10 & 11 months

Whew...it's been a while since I've posted anything. I don't imagine I'll post after 1 yr., but if anyone is still interested in following along, "friend" me on Facebook. :) SO...since I last posted we took our first family vacation to Florida. First of many, I'm sure. We spent time with Grandma & Grandpa Cox and Aunt Shanny & Uncle Ron (& dogs!). Emmy did very well on the flights. Although, it was probably due to the fact she had ear tubes put in the week prior. Those have been wonderful. Emmy has been growing so fast & trying new things constantly. Her favorite toys are salad tongs & a big silver bowl. You know...for banging on and making lots of NOISE. :) She likes anything that plays music, some days we chill out in the living room and put the music channel on ("Party Favorites" is her favorite!) and dance. I sure hope she has rhythm when she gets older. She is eating more & more finger foods and almost prefers that to being fed by mom or dad. Em's 1st b'day will be here before we know it and I think we are counting down the days until we don't have to buy formula anymore!!! We are hearing what sound like her first words, but maybe it's still babbling. She is understanding simple phrases like, "where's the dogs?", "where's daddy?", "uh-oh", "Emmy do it". It's so much fun watching her learn. She finally (at 10.5 months) got her first tooth coming in. And in the last 3 weeks, 3 more poked through. A full month of a teething baby is not so much fun. I guess that's why they make Tylenol & Motrin. This first year with Em has just flown by. I hope the next 17 yrs (or 25!) go by just a little slower.

S,T & E

Not quite one yet, but close enough!
