December Photo Project Dec 12th

Let it Snow!!!! It is Emma Kate's first snow.....of course it didn't stick and it was too cold for me to take her out in it, so I took a picture!

Okay, so you probably can't see the snow flakes. it is so obvious that we don't get much snow around these parts. We get WAY TOO excited about the chance of a chance of flurries. School got out early the other day because there was a small chance of flurries......yes, I am serious. Do not judge us! Okay, judge us. I judge us.

I have the cutest baby in the world. And for the record, I can say that because every mom in the world thinks that their child is the cutest child in the world. SO, my baby is. the. cutest. baby. in. the. world.

Charlie and Emma Kate love boxes and they love each other too! Lil' ham loves to play naked with her towel on her after her bath. She and Charlie played like this for several minutes this morning.

It was cold, obviously, so Emma Kate and I spent the afternoon inside putting up "stuff" that she has outgrown. She was a big help!

And we ended the day, making our "run" around the kitchen/dining area/living room before going to get a bath and bed. We have a huge problem keeping her socks on her feet......note to self, teach her that socks stay on her feet and not in her mouth. Silly girl!

Stay warm tonight!

December Photo Project Dec 11th

Oh how I love rainy Saturdays, especially the ones when my husband is off work! We spent the entire day together!!!!! of course Emma Kate woke me up early this morning (as usual) and we played and had breakfast and a bath before daddy woke up. As you can see, our little girl is a ham! Always being funny!

She brought her sunglasses to me and wanted me to put them on her.........Silly girl!

She is growing up everyday, because today she started standing by herself without holding onto something for balance....it may have been the that she was concentrating on the snacks on the table, but no matter.....she stood there and ate them forever without grabbing hold of the table. Take note that her pal Charlie is watching her intently in case she drops something (he doesn't want her to have to bend over to pick it up I am sure.....HAHA! He is always under her feet when she eats).

Til tomorrow~

December Photo Project Dec 10th

I can't believe I am hanging strong with the photo project! Go me! Well, lil' bit and I hung around the house this morning (because we are exhausted from the lack of sleep...no thanks to those dadgum teeth!) and then we ventured out into the cold to run errands this afternoon. I have to say that I am a BIG bargain hunter and I NEVER pay full price for ANYTHING! So, I got a $10 gift card to Kohls in the mail (they mail me one every 6 weeks or so) and then I printed a 15% off total purchase coupon.....and off to Kohls we went!
We searched through the infant clothes (there is not one tootin' cute little baby girl thing anywhere! It all looks like junk. I want sweet, just fyi). So, I found a pair of leggings to go with a jumper I made and then we made our way to the toys. Man, did Emma Kate and I have fun with the toys! I know that Christmas is just around the corner and I bought all her toys and such back in September, but I needed to feel like a part of the buying in December, ya' know. So, we picked out a toy. ........... Ready for the big part?????????
I bought a $10 pair of leggings and a $30 toy (all for EK) used my $10 gift card, my coupon, plus the in store sale prices and I only paid............................................... drum role.............. $8.59!!!!!!!!! That is correct o mundo ....... I bought  $40 worth of merchandise for lil' bit and paid $8.59.....I LOVE saying that over and over. GO ME! I couldn't wait until Christmas to give her the toy because we had too much fun playing with it in the store and it came with a music cd and we just had to listen to music and dance to it!

Here is lil' bit with her new toy.... a phone that that rings and plays music and teaches colors and numbers. I think she likes it!

We finished the night with a little supper, some playtime with Charlie, and a little Christmas Tree enjoyment.

Good night followers!!!!!!!!!!!!

December Photo Project Dec 9th

If I had started the first day of the DPP then I would be on an all-time streak of blogging...wait a minute....I am on a streak of daily posts. I have officially blogged more this week than in the past 6 months!
Today was so cold, and I am NOT a fan of cold weather. So, I opted for us to remain indoors today. It was wonderful, because I got to lounge in my oh so comfortable yoga pants and sweatshirt. Lil' bit "helped" me in the kitchen, just as she does everyday......

I can't believe my sweet baby is 10 months old! I have started mulling over the birthday plans and I am excited, but don't want it to come so soon either! My baby girl is growing up too fast. Please stop growing Emma Kate!

Good night dear followers! Until tomorrow.......

December Photo Project Dec 8th

I have to say, I completely forgot about tonight's blog. All I can think about is going to bed, so it will be made short and sweet .....
Little booger LOVES to help me in the kitchen, so my days are filled with her under my feet "helping" me. She gets a kick out of the dishwasher and my tupperware cabinet. Not quite sure why, but whatever keeps her busy while I am busy in the kitchen! :-)
I took pictures today, but I am too tired to actually download them tonight. The photo below is an account of a regular occurrence in the kitchen! This was taken the other day. Here she is, mommy's little helper. I fill the dishwasher and she empties it, only she takes it out before it has a chance to go through the cleaning process! That's my little booger!

Goodnight dear followers! Maybe we can hope for a little more adventure tomorrow? Maybe a few pictures and a much more exciting post? One can only hope!

December Photo Project Dec 7th

Not much to blog here...just wanted to do my daily post for the photo project. Poor baby was IRRITABLE today (not her usual self....thanks to the tooth that is trying to come in.) We have 6 teeth, and I think another is soon approaching.....only because she started grinding her teeth last night. Might I say, it is like nails on a chalk board. So, because she didn't feel good, I only snapped one photo today. I was sitting on the floor looking at the computer and she came over to me and put her little head down on my thigh and started humming. Before I knew it, she was out cold.

 Yes, I was still wearing my flannel pjs......and for good a reason! It was freezing outside!!!!!!
 Goodnight!!!!!!!!

December Photo Project (a late start)

I heard about this Project through a facebook friend, and then saw where lots of bloggers that I am following are doing this. I thought it would be a great "boost" for me to post on my blog everyday! I take pictures all of the time, I just have a hard time following up with blogging!
 If you are interested in doing this project and starting a few days late like myself, then go over to December Photo Project 

This is Emma Kate's first Christmas. We have put up the Christmas tree (even a small one on her dresser) and all the decorations. the town parade was this past weekend and we loaded up and braved the windy weather and Emma Kate slept in the truck until Santa made his grand appearance. but hey, that is the most important part right? So, I am sad to say that we only snapped one photo of her at the parade and my hair was TOO wind blown in the picture to even brave putting it up on my blog for the world to see! I will share with you dear followers the little helper I had while putting up the tree last week........

We have learned to "touch, not pull" OR to sit and look. She is one smart little booger!  Our little Cutie Patootie!!!! I did not want to push our luck, so I have opted out of putting gifts under the tree, especially since we will be at my parents for Christmas. 

She just turned 10 months old yesterday and I feel time slipping away from me....... Our precious baby in her 10 month pictures yesterday. .....being sweet and posing now.......

One sweet picture is enough.......now to be a little ham for the camera...................

Well, I have tried to cram the past 5 days into this post, since I am starting on this project late. Emma Kate and I usually chill around the house and snap pictures and play...so welcome to our fun-filled life, a life that some people find boring, however we LOVE our life and are truly BLESSED!
