"I Love to Color"

Emilee loves to color. She actually colors the pictures on the page rather than just scribbling all over the page. As you can see in the pictures above, she holds the crayon exactly like you're supposed to rather than the standard toddler grip. What can I say, she's such a little smarty pants. She says over 40 words now and she is putting phrases together now. The other day she said, "Ma Ma, Elmo all done". The "books" say that toddlers should be saying 20 words by the time they are two, I'm so proud that she's ahead. Both Chad and I struggled all through school, our prayer is that things continue to come easy for her.

"Winter Fun"

So we bundled Emilee all up and took her out for her fist experience with snow. She hated being all bundled up at first, but once she got out there, she had a lot of fun. We played until her little hands were freezing. Isn't she just the cutest?!!!

It's Official

Well, the day is finally here. I have waited almost a year for this......I'm finally working part time. I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to be home with my daughter more. It means so much to me and I'm sure Emilee appreciates it too. :-) I couldn't have done it without having the BEST husband in the whole wide world. He has picked up a second job and sacraficed all his extra time to make this possible. We don't have a lot of time together as a family during the week, but we have every weekend together and cherrish every second of it. Thank you so much, honey, you're the best.

Merry Christmas

I know.....I'm a little late posting a Christmas post, but I was very busy over the Holidays. I only had one day off......Chirstmas. We had a really great Christmas. It was a lot of fun with Emilee. She got some Dora stuff and also some more Dora stuff and then a little of Dora stuff. Oh my word, the girl has Dora EVERYTHING!!!! She loves it though. Her favorite is the Dora chair that her Grandma Young got her. She is so cute. She sits in it everday with her oversized Dora blanket and watches....what else, Dora. :-) Hope you all had a great Christmas too.
