Yippee!!!!!!!!

Emory passed her oral food challenge for milk today!!!!!!! That means that we can add dairy back into her diet as long as her eczema does not flare up in the next couple of days.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Just a picture for today. I hope everyone has a happy St. Patrick's day! The movers are coming tomorrow morning so I will have house pictures soon. :)

Sweet Dreams

Here are a few pictures of Emory showing off her new big bed. Her room is nowhere near finished, but it is now sleepable. (I promise the bright blue will make sense soon.) My goal is for Emory to start napping at the new house so that I can work while she sleeps. We watch this video almost daily in preparation for this transition. I don't anticipate any problems because we converted her crib to a daybed a few weeks ago. She loves to show everyone her new "be-yed" and how she climbs up and "dow".

18 Months

I can't believe that Emory is 18 months old! As you can see, she wasn't really in the mood to have pictures taken and wasn't about to let go of Molly. She surprises me with new things daily. Her current favorite things are Molly, Puppy (Boomer), Yennee (the movie Annie), bed (cinnamon raisin bread), and to color. She makes me smile constantly.

Pictures

Look closely, Emory has a black eye! It's almost gone and we have no idea how she got it, but it is there.

Emory has been asking for "bub-buls" constantly. She loves her bubble machine and gets very excited about them. She tries to catch them and loves to "pop pop pop".


Yes, she DOES know how to use a fork. However, she also knows how to play the "uh-oh" game (you know, see how many times Momma will pick it up when she drops it). I'm "Mean Mommy" and only give her a couple chances before the fork stays on the floor.

Introducing...

Elliott Keith Gunter

I'm so excited to have a new nephew! Congratulations Keith, Bethany and Merrin!

The tiny "big" girl.

See the tiny little baby, curled up in the corner of the "big girl" bed? That's my little baby girl, who climbs. She climbs EVERYTHING! She climbs big kid playground equipment, furniture and cribs. I literally caught her climbing over the crib rail, head first, Tuesday morning. We took the side off that afternoon and she's been happy ever since. Because she climbs everything, she now has nothing but a bed (and some pillows on the floor) in her room. We had to move everything else into the guest room. She does very well going to and staying in bed, I was very nervous that I would never get a full night's sleep again. Thankfully, she takes after both of her parents and loves to sleep.

Emory has also become very interested in dressing herself. I need to take a more recent picture because she can now get her shirt completely over her head and sometimes even get her arms in the sleeves. While I was brushing my teeth this morning Emory opened my bottom drawer and proceeded to put ALL of my swimsuits on, including the big straw sun hat. Granted she had her head through leg openings and shoulder straps, but they were all on her body. She was so proud of herself!

It amazes me how much Emory is accomplishing these days! She really is becoming an independent little girl. She asks to see Ri-yee and Me-yn every time I get on the computer. She loves watching videos, if you want her to learn your name, post a video. We watch Merrin's "big bed" countless times a day.

I will be posting updated pictures of our house very soon. :)
