14 Months and a FUN weekend

Emily Kathryn turned 14 months last week. Some things I'd like to remember about the last month include:

--EmK has her one-year molars. So that makes 12 teeth!
--She is now a picky eater. She isn't as quick to try new things. (and her favorite thing is probably goldfish crackers).
--EmK can say "dada", "mama", and "bye-bye"....however she says "dada" ALL day long!
--She seems to be enjoying books more and I sometimes find her sitting in her room surrounded by all her books. I've tried to get a picture, but as soon as she sees the camera she gets up:)
--EmK 'babbles' non-stop and I love hearing it even if I don't understand.
-- She loves going outside and cries when we come back in.
--and Emily Kathryn just figured out how to get on her riding toys:)



My mom and niece, Elizabeth, came to visit this weekend. We read LOTS of books!



I also learned a lot about 10 year olds:) For example, two extremely important things to a 10 year old girl include anything with glitter and sparkles:) My mom and I took Elizabeth to my favorite fabric store to get some fabric for a tiered skirt. The first thing she said when we walked in is "where is the black leopard print". What? The next thing she told me is that she wouldn't wear anything with flowers. What? After a VERY long time in the store we finally found some great material.

Friday afternoon we worked together on her skirt. Yesterday we went shopping at the Summit. We decided to have a fashion show to try on some of the new stuff we got from shopping. Jordan decided we should "spice" up our pictures so he got out the bubble maker...and before long EmK wanted in on the fun! Oh, and when I asked Elizabeth if she was going to pay me for making the skirt she said "We're family!!!" Yes, we are and I love her SO much!!!

Please take note of the "glitter" on Elizabeth's brand new flip-flops....and you can't really see, but she has on new "bling" including a ring, bracelet, and earrings all from a girl's dream shop...Claire's.







It was a FUN and very informative weekend:) I can't believe Elizabeth is going to be 10 in a couple of months. I can still remember being in the my last quarter (yes it was quarters then) at Auburn when I got the call that my sister was in labor. I love this sweet girl SO much!! She asks TONS of questions and it's so fun to have conversation with her. I know there is a big age gap between Elizabeth and EmK, but I really hope they are close when they are older....hopefully just like sisters:)

I have evan with me at the office today and I showed him the blog and he wants to play bubbles with EmK. He does not understand that we can't just be there to play with her. Thought the pictures were great and Elizabeth talked all the way about coming and thanked me several times for bringing her and how much she enjoyed herself. Miss yall already. Love Memee
