Granola Bar

My silly little girl.
She loves things that make crinkly noises.  Especially her granola bar.  She's loved this "toy for about 6-7 months now.  I'ts never been opened, but sometimes it is the only thing that will keep her quiet in church.
 Sorry for the bad picture.  My camera can be temperamental sometimes...and it was zoomed pretty far!

Lately she's taken to crawling around with it in her mouth.  You should have seen her struggle with it at first! It was so funny!  She'd get it in her mouth, crawl a little, then it would fall and she'd get it back in, crawl a little and it would fall out.  This happened at least 5-6 times until she finally got the hang of it! So funny!


Emma also LOVES to play peek-a-boo.  She'll play it with anything: blankets, bibs, curtains, burp cloths, etc.!  She's so cute!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

I'm trying to make up for my lack of pictures in November.  So we took a few before we headed to our ward Christmas party last night!






We decided to be festive...

Then we went to the party and guess who was there?

SANTA!

Santa insisted we get a family picture. :)
We were really worried that Emma would cry, but she was more curious than anything.  And once he gave her a candy cane...she didn't care who was holding her!

At the end of the party they had a dance.

Emma had a lot of fun!


Until she realized how tired she was.


Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas season!
Merry Christmas!  And may you get more snow than we are! :(

11 Months!

Emma is now 11 months old!  I can't believe it!


She's grown a lot in the last month.  She is now up to 20 lbs!  YAAYYY!!!  Which means at the end of this month we can turn her around in her carseat!!  OH MY YESS!!  We went down to Cedar City for Thanksgiving to stay with Tyler's family.  The car rides were awful!  I was in the back about 90% of the time.  And it is not the most spacious backseat if you know what I mean!  And even then she would cry and scream because she wanted out.  It made me realize why we don't visit people very often...that and the fact that she won't sleep at night!  Ya, we left a day early just so we could actually get some sleep over the break!

Emma's favorite things this month
1. Books.


She prefers books over her toys.  She loves, and I mean LOVES to turn the pages.  You don't even have to say anything (but I always do don't worry).  And she will "read" the same book over and over and over and over and over again.  Literally until you decide you can't take that book anymore.

2.  Mac and Cheese.
It is her favorite.  She probably has it everyday for lunch because I know she'll eat it.  And she will eat an entire little easy mac thing (minus the bites that I steal).

3.  Head Diving.
Yes.  In order to get off furniture, she believes she must head dive off.  She used to cry every time but now I think she has gotten used to it.

4. Eh?
This is her favorite "word."  She says it ALL THE TIME.  If you are talking to someone else either in person or on the phone, or especially if you are talking to her she always looks at you, cocks her head and says "eh?"  Just like her Uncle Davis.

5. Other stuff.
Emma got one more tooth. One of her bottom teeth.  I think its really going to look funny once the other one comes in and they are off! Emma also refuses to walk and or stand.  She loves to walk along the furniture, but you try and get her to stand alone and she IMMEDIATELY sits.  She is such a turd.
