Emily and Skye

My cousin from Texas, who I have not seen in YEARS, came in town a couple of weeks ago with her adorable chunky monkey. Skye is about 3 weeks older than Emily..so it was fun to see the two of them interact. It was SO good to see them both..here are some pictures, and please note the size difference in these cuties..it was hilarious to put them side by side!

Sneaky little babies...

SNOW?!

We never get snow..it's always ice, which is obviously no fun to play in. At the young age of 8 1/2 months, Emily could care less what is covering the ground outside. But, I get super excited..especially since I am not working in the hospital anymore and actually get to enjoy a SNOW day!


I have never, to my recollection, built a snowman...ever. My first attempt today ended up with a snowbaby who looked like she could possibly be on a diet (she should share her tips with me..she is looking pretty slim)...but, all in all, I think she turned out pretty cute. Emily just stared at her probably thinking..give me that paci, now.

EIGHT months

Emily, you are now a big 8 months old (and you have still managed to bless your mother with baby weight..thanks). You are a ball of personality..and keep us all entertained on a daily basis. You are not a big fan of eating ANYTHING, but last night you did decide to pick up puffs and put them in your mouth..without spitting them out! Impressive. On Christmas day, you took a couple of steps crawling, but for the most part you are still just rocking and rocking. 
Bless your little heart, you have had two rounds of ear infections in each ear..not fun for you and not fun for your sleep deprived parents. I really hope tubes are not in our future.

Words:da da da da da da da is your favorite. Your Italian style maaa-ma has not been heard in a couple of weeks...I have to say, I am a little upset about this. You can clap, wave bye bye, and find the light. You are the happiest baby ever, as long as someone is in your face constantly entertaining you..high maintenance? Well, you do have some Taylor in you, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Ooops, Emily turns 9 months in 3 days...I wrote this blog a while back but I tried to upload the pictures differently..and messed it all up..talk about stressful. I thought I deleted my entire blog.
