Fall Family Pictures 2016

Thank you to my awesome sister-in-law for taking our fall family pictures. They turned out great!

November 2016

Here is what we were up to in November.

Emma has started acting really silly on purpose trying to get us to laugh at her or make herself laugh. She LOVES peek-a-boo!

She also loves "helping" around the house. Sweeping, unloading the dirty dishwasher, doing laundry, picking up her toys, and helping dad build furniture. 

She has a new fascination with putting things on her head and walking around like that. She is constantly running into walls because she can't see through her blanket. 

She loves to read and dance as well. 

She still loves her daddy fun. 

She also has learned how to blow bubbles in the bath. 

Victoria came up to visit so Emma soaked up some auntie time

This is what i dealt with for an hour after Victoria left. 

We went to the lake for Thanksgiving.

 We took family pictures the day after Thanksgiving and Emma liked to pose in her Christmas dress.

 She had another good month at daycare, although after being out a week for Thanksgiving break made for a few rough weeks of drop offs.
