11 months and counting

My dear blog, I am so sorry that I have been neglecting you.  You know how it is, life gets in the way.  A quick post about Emily and then I'll recap the last few months when I have more time.

My darling Emily has turned 11 months.  I just can't believe how fast it goes by!

Accomplishments:

Crawling

Trying to pull herself up but only if she has an edge to hold onto

Saying "mama" "dada" "doggie" (dada and doggie are the same, only doggie is a higher pitched dada) "ball" "baby"

Talking back to whomever tells her no

Just about getting her first two teeth (bottom front)

Likes:
Pretty much ALL food (except plain rice and green beans).  LOVES oranges and any other kind of fruit

Being "dropped" from your arms.  She thinks this is hilarious!

Being harassed by her sister

Dislikes:

Being harassed by her sister

Having anything taken away from her or not getting it fast enough (this girl has a set of lungs on her and will tell you when she's mad!)

Not being fed fast enough.  She hates it when you have your food before her.

I'll leave you with some pics and video.  Enjoy!
*video not cooperating.  I'll upload those later.

Talking, Dancing and Bouncing

Just some video of the girls so you can see what they're up to.  Em is constantly talking, usually pretty loudly, Liv is always dancing, usually pretty awkwardly, and Em adores to bounce!

Slow to start chatting away, but she gets there.

 Liv is perfecting the white man overbite at an early age!

With those legs, she can bounce with ease! 

8 months!

Emily has very quickly turned 8 months.  She rolling like crazy, finally sitting up unsuported, and eats anything that she can get her hands on like turkey, chicken, pork, all veggies and fruits and bread, tortillas, rice and pasta.  He's always wiggling around and trying as hard as she possibly can to reach what she can't have.  She's definitely going to be a climber and one of those kids that you have to chase all over the mall/restaurant.  She has a very large set of lungs on her and its always yelling as loud as her voice will let her.  She still has no teeth and it doesn't look like she will be getting any anytime soon.  She is such a sweet little girl and is in love with her sister more than words can express.  She gets more excited when she sees Olivia then she does when she sees me.  Other than getting upset when she drops a toy or can't reach what she wants, she is the most easy-going baby.  I'm so excited that I get to have a mini-me!

Sisters

 Just had to post a few cute pics of the girls together.  Emily is absolutely in love with Olivia, it's too cute!

Disneyland!

Cody, the girls, and I went to Disneyland with my Mom and Katie in the end of September.  We had a great time!  Liv was so brave and went on every roller coaster that she could!  She said that her favorites were Splash Mountain and Big Thunder.  Emily was the perfect age to go.  She was super happy to just sit in her stroller or in someones arms and check out everything that was going on.  I don't think she cried the entire time.  The weather was perfect but the park was the most crowded I have ever seen it and that's saying a lot - I've been to the park on at least 20 different occasions.  Never again will we go during Halloween time on a weekend!

We were ambushed by Cinderella and Mary Poppins.  Both the girls loved it!

In almost all the character pics, she has the same nervous smile.

Absolutely LOVED the parade!

Sitting with her brick.  Em was born too late to get her own.

Kisses from Minnie!
