Emery went for her second flu shot this past week and was weighed...she is now 21lbs! We scheduled her one year appt. for next month.
As for events/accomplishments this month:
She can now play peek-a-boo--the cutest thing you have ever seen! and she can point to the light when you say where's the light and also to daddy and mommy. She has also started taking more steps and "travelling across the room." She is at such a fun age right now...we are having a blast with her! She is now sleeping better at night--only in her crib now. We had to do several nights of letting her cry for a bit but after that she has done great. She now sleeps from about 7-7:30pm to 6:30-7am in the morning. She still takes 2 naps a day--one in the morning around 10am and one in the afternoon around 2pm. She takes 4 bottles a day and eats 3 solid meals a day as well. We are still working on her eating more solids....she eats like a bird! She likes finger foods and I usually cut up watermelon, bread, cheese, etc for her to eat. She also started saying mama this past weekend. It was an exciting moment for me! She was sitting in the cart at the grocery store and just blurted out mama....it didn't stop for the rest of the night! Of course Lola is still her BFF and just loves to see her each morning when she gets up for the day. Lola is a good sport and let's Emery climb all over her. We are working on teaching Em to be gentle...pretty hard to explain to a 11month old! She can also give "kisses" It's so cute...she just opens her mouth and leans in. So funny! She is still very much her own little person though....if you ask for a kiss you may get one and you may not...it's really up to her! :)
Even as early as this age, I can tell she loves animals! I took her, along with her nana, to Yellow River Game Ranch and she just went crazy over all the animals...pointing and babbling. She especially loved the chickens for some crazy reason and kept trying to say "bird." I let her feed a donkey a carrot and she got a kick out of that!
Our next activities for the upcoming month will be of course celebrating her birthday and Valentine's day. Also, celebrating with her friends on Feb. 5th for a group party and a Valentine's day shoot at Sky/Violet's house on Jan. 30th. At the end of Feb. we are planning a week long trip to Disney!! I am excited too because I will be able to attend Sarah's baby shower that weekend as well! Working right now on purchasing a new SUV...need something a little bigger than the Jeep Liberty for travelling now.
Well that's it for now...I will post later with more Birthday updates!
