Merry Christmas Y'all!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had lots of family in town to visit us and it was wonderful to spend time with my parents, Mike's parents, Auntie Lexi, Uncle Aldo, Greg, Vanessa and all of our friends. We are truly blessed. This Christmas was tons of fun since Emmie loved everything about Christmas...the lights, Santa, all the decorations, music, her Advent calendar, and much much more. She really loved all of her Christmas presents! I'll post lots of pics to share...

Emmie's momma designed the candy cane shirt :)

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving with our friends Tom, Kellie, Tyler, Zach and Abby Mulligan. We ate way too much and the kids had a blast playing together! Do you like Emmie's Turkey shirt I made her? Cute, huh?

A Star Wars geek...just like Daddy.

Other happenings...

Busch Garden Hippo

Sesame Street Live
Elmo's Green Thumb

T-Rex

In other news, we took Emmie to see Sesame Street Live and Walking with Dinosaurs last weekend. She LOVED Elmo and liked the dinosaurs until T-Rex came out...he was a little too scary and she was "all done!" We also went to Busch Gardens one afternoon while Gigi was in town to visit. We loved having her here for her fall break!

18 months

Emmie turned 18 months last week and we took her to the doctor for her 18 month appointment yesterday. She has FINALLY reached the 20 lb. milestone! Yay! We are so proud of her and she can now be "officially" turned forward facing in her car seat, although we turned her around a couple of months ago. Her stats are 20.5 lb (10 %ile) , 29 1/2 inches (10%ile), and her head circumference is 18 1/2 in (55%ile). She is doing so great with her language and motor skills. She is really getting to be a big girl!
