Our Sweet Emma Claire is 9 months old.

I can't believe the baby stage is coming to an end:(

In 3 short months my baby will be ONE!

She sleeps 7pm-6:30 am

She takes 2 naps a day-- one 2 hours after getting up and another after lunch

(I try and get Austin and her to sleep at the same time in the afternoon)

She eats 3 square meals a day, we are moving away from baby food.

She loves to feed herself.

She eats crackers, goldfish, cheerios, cereal puffs, yogurt drops, Mandarin oranges, bananas, strawberries, pasta, cheese, nutrigrain bars, applesauce, green beans, carrots, rice, french toast, pancakes, yogurt (baby) and pineapples.

She has a sippy cup with half apple juice and half water with dinner.

She still only has the 2 bottom teeth.

She babbles lots. No real words yet...still waiting on Dada and mama.

She imitates sounds.

She LOVES to clap and is learning to wave.

She loves to jump in her crib.

She loves playing at the train table with Austin.

She LOVES being outside.

She has been a great stroller rider at the zoo.

She loves the swings.

She does not like strangers-

we got called out in church to pick her up because she was not happy

She just needed Mama:)

We have been so blessed watching her and Austin interact-

They are learning to share and play nice.

Miss Emma is a sweet happy busy baby girl.

Hi Mom

Happy Baby

Storms, Elmo and Papa

Preparing for the storms

We had bad storms roll through a couple of weeks ago.

We barely had any rain.

But we did spend about 30 minutes in the closet.

Our sweet neighbor Sarah and Gabby were over too.

3 kids, 2 mommies, 1 I-pad, 1 I-phone and 1 other phone to entertain the troops.

We had dinner with our wonderful friends Jeff and Donna

While dinner was cooking the kids enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.
