November 20

Once again, it's been a while since we last updated! :o) Lots more pics to share! Baby girl changes so fast! From week to week (& even day to day), she learns how to do more things all the time.....from taking small steps as she holds onto furniture to turning pages in a book. It's incredible to watch her grow!! Here's our sweet Emma Joy...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our little pumpkin!
(All babies have to be a pumpkin sometime, right?)
Emma spent her first (& probably not her last) Halloween at
our church Fall festival. It was lots of fun for all of us.

Emma' s first camping trip...
We went with some friends from church, but we didn't end up spending the night. It was very cold, plus we weren't sure how that would work since I'm still nursing & Emma still wakes up in the middle of the night....didn't want to wake up everyone and their dog--literally! :o)

Here's Miss Emma Joy--still loving every second of bath time! Whenever we rinse her shampoo off, she makes this face....eyes closed tight and tongue out! It's too cute! She makes the biggest mess splashing around too. Her squeals of delight crack us up everytime!! I guess (hope) this is normal, but she just sits and talks and talks and talks to her toys. It is pretty funny to watch.
Bath time is a fun time for EVERYONE! :o)

Here's Emma playing with Jeb (our chocolate lab).
She LOVES all animals...another fun thing to watch!!

Here's the crazy cat from across the street! It SPRINTS to our porch whenever it sees us outside (and no, we've never fed it or anything like that). It is the friendliest little kitten, and Emma LOVES watching it and playing with it!

Here is Nana with baby girl falling asleep on her shoulder!
It was really sweet!

And here's Grandpa and Emma
--of course, wearing a cowboy hat! :o)

Emma likes to come join us in bed on Saturday
mornings....we have fun playing and being silly together.
We raise the blinds, she stands up on the headboard, and looks outside. In this picture, she's going for Daddy and/or the camera.

Sometimes Emma Joy likes to sit on the couch and play with her toys like a big girl (with mommy or daddy right there close by, of course). Everything still goes straight for the mouth--working on some more teeth!

Sorry to disappoint, but we still can't get "a teeth picture." We try, as you can see, but she doesn't like us much afterwards! :o) Take my word, there's not much cuter than seeing your little baby girl grin with 2 little teeth! Amazing!!!

That's all for now!
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! :o)
SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR...
