Christmas

Tomorrow is Emery's first Christmas....and she won't remember a thing. In face she'll try and eat the wrapping paper.

There are these little moments with her that i feel...I can't describe it. Just amazing. She laughs and giggles. Then other times she just puts her head on my shoulder like it's just us. Other mom's can tell you 1,000 times how much they love their kids, but it doesn't even come close to this. You can't put this into words. There is this little girl that lives in my house that thinks i'm the coolest person in the world....and all i want to do is be with her. I'm happiest in the mornings when it's just the three of us lying in bed. I love it. I love being with my two favorite people and just hanging out.

I'm really excited about tomorrow. Dave made dinner tonight, he did the seven fishes. It was AMAZING! He even made coconut shrimp just for me! His are so good I don't even bother ordering them out anymore. It used to be the first thing i went to on a menu. Now I don't bother, because they don't even come close to his.

Natalie, Livvy, Carole and Enzo are all in town!! It's so great having everyone here. I feel bad that Dave's family couldn't be with us. I know he misses them.

..........more to come tomorrow.

Sick

So we're back from Orlando, her double ear infection is gone. Yeah. But...we're now sick. I'm sick, she's sick. Dave's sick. It's one big sick happy family. But we'll be fine by Christmas.

She is on the move. She comes into the kitchen now. Before she'd stay in the family room on the carpet. Now she will try to find where you are. Dave was doing dishes the other night and she kept crawling over there and pulling herself up on him. I put her back in the family room and she tried again. It was really cute. She wanted to be with her daddy. She did get stuck a few times under the chairs in the kitchen. She thinks she can fit then half way through realizes she can't and panics. It's sad, but very funny.

She pulls up on everything now. The couch, the back door, the chairs, and the funniest...the bathroom shower door. I have the dogs because mom and dad are in Boston. So yesterday Emery was home with me b/c she was miserable. I needed to shower so I put her in the bathroom with some toys and closed the door, well of course the puppies had to be with her. So the three of them are hanging out while i shower and she crawls over to the shower door and pulls herself up. Well i though this was cute so i crouch down and start waving at her. she now realizes she can see me and can't get to me....panic sets in. But oh wait I can't open the door b/c she's standing there holding herself up with it. So I spend the next 10 minutes saying "sit down Emery, sit down so mommy can open the door".

Dec Update

I don't think I can really put into words how much I love this little girl....so i'm not even going to try. But i think you get the point. (it's a lot)

She is so cool. She laughs and giggles. She pulls herself up on everything and crawls all over the place. She is eating food really well and just started pooping on the potty! It's amazing.

We just came back from Orlando for the Baseball Winter Meetings. BaseBall Bingo had a booth there. It was great! I think that's what I was born to do. I was in my element. Emery did great down there too. She was with Nana most of the time.

... more too come. got a lot to do today.

Bubba

I miss her today. I find myself looking at photos of her throughout the day. She is very happy at daycare now though, and that makes everything better. Knowing that makes me happy. We have our play group today then we're headed to the Publix then making dinner with Prisha. We head down to Orlando on Sunday for the Baseball Winter Meetings. We'll be there for a few days.
