Happy Halloween!

It wouldn't be Halloween without a few (ha! Who am I kidding?) toddler tantrums, some puke from EL, and dead neighborhood. Happy Halloween!

9 months

Emmie Lou, you are 9 months old!

 You're a snuggly lump of sugar that still mostly wears 6 month clothes. Your attachment to me has grown tremendously. You rarely will let anyone else hold you, even Daddy! If I leave the room, you immediately start following me. You love scooting around and pulling up. You are starting to stand for 2-3 seconds on your own.

 For 3 weeks dear girl, you slept 12 straight hours at night. I rejoiced and celebrated. Now, you're up again 1, sometimes 2, times a night wanting to nurse. That's ok. You've had a rough week (stomach bug and an ear infection - see pic below) and you haven't nursed all that well during the day. I think you're playing catch up.  

You kick your legs like you're swimming when you get super excited. You've started crying like Chewbacca when you're angry. Your brother adores you and watches everything you do to make sure you stay safe ("No Emmie! You can't have that! You'll choke!") You love wagon rides, eating anything and everything, chewing on frozen teethers, Toots, and Momma. You bring us so much joy and we love you!
