9 Months

Friday My baby girl will be 9 months old. She is growing up so fast and is just the cutest thing! She Loves to give kisses, clap her hands, and give high fives. She is starting to kinda sorta say Momma. She is learning to walk behind the push walker thing. Emery is developing her own little personality and boy does she have one! Her sitter calls her miss Swicey, a mix between sweet and spicy. I would say it fits her pretty darn well :0 She has four teeth up top and two on bottom. Emery knows what the word "No" means and makes the same grunting noise and face like "seriously me?" every time she hears it. Even when we are talking to the dogs ha ha. She likes trying new foods but you know pretty quick whether or not she likes it. She is becoming more of a daddy's girl which Archie just adores.

I am so happy with our life right now. Everything is just perfect and I am thankful everyday for my family. I feel so blessed. In this moment, life is perfect :) Emery brings so much Joy to our lives and we soak up our family time with each other. And since Archie has gotten his new job he is home way earlier which we love!

She is such a good little shopper! Easy going and LOVEs to people watch
This child loves water and I mean LOVES it. She has to get a bath every night just because she loves it so much. And always crawls to the tub ready to get in.
Sweet Thang!
This outfit was so cute but she wasn't in the mood to pose. We were running late for church.

Emery pushing the walker for the first time!

July 4th and the snot!

July 4th weekend we went down to Tiki and stayed at the Nance's beachouse. There Emery had her first boat ride in Jon's boat. While she loved the ride she despised the life jacket I made her wear. I am very fearful of Emery around water because she loves it so much. I have nightmares of her drowning, crazy I know but the minute she is old enough for swim lessons I am there.
Emery and Scarlett playing in the pool in their matching swimsuits :)

Sorry for the bikini shot but it is VERY rare that I am in the picture with my sweet girl. So sometimes I just have to post some proof ya know!
Here is Emery trying to push the walker. She isn't quite ready for this yet.
Splashing!
Last weekend we went to Lake Charles for a short trip. Saturday she got in the pool and then all of a sudden took a nap on Stacey. This is shortly after a two hour nap. This I believe is when she started to feel bad. We left LC Sunday at 1130 and it was downhill from there. My sweet baby girl was sooo sick. SOOOO congested she couldn't breathe so she wouldn't eat. And this girl never misses a meal. Sunday night was bad. Monday night was REALLY BAD. Tuesday we went to the Dr and I stayed home from work. Dr said it was congestion and a "mild" ear infection. We got a script for amoxicillin and prayed things would turn around. Tuesday night was MISERABLE. I mean really almost unbearable. She didn't want to sleep laying down bc she couldn't breathe. And she was starving bc she couldn't eat. The only position that made her content was standing up. Well neither me nor Archie is good at sleeping standing up so we took turns. Wednesday I went to work bc honestly I needed a break. And I am happy to say That she slept good last night and seems to be on the up and up. I got this awesome snot sucker that has rocked Me and Emery's world. I doubted it when I purchased it at HEB because the packaging did not make it look too powerful, but let me tell you it is magnificent. It is crazy the things I am thankful for these days. I used to be thankful for a great bottle of Pinot Noir, now I rejoice over the goldmine of a snot sucker I found! I would not change a THING! I love my little family.
This is a pic of her last night. I sent this to my mom and she said Emery looked like a little boy in this pic :( I had her shirt off because I rubbed her chest, neck, and back down with Vick's. I was pulling out all the stops to make her feel better. She is getting brave walking around the furniture and her toys. But for some reason the push walker thing she just wont do.... Who knows! I am looking forward to Jessica's wedding on Saturday and Girls day and night in Tiki Saturday night!
