9 Months Old

This post is a little late. Emily Kay's 9 month day was this past Saturday. She seems to be changing more and more everyday. She definitely has her opinions and she makes them known! At 9 months, she is taking 4 bottles and eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She loves puffs, any fruit, and goldfish. She doesn't like ANY vegetable. We have to mix the veggies with the fruit for her to eat them. She is crawling everywhere, pulling up, cruising on furniture, and clapping her hands.
(All this info is for me...I look back at the blog and like to see when she reached certain milestones...I know those that look at this blog just want to see pics!)

Emily Kay's favorite trick, taught by Grandpa Kirk:

How big is Emily Kay?
SOO Big!

A Very Merry 1st Christmas for Emily Kay

We had a wonderful Christmas. I know that each year will only get better. We were able to spend the morning at our house with just the three of us. Then we went to open gifts with Matthew's parents and sisters. Then we opened gifts with my family and ate our traditional Christmas lunch of quail and cheese grits. It was delicious! It was a great day spent with our families. As we traveled back and forth from our house to the grandparents' houses I was so thankful that we are now back home and can easily spend time together.

Christmas Eve

Emily Kay loved "climbing" on the gifts. This was taken as we were getting ready to go to Matthew's parent's house. Every year Matthew's mom hosts his extended family on Christmas Eve to eat and exchange gifts. It is always fun, but this year was great because there were 3 new babies and we all had a great time watching them.

Emily Kay catching a quick nap before we head to my mom's annual Christmas Eve party. Again, we eat and eat! We have a great time and listen to good Christmas music and watch A Christmas Story. Emily Kay got her first real taste of opening presents, well I guess she got her first taste of paper!


After the party, Matthew and I left Emily Kay with Johnny and joined my mom and Sigrid at the 10:30 Christmas Eve service at St. Phillips. I just love this service, and I love that when you leave it is Christmas Day!

8 Months Old

I know I say it every month, but it really is crazy how fast time flies with a little one. I can't believe how big Emily Kay is getting. She is so much fun to watch and is learning more everyday. At eight months, she is still taking 4 bottles but is now eating baby food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now that she is well she is sleeping through the night again. Yea!!

Eight of her favorites:

1. Perfecting her crawling skills.
2. Taking her socks off each time I put them on her feet.
3. Eating apples and cherries.
4. Watching Elmo's World on Sesame Street.
5. Playing peekaboo.
6. Trying to play with Lola and Macy.
7. Blowing raspberries.
8. Jumping in her Excersaucer.

Here are some pictures that show just how busy she can be.
