10-Months: Emerson Marie

Princess Girl has been in this world now LONGER than she was in my belly. Whataboutit?! How did that happen? She is 2-months away from being 1-year old. I cannot believe it. Emerson has been an absolute joy from the day she was born. I have said time and time again, if the setting was right and I could have every child JUST LIKE her, I would literally have 3 more! She is such a good. baby. How did this happen? How did I become so blessed? God decided it was time for a Girl. My dad said she is a dream now. Just wait. She may make up for it later. We will see. She is too angelic for me to think like that. (Note to self: Remember this time of love and peace and innocence in 18-years..) Emerson has been full of energy, exploration, and independence. She is officially army crawling- yet, still rolling to get to where she needs to be. She is starting to do the "cruise" thing around her play table (I am still behind her; however). She is now saying: "MAMA!!!!!" She is starting to point to what she wants, she is sounding out more "sounds" and words. She is eating everything we eat: rice, chicken nuggets, turkey chili, cantaloupe, bread, pasta, peas, broccoli, carrots, soup, yogurt, etc. She is "dancing" to music, squealing to get other kids attention, riding in the wagon with Jacob on walks, paying more attention to books, giving "5" to Grandma Joey, petting her kitties, and loving her dolls (yes, I said dolls!!! I am getting really excited). Auntie Laurie laughs often about the fact that - "No one can put Emme to bed ...Mommy doesn't want to share "- this means that every second with her is so important to me because it is her and I time (she takes her morning nap while Jake is at school, so that leaves us no alone time)- I LOVE putting her to bed. We cuddle and talk and sing and read and laugh...it is my favorite time of day. Happy 10-months to my Beautiful Little Princess. Thank you for coming down from heaven for Mommy and Daddy. We cannot wait for this FALL...we have so much to look forward to.


As I say to your brother, and as one day you will hear, as I say to you too..."I love you more."
