Our Curious Little Girl

Emerson spent some time examining Daddy's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth the other night. She entertained us, but I'm not sure Dad enjoyed it as much as we did!

11 Months Old

Emerson is 11 months old! She weighs just over 22 lbs. and has 6 teeth. She can clearly say "mama", "daddy", "ish" (for fish), and when asked what a dog says, she says "woof". She loves to wave, look at books, dance, and talk! She crawls, walks around the furniture, and stands on her own for several seconds but isn't walking on her own yet. She is an extremely good-natured little girl and we love her! Here's a video of her on the move:

A busy day...

Emerson had a busy day...first she reorganized our Tupperware drawer, then she bundled up and headed outside for a walk in the yard.

Happy Halloween!

To celebrate Emerson's first Halloween, we had dinner with Aunt Pam, Uncle Steve, and cousins Mackenzie and Madison. Then she put on her duck costume to go trick-or-treating with Maddie. We just went to a few houses in our neighborhood, but I think she enjoyed herself and got some practice for next year. We kept trying to get her to quack, but the best she could do was "duh" for duck!

Fall Fun

We had planned on taking a trip to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch with some friends today, but due to the cold, rainy weather, it was cancelled. But while we were out and about running errands, we did stop at the farm market to get some pumpkins and take some quick pictures. Emerson wasn't really interested in the pumpkins at all. We ended our outing with a quick lunch at Steak & Shake where she modeled her hat for everyone!

Leaves

Emmie played in the leaves the other night...she spent lots of time examining them and only tried to eat one!

Taking a stroll...

Here's a video of Emerson showing off her walking skills! She had an audience to impress...Lyn, Doug, Nina, and Rich were here to see her this past weekend. Sorry the video is sideways--I don't know how to fix it :-(
