Oh Christmas tree..

So far.. Emma is doing well with leaving the tree alone.. Wonder how long that will last!

As per request.. pictures of my goofy ball!

Nothing new..

Emma is still growing like crazy.. likes to do the pull toy thing right now.
Loves playing with her little people stuff. So far she has avoided any MAJOR sickness. I'm quite thankful for that.

Updates..

Emma can do:
Hide and seek
Bring you a specific item
"Read" to herself
Color in her books
TRIES to use a utensil
Roll a ball back and forth
Bounce the ball back and forth
Holds her arms for up (working on saying it!)
Holds her arms up when you say "raise the roof" or "arms up!"
And shakes her head no to tell us now.
Nods her head for yes.

She can say..(albeit not clearly)
Mama, Mom
Dada, Daddy
Cat
Dog
Duck
Woof
Quack
Meow
Moo
Cluck
What's this?
Who's that?
Pap
Oh sh** (my fault! and this one comes out pretty clearly!)
bye
hi
(waves with both hi and bye, seperate hands for them!)

We are on the call back list for the flu shot at the pediatrician's.. they do not have them yet. At her last visit, she was 23 pounds. That was approx a month-2 months ago.

Trick or Treating

Emma went to 6 houses.. and had a full trick or treat bag! We hit the people we knew, and they just loaded the baby girl up! She got the hang of trick or treating after the 3rd house. Then she would go up.. take the candy in hand and continue to take candy if they didn't remove the bowl from reach. If they did remove the bowl from her reach.. then she took my hand.. and headed towards the door! LOL!! We took the wagon with us.. so she could check over her bounty as we went to the next house. Jason stayed home to hand candy out to the wooping 8 treaters that we did get!
