I am 13 months old!

• I wear a size 4 shoe.
• I wear a size 4 diaper.
• This month I celebrated my 2nd Christmas.

• It snowed TWICE this month!


• I went to Sugar Moutain with GG, Papa Coach, Uncle Blake, Emily, and Mommy and Daddy.  I can't wait to go back next year when I'm old enough to go tubing!

• I went to visit Gran and Grandaddy this month and the Giant came home from college for a few days to visit with me!
• I'm walking more and more.
• I've started learning that I can climb on things which makes life quite interesting for whomever is watching me!
• I had strawberries for the first time this month and they were yummy!
• I went on green vegetable strike this month.  Although I will eat brocolli or peas mixed with yogurt but I don't like fruit mixed in my yogurt. (Strange, I know.)

Sunday Style Section

After not having internet access I'm definitely playing catch up with Sunday Style Section!  Emmie got so many cute clothes for Christmas and then I couldn't share them with everyone!  Hopefully the internet issue at our house will be solved soon!

This is an outfit that Paul's parents gave Emmie for Christmas and I LOVE it!  Really, what's not to love?  It's pink and green for my future DZ!

So...I really like this dress and when I bought the tights you couldn't see that there was red on them because of the way they were folded...I was not happy about the red but what can you do?  Next time we will wear this with some pink tights.

How cute is this consignment store find?  The sleeves are fuzzy!

Another cute outfit from Paul's parents!  The best part?

The matching hat!  On a side note...Emmie has suddenly become a hat fan!

This cute little knit dress is another consignment find.  I think she looks like a future tennis player...minus the crying...she was in a bad mood that day and this was the best I could get!

I love this purple outfit!  And it has a hat!  Uncle Blake gave this to Emmie for Christmas and she LOVES wearing the hat...she'll wear it with any outfit!

How cute is this little Ralph Lauren outfit?  It's from Paul's Aunt Shirley and it looks great with a big pink bow!

I think this is the picture of the week...the fauxhawk!  This was after her bath the other day...we were being silly.

Her fuzzy shirt again with some jeans.  We'd already been through 3 pairs of hot pink pants...her stomach was upset from the antibiotics she's on for her ear infection...poor baby.  Also stylish?  The rocking chair from Gran!  She climbed in and out all day.

I just think she looks so sweet in this picture!

Emmie in ALL her snow gear!

It's stylish to sled down a hill on a cookie sheet! 

Last but certaintly not least...Paul making a snow angel!  Ha!

Playdate

Last week my friend Tiffany from work and her daughter Josie came over to play.  Josie is 3 weeks younger than Emmie and they had lots of fun "playing" together.  We hadn't seen them in a while and Tiffany and I had a lot of catching up to do!

Emmie says...

Emmie wanted to make this post...she's quite excited about it!

Guess what everybody?  I've got a BIG announcement!  I'm soooo excited (I think)...

I'm going to be a ....

That's right!  My mommy's due date is July 23rd so she is 12 1/2 weeks pregnant!

Snow!

We woke up Sunday morning to snow!  I always enjoy a little snow...if it's going to be cold there might as well be some snow to play in!  Not only was there snow on the ground but it was STILL snowing and that's just my favorite.  I think there's something so beautiful and exciting about snow falling. 
They had been calling for snow on Sunday for about a week but the last report I'd heard said we would probably just get a dusting overnight...so I was pretty sure that meant we would get NOTHING...so I was quite shocked when I walked through the kitchen on my way to get Emmie up, looked out the window and saw the snow.  I ran back to our room and made Paul get up and come see the snow.  I yanked Emmie out of bed, stuffed some food in her mouth, and then stuffed her in some warm clothes to go outside!

All bundled up!

Our backyard.

Look's like Santa came back on Saturday night...we had reindeer prints on our roof!

front of our house

Franklin had a great time in the snow!  Until his ears got wet and then he turned into a spaz.

Our neighbor is stationed at Fort Jackson and they had a very awesome Army snowman!
