Go Duke!!

Emma is supporting Her Daddy's team today.

PLEASE!!!

I realized something tonight, every time I tell Emma to say please she rubs her chest while she says please. After seeing her do this time and time again I got to wondering maybe that is the sign for please. I googled it and it is. That is the second time she has signed something and I had no idea what she was doing. I need to get up to date on my signs so I can keep up with my 1 year old. That's sad!

Last Tooth

Emma received her last tooth today until her 2 year old molars start coming in. Yeah we are done for a little while!

Christmas Toes

Saturday I painted Emma's toes red. I have not painted her toes since she was a baby. I was Leary about how she would do, but she did great! The whole time she kept saying Oooo. It was so cute. Now every time she sees her toes she says Oooo.

Play and Santa

Rylan was in a play Sunday night and did an excellent job.

Emma did not like Santa at all this year.

Busy, busy, busy

Well, today Emma has had many accomplishments. First of all she got another eye tooth.
Then after church I was playing around with her, holding her like a baby, and I was saying "sweet baby" over and over again. She looked up at me and said "baby" plain as day. Later after her bath she wanted into Rylan's room so I showed her how to open the door. Kids are amazing!!! After showing her one time she opened his door over and over and over again. They both got a kick out of it.
Some of you may be wondering how in the world she could open a door. They are french door handles so all she has to do is pull down on the handle and push. She can't pull a door open yet.

Got rid of the Mullet

Emma received her second hair cut today. She was starting to grow a natural mullet and we just could not have that. Now it is all one length. I think it looks better in person.

Cool baby Girl!

another tooth last Sunday

Emma got another tooth last Sunday 11-8-09.

5k race at Creekside Park

Saturday Rylan ran in a 5k at the park down the street from our house. It was a gorgeous day! He did a great job finishing in 4th place in 32 minutes.

Halloween 2009

The kids had a great time Trick or Treating this year. Rylan was the Scarecrow and Emma was Dorthy. I made the costumes about a month ago. I was very happy with the outcome. Rylan ran the whole time and Emma got the hang of it by about the 4Th house. After a while all the babies where put in the strollers with suckers. Emma had her first candy bar on Halloween. Both the kids passed out on the way home.

All in all everyone had a great night and we could not have asked for better weather.

Outside

Last night we were playing outside and Emma walked over to our bushes, which right now are red, and was picking one leaf off at a time saying "HOT". It was so funny. She did it over and over.

Eye Tooth

Last Sunday 10-18 Emma got her first eye tooth. It was nothing, but now she seems to be having a really hard time with her second one. That and her thumb is chapped. We have had some sleepless nights!

New Addition

Here is our new addition! His name is Tazer. We are guessing he is about 8 months old.

Last Molar

Emma got her last molar yesterday! That one was nothing compared to the others. I did not know she was even getting it.

Rylan and Emma's Halloween Costumes

I decided to make Rylan and Emma's Halloween costumes this year. They are going to be Dorthy and the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz.
