Happy Spring! Maybe...

Well, today was the first day that is was actually warm enough outside that we could wear jackets instead of coats, and that under those jackets we could all wear short sleeves! Yay! Emme had her 9 month doctor appointment today, and we were able to find out how big she has gotten. Embry now weighs 15lbs 4oz, which means that she is only in the 3rd percentile for weight. She must take after her brother, he is only in the 3rd percentile for his weight as well. She is also 26 1/2in long and in the 15th percentile. The doctor is a little concerned about her size, and so he took blood to run a panel of blood work. When Elijah was this age (and this size) his doctor ran the same panel. She was very brave and did not cry a single time when they drew the blood. Elijah on the other hand couldn't watch and said that he had to "look at the puter on the desk while they hurt Emme."

9 Months

Embry is 9 months old today! Emme is very feisty, and once she sets her mind on something there is no changing it. She loves to get into trouble and to do things she is not supposed to, all with a huge grin on her face. She especially loves to sneak up the stairs and hide up in her room. She also loves to be in the kitchen to "help" me cook and load the dishwasher. She LOVES Elijah and wants to be involved in everything he does. She says both mama and dada, and I am excited for her to start saying Elijah. She walks while holding onto things, and she tries to let go of things to stand by herself. Emme has a great deep little giggle and a smile that lights up her whole face. We love that she shares both with us very often.

Emme Can Walk

Last night I decided to bring in Elijah's old walker from the garage to see what Emme would do with it. And she walked! She grabbed right onto the handle, and off she went. She is actually really good at it, especially for only going to be 9 months on the 22nd. I tried to get a better video so ya'll could see her awesome skills, but brother was quite jealous of Emme getting video taken, and this is all I could get. But I think it is still cute.

Happy Snow Covered Easter

The Easter Bunny came early to our house this year. The kids got their easter baskets, or in Elijah's case his Easter pirate ship, today because we are going to my parents this weekend, and they will have another Easter there. The Easter Bunny came to Green Bay along with snow. Last night we got five or six inches of snow, and had quite the thunderstorm to go with it. Dustin and I didn't know there was such a thing as a thunder snow storm until this year. Who would've thought there could be snow, thunder and lightening all at the same time? Especially when last week we had tornadoes and rain storms. There were 10 tornadoes in our area last week! Crazy Green Bay weather.

Emme has Two Teeth

If you look closely at Emme's bottom gum, you can see her two little front teeth.
