Homefront

Here is a pic of the hall before & after. Just doing some finishing work today and then we can live like normal people again. :^)

When do you think Emmi will walk???

Last night she blew us away by taking a couple steps. She did this multiple times. It started with she thinking it was so funny to put her hands on the floor and look under her legs. So Jacob grabbed the video camera to capture the moment. Well that is when she just stood then walked. Check out the video.

She is not walking yet so get your vote on. Post a comment. Where you see it say a number then comments below this post. Click there and it will bring you to another screen where you can put in your vote. Please be sure to include your name.

Dentist, Standing & Craziness

Emmi had her first Dentist appt today. She was a rock star in more ways than one. They were even able to clean her teeth with the cleaner stuff. Everyone was impressed. We dont have to go back for another year although I may send her in 6 months since I had crappy teeth. Go Emmi!!!

She also is standing more and more on her own. At first it was random look she stood for a split second type thing. Then starting this weekend it was one of those moments where Jacob and I looked at each other in amazement as she was just standing drumming on her drum. Or yesterday she was just standing as I came around the corner. What do you think, will be have a Christmas walker?

Then on the home front we are in the middle of chaos since we are getting hardwoods installed on our first floor. It is coming out great. Here is a sneak peak with the little bit that was done as of yesterday.

Happy Turkey Day

We had a great time with Grandpa, Gramma Sharl, Uncle Joe, Voie Jason, Aunt Sara, Cousins Benjamin & Tyler. Dinner was at the Goguens with some great times in the yard playing to burn calories before we ate. Here are some pics:
Emmi sure does love the wagon while cousin Benjamin gives her a ride(check out the smile on her face). Then she also loved their push car for riding in as well.

Here is the beginning of the meal with her crazy Daddy.

Here is the end of the meal.

Then to end different day she got to ride on Grandpa's shoulders.

Beautiful Fall Day

Today was a beautiful day in the mid 50's. So we decided to spend some time outside raking leaves, even though our helpers are coming in Tuesday. My Dad, Step mom and Lil' Bro usually help with this chore but we got a head start. Here is Emmi checking out the piles for us.

Emmi is fighting a little cold. Thursday night was not a good one for her as she was up multiple times which changed our plans of going to Altanta this weekend. Just Jacob went since he had a mtn bike meeting he had to attend. But Emmi seems to be on the up and up since that one night. We also found a new tooth on the bottom.

One down many more to go

That is right she is no longer a baby but a toddler as of today. We went to the doctor and she weighed in at 21 lbs 6 ounces. She is 30 inches tall. The doctor was impressed with her confidence as she rearranged the furniture in the doctors office while she was bored listening to him. hehehehe

Tid bits of information of Emmi's life so far. She has never had formula, she never had baby food from a jar, she primarily eats table foods now, she has 6 teeth, she can say words like Mama, Bubba, Dadda, Bica bak, and other random babblings, she pulls herself up on everything, walks when holding her hands or behind push toys, she just lights up when Kona comes into the room, still naps 2 times a day, climbs whatever she can, still no vaccines, had only one fever, I think 3 colds, and is just the love of our life.

Happy Birthday Munchkin!!!!

It's my party.....

That is right, we had Emmi's party this weekend with a spaghetti feed and carrot cake. There were about 30 people who came to celebrate. Here are some pics we got and also a little video.

Of course she had to end the party right. :^)
