Season Opener

Did you really think that Emma was not going to get dressed up for Clemson Football??? Like Mommy like Baby!

Here Emma is staring at Yiayia trying to figure out what the heck is so funny!
You've got to admit, that's pretty darn cute!
Daddy's not amused...

But, hey! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!!

11 Months Old

Well, I say it every month but I just can't believe Emma is 11 months old. She's doing great and really getting around on her own pretty well. She's into everything and it's all we can do to keep up with her. Here are a few pictures of her playing at home on her 11 month birthday...

Hmmm...what can I get into next?
This looks like fun!
But Daddy is always more fun!
I'm so cute!

Gooduh!

Emma doesn't say very many things aside from baby babble but she does sometimes say "Gooduh!" which I am pretty sure means Good dog! She speaks the truth. Poor Tibby. Emma just climbs all over her. Even the couch isn't safe! What a gooduh!

So everyone says that the tv will turn kids' heads to mush. But Emma loves buttons so much that we got her her own little tv to play with. She spends hours a day in front of it and it keeps her occupied long enough that Mommy and Daddy can go for a walk or out to dinner and Emma doesn't even realize we're gone! Now, now...don't get all freaked out! Of course we wouldn't leave Emma home alone. Geez! Sydney is always there with her!

A little jockey

Watching this movie it is clear to me that Emma just wants to ride horses. Here she is working out those leg muscles she'll need for riding two point!

Now that Emma is almost a year old, she's experimenting with new foods. She lovees scrambled eggs!
But feeding herself wears her out!

Jager Cameo...

Today Thea, Uncle Jeff, and Jager came to play! Emma was excited at first but then she realized that she wasn't allowed to smack Jager the way she does Tibby!

So Mommy got some play time with her nephew...
So did Daddy!
Jager is still getting medicine for his acid reflux but he takes it like a champ!
Emma decided that she'd just play by herself since she wasn't getting any attention.

Poor Baby!

While everyone else was playing with Jager, Emma decided to hang out with Uncle Jeff and talk Tiger Football.
Finally Daddy got around to playing with Emma again.
Here Emma is giving Jager "the eye" telling him to stay away from her Daddy!

Copycat...

Daddy was playing with Emma at the grocery store while Mommy was shopping the other week. While he was pushing her in the buggy he started bobbing his head from side to side and after some intense staring, Emma decided to join in. We thought it was just a one time thing but as you can see, she thinks that this is a lot of fun. She's such a copycat!

After the barn...

Although Mommy loves the smell of a horse farm, Emma had to have a bath when she got home from visiting Doc.


Then a little play time before Daddy puts Emma to bed...



And here's your kiss goodnight!
