Cookie Time!

One of our favorite things to do at Christmas time is

bake Christmas cookies. This year was extra special

because Emma got to help!

Christmas time is here!

This month has already been full of fun!

Emma has enjoyed looking at all of

the decorations and has done very well "just looking."

She had fun making a gingerbread house with her KK,

going to look at Christmas lights at Rose Land, and of course

wearing all of her cute Christmas outfits!

I think my favorite thing so far is to hear her say,

"Happy Birthday Baby Jesus"

It is the sweetest thing ever!!!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

Busy Bee!

This was Emma's first Halloween that she actually

got to trick or treat. She loved being outside of course!

We went in our neighborhood to see a few

neighbors before heading to Springhill to help

Nana and Pawpaw hand out candy.

She had lots of fun!

Peanut Butter Picnic

It is still funny to me sometimes to watch Emma

eat "big people food." She now has 10 teeth,

so she doesn't have to have everything cut

up for her. She LOVES peanut butter

sandwiches! I haven't tried jelly yet,

the peanut butter is messy enough by

itself!!! On this particular day

it felt better outside, so we enjoyed a

nice picnic on the front porch.

Play Date

Emma had her first trip to a park this week.

A group of moms from MOPS got together

for a play date. The weather was perfect!

After all of the rain we've been having, it

was nice to get out and play in the sunshine.

Emma LOVED it!!!

She loves to climb the stairs at home, but can only go

if Jason or I help her up. But the play set at

the park had stairs that were just her size so she

could go up and down all by herself.

What a big girl!

October Fun!

This month has been lots of fun! We went to the pumpkin patch,

played with Emma's cousin Austin, and got a special

delivery from Nana and Pawpaw!

And as you can see, we have a sweet baby bumble bee for Halloween!

Buzzzzz.....

Pumpkin fun!

I put out our fall decorations this week.

Emma really liked the pumpkin, but

she thought it was a ball and kept throwing it!

I can't wait to take her to the pumpkin patch!

We'll have to have a talk about not throwing

the pumpkins before we go! Ha ha...

Go Tigers!

Ball Popper and PB

I waited until this past month to give peanut butter to Emma.

I first gave it to her on crackers, but today she

had her first official peanut butter sandwich!

You can tell from her expression that she enjoyed it!

Yay, now that's one more thing I can pack for her lunch!

Last Thursday when I picked Emma up from

Mother's Day Out, she was pushing a ball popper toy

around. She seemed to enjoy it, and later at home

she was pushing kitchen utensils the same way!

On our way home from Baton Rouge last weekend, we

stopped at Wal-Mart to get her one of her own.

As you can see, she LOVES it!

I think I'll look into getting a toy vacuum for Christmas!

Here Kitty Kitty

Emma LOVES to go outside. Today was especially fun because

we meet some new friends. There were about 5 little kittens playing

in our next door neighbors' flower beds. Our fence has a small hole at

the bottom, so two of the playful kittens made their way to our

backyard for some fun. Emma was so cute with them!

She said, "hello kitty kat." and would laugh and laugh

while they ran around playing.

She thought it was funny when they climbed the tree!

I guess I'll be going to buy some cat food to put outside

so our little friends will come back to see us!
