10 months old!

Looking very big all of a sudden

She still loves napping in her swing, 

I wonder how much longer that will last? 

Hey mom, can I help you bake? 

I'm very helpful in the kitchen 

Yes, I am teething and I am being very sweet about it!

My two bottom teeth just popped up last week.

Yay!  Daddy's home! 

Someone looks pretty cute in pigtails!

Just wanted to show everyone my cute new hairstyle!



Here's a quick Emmy update:

She weighed in at 17.1 lbs at her 9 month check

She is getting her first tooth! (for real this time)

Her new favorite word is doggie...

When she tries to say doggie it comes out doddeee

She loves feeding her doddeee from her plate,

And she can rock some sweet pigtails!

Hope everyone's 2011 is off to a great start!

A Very Emmy Christmas

Christmas Day 

Another famous Emmy bed head shot 

On a sad note, last week was Emmy's final week with me

 at the office. She starts day care in a few days and I will miss her so much.

November/December

Thanksgiving

Can you tell we're related?

We did find the time to go to the beach last weekend

Who wouldn't be smiling at this beautiful sunset?

Here comes Trouble

We only thought she was trouble when she started scooting all around the living room a few months ago, but now that she's really crawling and pulling herself up on all the furniture, trouble has taken on a whole new meaning! 

Here I come

Best buds 

Look at all these books I can pull down!

Caught in the act 

This is so much fun! 

Please make this child stop torturing me 

Standing all by myself! 

And getting into more trouble!

On the move again 

We had to find a new home for this vase,

it was just too tempting for Miss Emmy

Our Santa Barbara trip with Emmy's future boyfriend 

Yes, that is what you think it is on their shirts.

We found them on the sale rack behind us and couldn't resist

So cute together

Got any teeth in there? 

Still no teeth in my mouth



The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch

Emmy made the rounds to all the best pumpkin patches this year.  Grandma and I took her to Lombardi's over the weekend and she was quite a hit in her little costume.   We tried and we tried but we could not get her to crack a smile--very out of character for this one.  Here is Emmy's serious side...  

Those chubby legs looked so cute in green tights! 

She did enjoy playing in the dirt, so here's a little smile 

Yumm, Skittles!

What is going on with my belly?! 

Mom, I feel ridiculous with this thing on my head
