11 Months Old

Although we've been through this before, I am still so amazed by Emmie's development.  She is a little talker!  She is saying the following: ball, mama, dada, up, more, hi, book, nana, and attempting many more that aren't quite as clear.  This girl loves to make noise and I feel like all eyes are on us while grocery shopping, at story time, church, you name it. Sometimes she makes cute sounds and other times she just screams for the fun of it.  She loves to explore and doesn't like to sit still these days, which means she no longer cuddles before bedtime. :(  She loves reading books, flipping the pages and lifting the flaps.  She also loves to play with balls and will often be crawling with one in her hand.  She can roll the ball back and forth and often giggles while doing so.  She has also become more of a playmate to her siblings.  The three of them will crawl around the couch/ottoman chasing each other and making a game of it.  I call Emmie my little bird because she loves to perch herself up on the little trampoline and is so content hanging out on top of it, taking some jumps now and then.  She also will also climb into any hamper, bin or box she can find and will stay there for a while.  She has two top teeth and her two bottom teeth are very apparent as they have been working their way in for a while. This baby girl loves to eat and puts away A LOT of food.  Although she still loves her mama, she has gotten much better at going to other people.  She is also a trooper when it comes to breaking her schedule.  Her morning nap is pretty much dropped unless she shows signs that she needs it.  Fortunately, she is still a pretty good baby even without a nap.  It's pretty difficult for her to fall asleep in the stroller or car seat these days because she wants to see and listen to what's going on.  We adore this little one and can't believe she is almost a year old.  Not sure I'm quite ready for that!

Emmie attended her first CUBS game!  She had to have her own seat and was a busy body!
