Picture with Santa!

This was Emily's first pic with Santa. A very typical 1st Santa pic. I have 1 of Elliott with the exact same face. Elliott did really good though!!

Crazy Girl!

So this is how I found Emily this morning. Seriously!!! Boy did she have a wild night. It didn't seem to phase her a bit. Last night, Patrick put her to bed. He's only put her to bed a few times...so maybe this is his way of getting out of it?? Or maybe they are just super crazy pajamas she got from her grandma.

See that thing in her mouth??! Yes...that's her owl blankie...she can't go to bed without it!

Aviator's Grill

We went out to lunch at Aviator's Grill today with Mom's Club. But beforehand, we had a little tour of American Flyers next door to Aviator's Grill. Elliott had so much fun. He loved getting in the little plane. And all the kids loved running around in the restaurant watching the planes take off. We'd go more often if it was closer to us. It was one of Elliott's favorite Mom's Club activities.

Emily 16 Months

My sweet little stinker is 16 months today.

She's getting to be more of handful lately...not too terrible though. Especially since she's not walking yet. She did take her first steps on Elliott's birthday--Oct. 24th. But that's all she'll do...a few steps walking towards me, as long as I'm sitting of course.

Oh she is such a picky eater now!! Darn it!! She'll shake her head at me and blow raspberries at the food I'm attempting to give her. That stinker!

She has 6 teeth, but is currently cutting at least 1 molar. She has 4 teeth on top and 2 teeth on bottom and a random molar has cut through a few teeth over from her top ones. She isn't handling it well. She throws up and has diarrhea. Not fun times here. She has been on the cranky side too. 

She loves going to the gym with me in the mornings. She loves the worker there and crawls to her so fast and crawls into her lap....it's quite cute. I would be sad that she's happy with my replacement...but she does the same to me when I return. So I guess it's okay.

Love this little girl! She is such a girl too! She sits still now when I'm trying to put a bow in her hair...so cute! And if she takes it out...she does try to put it back!

Family Holiday Pictures

We had our pictures done last night. I was looking for a pretty inexpensive place, and this place was perfect. I really wanted to drive to Austin and have Brock take our pictures, but we really didn't have the time for that.

I was so impressed how good they are with kids! They were awesome with Elliott 3 years ago when we went. But our photographer was amazing with both of our kids this time. I thought Emily wouldn't put up with it...but she had so much fun.

These are the picture we snagged off their website. These are the pics we didn't choose. Way cute! Some very hard decisions.

Gosh my kids are so darn cute!!!

Merry-Go-Round

When's the last time you saw one of these old school merry go rounds?? Ha ha!! Elliott had a lot of fun with his playgroup with mom's club!!

Preschool Pics

How cute is my little guy!!!

He had preschool pictures and we just got them back. I am so so excited to frame them. I love this little guy of mine!! I am excited that this is the beginning of yearly school pictures....I know it's silly of me...but I really am excited.

Patrick and Elliott thought the bike one was silly...ha ha. I think it's funny that even Elliott said he didn't like this one. He's still cute!
