17 Months + Fall Pics

Emma is a bundle of energy. Constantly dancing. Girlfriend has some moves. Constantly playing with her legos, balls, fly swatters, minnie and mickey, tupperware, babies, blankets. You name it, she's playing with it. And constantly reading books, well looking at books. We have a little Dustin on our hands with how much this girl loves her books. "Dog wants to Play", "Piggie Paints" (thank you Dolly), and "Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs". The list goes on, but those are her favorites. We all know when it gets really quiet that can only mean one thing.. TROUBLE.. so I ran in the living room to find her flipping through pages of her books. Wow. Can we say perfect child? I'm a little biased. 

Sleeping is still great. We ask her aroudn 745-8p, "Are you ready for bed?" and she grabs her baby, unicorn and pillow, walks towards the stairs and says "bed" while pointing upstairs. Hey smart girl. We then go upstairs and read around 10-15 books and then we are ready for cuddles, snuggles and bed time. 

Eating is still a hit or miss. Her favorites are hands down Mac and Cheese and applesauce. Still trying to work on those veggies, but still no go most of the time. Can't win them all. As long as she is eating, I'm happy and she is happy. 

Can we say goofball?

In other news, while I'm off over Christmas and New Years (Yes, my work gives us 2 weeks off. Wahoo!) I think we might attempt this whole potty training thing. I will be researching and asking my mama friends on what is the best way to do this. Anybody have any suggestions out there? It might be a long weekend after Christmas BUT I'm staying positive! 

Every morning I send Dustin a car seat picture of Emma on our way to school. This was yesterday on her 17 month birthday. She looks so old here. My red-headed blue-eyed beauty. 

So a couple of weeks ago we did some family pictures with the amazing and fabulous Alli Golden. She took them on a Sunday morning at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin. I'm literally obsessed with every. single. shot. she took. She must have slipped Emma some happy pills because she is smiling or being a goof in every pictures. And to top it off, when we finished up Emma held Alli's hand while walking to the car. Precious.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Dustin and I are thankful for so many things this year. Our little girl, our marriage, our family, our home, our health, and our God. Without Him none of us would be here and none of these things would matter. 

I'm grateful and thankful to and for Him.  

XOXO
