Today Emma Kate is 13 months old. I'm racing with a monitor in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other to finish this post because both babies are down for a nap....the clock is ticking haha!
Also, I'm going to share some of the 100 pics I took last weekend. There was nothing major happening around here, it was just a lazy normal weekend mostly spent around the house, but I went crazy with the picture taking. Guess these babies are just too cute I couldn't help it!!
Okay, Emma Kate at 13 months old...you are WONDERFUL! Offically a walker! It happened 6 days after her 1st birthday. Now you walk everywhere. It's so cute just to see you cruise around the corner walking or walk back to your room to go get your Ernie doll or Kitty Meow Meow. Brett and I still look at each other and can't believe she's actually walking. Lots of talking and jabbering. Some of the words you say: mama (24/7 yay!), mommy, dada, daddy, Jac, J, hi, bye bye, ball, toe, no (not my favorite word), go, Na (short for Nash), duck, clock, tat (for cat), dog, wow (that one started just this AM). Everyday you amaze me with new things you learn or can say. You LOVE LOVE LOVE reading/looking at books! You go into your room and sit down and look at your books daily. You like to point to pictures and have Lolly, Mom, or Dad say what the word is or you point and say something. You love playing on your Pottery Barn anywhere chair. All the dolls and stuffed animals "live" on the chair. The favorite game is throwing them off, sit or stand on the chair, get off the chair, pick up a doll and give it love, then start the whole process over again roughly a 100 times a day. You like to play in your house in the corner of the living room. You play peek-a-boo with us through the door windows. You LOVE Jack! Touching him, checking on him, and saying his name makes you happy. You also like to go have sleepovers at Lolly & Pop's house about once a week now. They love having you stay over the night & then you play with Lolly most of the next day. You make yourself right at home in their house!
This is such a fun stage. People say it keeps getting better and I just don't know how because she's so funny and great to be around now. Love you sweet Emma Kate!!!

Baby Jackson likes looking at the lights on his activity mat
Happy man in his swing :)

Look who got into the pantry!
Why not just read a book in the front entry way?!?
walking & clapping for herself
At a playdate...her friend Caroline was pushing her. :)

Jackson doing tummy time
He's happier now that he's being held upright by Daddy
or he likes to be carried facing forward
EK playing on the activity mat
"All this playing makes me tired Daddy!"
having a chat with him

making herself laugh!
EK loves pointing out different parts of our faces. Teeth, nose, eyes, ears, hair.
going for a walk with Mom
pink car, hat, and cell phone she's ready to roll
Every night almost we sit out by the pool with baby J after EK has gone to bed
playing in her house
I was going to a friend's baby shower so EK and I were saying "bye bye"
All she wanted to do was say "ball ball ball"
The babies got their own indoor playset! Fun times ahead.
We're in the process of making our formal living & dining room into a playroom, guess Emma needed to go check it out after bathtime.
sweet naked baby!
