...10 AND 11...

Oh my word. Am I an awful momma or what?! It's not that I forgot her 10 month blog...I just...never wrote it. I know!!!! Awful! And now...well, now she's 11 months old. So. This blog will combine her 10 and 11 months...b/c to be honest...there would be no way for me to remember all her different achievements from a month ago! Well...I'll remember them, just not be able to remember if it happened by her 10th or 11th month...ya dig?!

Anywho.

OH MY WORD! My baby girl is almost one. ::waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!:: When did this happen?!?! When??? WHEN?!?! Ugh, gosh! Is this how it's going to be now? My babies are going to become big people in a blink of an eye?! (Don't answer that- I don't really wanna know!) Emme Ann is such a freakin' doll. I mean...for real. She is just so amazing...and beautiful...and funny...and divalicious! She can look at you with the most blank expression...like "entertain me, dood"...and then her face and eyes just brighten up into the most gorgeous smile and lights up any room!


Over the past two months...Emme has:
* started eating table foods only (byebye mushed baby stuff!)
* says "heyow?" (hello) and puts the phone to her head as if she's answering it!!!
* actually...she'll put her hand to her head too like a phone!
* gives kisses if you ask her...
* blows kisses- and the fun part is...that she blows them just like Jude did- kissing the back of her hand!!!
* steals her brothers toys away from him...
* has 10 teeth!!!
* waves bye...
* wears anywhere from 9-18month clothes!
* is weaning off the bottle!!!
* refuses to give up the binky (um...girlfriend- this is the month!)
* babbles up a STORM!
* says "adaaay" ...which DLo and I are convinced is "again"...
* gets into EVERYTHING...
* refuses to walk...I mean...I seriously thought she'd walk by 9 months b/c of how soon she crawled!
* has longer hair...although...it's still short! I can tell it's longer when I put headbands on her- her hair scrunches up more! But...if you look at my hair at age 1...we look EXACTLY the same!
* is obsessed with dogs!!!
* mimics momma when she bends her head back...or shakes her head!
* loves playing the drums or xylophone...
* bootie dances to ANY music...
* gives the BEST hugs...


Emme,
As we approach your 1st birthday...I think back to all my worries and fears about adding a new person into our family. You, my princess, have been the PERFECT addition to our family...and I'm so thankful that God brought you into our lives. Remember that momma and daddy and brother love you VERY much!
