11 Months and growing like a WEED!

It is really hard to beleive that Emmalee is almost a year old. She turned 11 months on the 6th of September. It has been a time for a lot of changes. Emmalee's babysitter has had a family situation, that she had to take care of, so Emmalee has a temporary baby sitter named Wendy. Emmalee seems to really like Wendy and the other kids Wendy watches. Emmalee thought it would be fun to see the "Green Chicken" in Papa Jim and Nana's kitchen... needless to say this is as close as we would let her get. Papagaya is very interested in seeing how Emmalee tastes!! I know Mom, Emmalee will have to get bit by Papagaya to learn....
Emmalee is really enjoying eating fresh fruit, and other "real" food items. Her upper right tooth finally decided to come through... we have named it "Cutter". We are all waiting for "Slicer" to break through so we can move past the "Teething diapers" Man do they smell!!!! (like Roses - right Papa Jim") She loves to get Ice from Papa Jim and she does whatever it takes to get the ice, even it if means sticking her hand in Papa Jim's mouth and pulling the ice out. Emmalee is crawling all over the place and she continues to pull herself up on items and walks furniture. She is challenging her balance and I know she is going to take her first step any day now. She crawls to the middle of the floor and just stands up, looks around and then sits down and crawls. She loves the cabinets in the kitchen, it is time for Daddy to put the safety latches on all of the cabinets. She enjoys any toy that sings or makes noise - she loves music and will dance if she hears music playing. She went to Peter Piper Pizza with us to celebrate Coby's birthday and she loved all of the lights and bells and whistles. She went down a slide with her big brother Bradley (BBB). She rode the helicopter and in the ice cream truck. She also played a very fun game where she had to step on the alligators. Her Daddy said he knew she was part "Coon Ass" She playes with her walking toys and moves them all over the house. She chases Nashoba all over the house. She will go down to her room and play with her toys and then she comes looking for her DaDa or MaMa - of course hollering DaDa or MaMa the whole time. She still sleeps very well. She is a true blessing and we Thank God for her every second!!!!! She loves her brothers and attacks them when she sees them. Papa Jim and Nana got her a doll names "Baby Emma" she will not let anyone hold it because that means they are not holding or loving her. She hugs the doll and kisses the doll and plays with the doll like her brothers play with her. Thank you Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Margie for the wonderful toys.. she has found the giraffe and bird but we have not let her open the bag since it is not her birthday yet! We love you all and I promise to write more - More often.

Love always, Jill and family
