Emerson : 11 months

 Emerson 11 month pictures:

She is most happy when I let her get into things that aren't her toys!

Loving the outdoors!

This is what happens when mommy's at work and daddy has to do school work when Emerson is only happy in the bathtub!

Fun times with forever friends!

She can be a bully!

Bri and Aleya came and spent a day with us.  We used our neighbors yard for pictures!

Her favorite "toy"!

Fun times with friends around the fire.  We LOVE having a back yard!

Love when I get snuggles from her, even if they don't last for very long!

she loves our doors with big windows.  I find her standing and looking outside often!

Her new room!

Emerson took her first steps at our Gerber Thanksgiving the first weekend in November.  

She was 10 1/2 months old!

She loves to play with my glasses in the mornings!

She thought it was pretty cool to sit on top of the moving wash machine!

Learning to play the Piano at Grandma Steidinger's!

She loves to push our kitchen chairs all around!

Fun in the leaves at Grandma Leman's

This is how I found her sleeping one morning.  Not sure how she got her arm out of her sleeve!

This is her new sound that she has become well known for!

Big things this month were taking her first steps at about 10 1/2 months! It took her about 2 weeks to get it figured out and then she was pretty much walking everywhere!  I have definitely found that she gets into a lot more things a lot quicker! She keeps me busy but I love it!

She is very curious and she LOVES to copy sounds, actions, faces!  She plays patty-cake, and can even "roll it", still loves to give kisses and hugs, giggles, and makes "t-caw" sounds, and loves to be outside! She says dada and mama at times but doesn't usually use them in the right context.

She takes 1-2 naps a day and sleeps all night long!  Sometimes for 12 hours straight!  She does sometimes cry out around 5-6 in the morning.  I usually let her cry herself back to sleep but sometimes I give her a bottle.

Each month she gets more and more active and well love watching her learn new things!! We enjoy each and everyday that we have with her!
