Emersyn’s Cake Smash

Emersyns cake smash session was def an interesting one! I did it by myself with a two year old running around. Remind me next time to make sure I have someone to help me! Lol. 

Emersyn Birthday theme is of course Kate Spade! I’m so excited for her Birthday Party! Her cake smash turned out so cute! Although she was not sure about the cake.. when it fell over she was like what happened.. and then she was done!

Letters to Emersyn - 11 Months Old

Dear Emersyn,
I have been so behind on this post! I’m not ready for you to be 11 months.. that means your almost ONE!! Which also means your that much closer to being a toddler rather than a baby. I am not ready for that by any means.
This past month has gone by so fast! The older you get the faster time goes by. You went from my squishy little baby to the toddler on the go.. In less then a year!

But you are such a goofball and happy baby. You can wave and blow kisses and Daddy taught you how to high five. Your picking up on so much more these days. 

Waking up every morning and see you giggling and playing in your crib waiting for the day to start can brighten any mood you wake up in. When Charleston and I walk in to get you out of bed, you have the biggest smile on your face. I just gobble you up and kiss you all over and you just giggle and giggle. You will never know how much your daddy and I love you and your sister. We our so blessed to call you our girls.

You started walking! Yes I know I'm aware I said walking! We talked about this a little in the last blog, but nothing like you have been this past month. Its crazy to see how fast you can move around these days. Keeping you still is locked up with the key thrown away. You love chasing Charleston around or even Hera. You three are like the 3 musketeers. Ready for trouble.

Every time I look in your mouth you have gained more teeth. Currently you have 8 teeth. Which your right on track with Charleston. She had about the same amount on her first birthday. You love all food.. just like your sister. Everything you have tried you have loved. I'm hoping it stays that way too. You love your food though. I have been unsuccessful from spreading out your bottles / meals. No matter what you eat.. your ready to eat 4 hours later. On the dot! Your favorite snacks include yogurt melts and puffs. Even though you still prefer your bottle, turkey is def your favorite food. You will take that from Charleston's hands in a heart beat.

We don't see the pediatrician again till your one year check up. I have put you on our scale a few times. I believe you were roughly 18lbs the last time I checked. Your still wearing 6 months clothes for the most part, but your starting to wear some 9 month clothes depending on brand. Your still in size 3 diapers. You love the water, but you hate the bath. I haven't figured this one out yet. But were still working on that one.

You did have one of your first butt explosions this month. You have had a few but nothing that came out of the diaper.. this one.. I got you out of your crib bc you were crying and hungry so I changed your diaper and put you in the rock n play and went to kitchen to make your bottle. I was not gone 5 minutes and I come back to my room and I'm thinking to myself.. why does it smell like a poopy diaper in here. I turn the light on you and you are COVERED... I mean covered head to toe! It was coming out every angle possible of your diaper and you were just laughing. It was not funny by the least. I did laugh though. I picked you up and held you at arms length and just put you in the tub. Rinsed you off.. put the rock n play cover in the washer. Put you back in the crib and gave you your bottle. Mommy laid back done. I was done mommy-ing after that one. Lol. I'm sure it wont be the last though.

My favorite thing about this month is you started giving kisses back. Your eskimo kisses are the best. I absolutely love when you walk over and just crawl in my lap. You don't snuggle too often, but when you do its the cutest and I take in every minute of it. You have never been one that needed rocked or snuggled to go to bed. You would prefer me to just put you in the rock n play or even the mamaroo and you just rock yourself to sleep. I have a love hate relationship with that. It makes things easier on some nights, because Charleston is still a snuggler and still wants one of us to cuddle her to sleep.

This next few weeks watching you turn into a toddler is going to be hard for me, so I may steal a lot more kisses from you. Don't worry you probably wont remember then when you get older!

Mommy loves you sweet girl!
