Going to pick up my baby boy

It has been a week since I have seen my sweet boy.  Even though I know he had a blast with him Mimi and PopPop, this mommy missed him.  It was nice to get special time with Emerson, but I am ready to have both my kiddos back with me.  Can't wait to see this face...

 We are heading to the lake to pick him up.  Check out his new favorite thing to do at the lake...
Such a brave boy, he is growing up way too quick.

A sweet tooth

This sweet girl fits right in..she has a major sweet tooth.  She can spot anything sweet a mile away and she goes to kicking and screaming for a bite.  Hayden is kind enough to share his treats with her.  This is what happened when he gave her a bite of his push up...


She grabbed it out of his hands and crammed the whole thing in her mouth.  Love this girl!!

Emerson is 9 months

Really, it is so hard for me to believe that you are nine months old.  I know I say it every month, but now it is creeping towards the big ONE.  That means time to start preparing for your first birthday bash.  YEAH!!!  However, that is still three months away and you have a lot more things on your agenda to accomplish before your birthday.  You know...like saying...MOMA.  Okay, I won't mind if Dada is your first word.

This month you are still sleeping so so, from about 8pm to around 5am.  Please, just one more hour, if you could push it to 6am I would be a very happy momma.  You have mastered crawling and are pulling up on everything.  You have learned to open cabinets and get into them.  Babyproofing is in full effect.  You really keep us on our toes.  I have to say I am ready for you to walk, only because you being so low to the ground it trouble.  You can find the smallest object and it goes straight into your mouth.  A few things I have found in your mouth over the past month...small piece of ham, tiny rock, carpet, mulch and that is just to name a few.  I sure have been vacuuming a lot more since you have been crawling.  You have decided you are not a big fan of the car seat.  Any trip over 30 minutes and you are not happy.  That can make for a long car ride!!  I know that it is just a phase and that it too shall pass.  It seems like every phase is passing so quickly.  I look at you and see such a big girl.  Technically, you are still a baby, but to me you are not my little baby that I can hold and cuddle all day.  Nope, you don't have much time for cuddling these days because you have to be on the move.  That is okay, because it makes those moments I do get to cuddle you so much more special!!
