at Granny Katie's house with my family.  Because the weather was so yucky in the morning we didn't do an easter egg hunt until about 6:00 pm.

She just want to play with the fake grass and chew on the eggs.

She thought something was funny.  If you are able to zoom in on this last picture  you can see her top teeth coming in.  She has a total of five teeth now.  Two on the bottom and three on the top.

She Loves To Be Outside

Emilee absolutely loves to be outside. She stands at the door and hollars to go out and then when you walk past the wagon she starts to fuss and when it's time to go inside she cries.  She loves it. =)  I see lots of sunscreen in her future.

I love the way she was sitting.... like she did it on purpose.

Granny got a hold of her toes again..  Her feet look so chubby.
