Tupperware...Everywhere!
Emry has discovered that she can open and close cabinet doors and drawers. While I was unloading the dishwasher this is what little missy was up to.
So Thankful
We are thankful for so much: shelter, food, clothing, good health, job security, family, friends, but especially for our beautiful, healthy, sweet baby girl and the opportunity to be parents. Emry had a great first Thanksgiving. We celebrated with the Sheriffs Nov. 20th and my side on the special day. She loved seeing her extended family from far away and can't wait to visit them again over Christmas break.

Another Cold
We're not sure if it's teething or what, but Emry has another cold. That's the second in the last two months. She has a LOT of snot along with a nasty cough. We can tell she's not feeling well because she lets us snuggle her without squirming away. She also has "sick breath" as I call it and droopy eyes. I hate seeing her like this because she can't tell me exactly what hurts and she can't rid herself of the mucus. I've been aspirating her nose several times a day the last few days. She HATES it and has learned to thrash her head from side to side. So, I've had to swaddle her with our big blankets and hold her head still. The entire time she wails, I sing, and tell her "mommy is helping you." I think she likes being wrapped up because she'll sit quietly well after we've finished de-boogering.
10 Months!
Our sweet angel turned 10 months today! Absolutely unbelievable! It's hard to think that almost a year ago, God gave us the best gift EVER! I have loved every moment of watching her grow and change these past 10 months. We love, love, love our bunner (as Steve would say). Here is what she's up to as a big girl:
* Weighs 19 lbs 2 oz
* Is 29 inches long
* Sleeps from 7:30pm-6:30/7 am
* Takes two, 2-2 1/2 hr naps
* Drinks three, 9 oz bottles of formula (no more nursing. Little missy bit me twice and drew blood.) NOT FUN!
* Has six teeth. Three on top, three on bottom.
* Eats all big kid food (except for milk and peanut butter)
* Is always on the move
* Pulls up and walks around things
* Can open cabinet doors and drawers
* Is sensitive
* Loves tipping over Rosie's food/water dish
* Loves bath time
* Turns head to find da-da or Rosie when I ask where they are
* Loves "The Wheels on the Bus"
* Wants to play with all electronics: phones, cords, computer mouse, remote, etc.
* Lets me know when the floor is dirty by picking up the TINIEST speck and attempting to eat it for snack
* Constantly babbles and says, "mmmmmm" after each bite of food
* Turns pages in books

Trick or Treat
Emry made her first Halloween debut as a baby cow. We started at a friend's party where there were all kinds of yummy food and adorable crafts! Emry finger painted a Peanuts poster, sponge painted an empty paint can, and assembled a candy corn character with sticky foam pieces. Steve and I were VERY impressed with her artistic talent. :) Of course she did everything all by herself (wink, wink).
After the party, we moved to our friend Scott and Natalie's neighborhood to trick or treat. Emry and her buddy Fletcher enjoyed a leisurely ride in our wagon as their older buddies collected candy. Her friend Gavin was also a cow! All in all, it was a spook-tacular Halloween!
