Emme at 11 Months

Emme is 11 months old today! I can't believe that she is almost a year old! Emme is such a happy baby. She always has a big smile ready. She likes to talk to Daddy on the phone, even when he isn't really on the other line. She holds the phone up and says "Da Da? Da Da!" and then she just smiles and dances while she chatters. Emme is an incredibly fast crawler, and because of that she isn't really interested in walking on her own. She does think that everyone should be willing to give her a finger to hold onto and walk with her as long as she wants you to. We had a lion walker that Elijah used, that Emme has been using. The only problem is that she has figured out that if she puts the seat down(to make it a little scooter thing) and sits on it and yells long enough Elijah will come behind her and push her around the house. She LOVES books, especially the kind that play music. I have been weaning Emme slowly for the last few months, and we are almost done! Yay! She has been really great about it, and thankfully she loves solid food! Emme goes into her bed for naps and for the night awake, and she is amazing at going right to sleep. It is funny because we can hear her over the monitor, turn on her glow worm and dance until she literally falls over asleep. Emme loves to dance! Anytime she hears any kind of music she immediately starts moving. Dustin and I joke that when she dances it really looks like she feels the music inside her little heart and soul. She even tries to snap her fingers! LOL We are so grateful for Emme in our family! She has brought amazing amounts of joy to all of us.
