Sippy Cup

After many weeks of trying to get Emily to drink out of a sippy cup she finally did last night! Today she drank the whole amount!!! Yea!!!
She has been a sick little girl this past week. She ran a high fever and has not felt good at all. She went 11 months before needing her first antibiotic. She spent yesterday and today catching up on all the sleep she missed the last few days but she is now on the mend. We are so thankful that she is feeling better.

We hope you all have had a great 2007. We have had such a blast watching Emily thru her first year of life. We are looking forward to 2008!!!!

First Christmas

Emily's first Christmas was spent at her Grandmother's house. She dressed up in her santa outfit and hat and had a great time. She got lots of new toys and has been enjoying them!


Here's Joe's sister Leslie with her two dogs Maddie and Shug:

Merry Christmas!

We had our family Christmas tonight. Emily got a book about the sea in her stocking and a train and ball toy and baby doll from us. It looked so weird for the package to say To: Emily From: Mom and Dad!!! Bud even got in on the fun too.

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Talking on the phone

I had to put this picture on here this morning. Emily has two play phones in her toy box and over the last few weeks Joe and I would pick up one of the phones and put it to our ear and talk on it and then put it to Emily's ear. Well this morning I watched her put the phone to her ear and jabber away. It was so cute! I could only get the back of her head because if she sees the camera she comes crawling to me wanting to play with it:

Right after I snapped this photo she dropped the phone and came crawling to me to play with the camera:

11 Months Old!

Emily is 11 months old today!

Visiting Santa

We went to visit Santa this morning at the Marietta Square. "Santa"'s sister lives in Montgomery and she is the lady that arranged all the flowers for our wedding . . . it's a small world!


Here's Emily and Joe waiting patiently in line to meet Santa.

Getting ready for Christmas

I got some pictures of Emily tonight hanging out by the presents. I can't wait to see her try to open them for Christmas!!!
