Last week, sweet Emmerson turned 7 months old! She is such a sweet, sweet girl. The biggest news of the month is that she started saying "Mama" last Thursday night! I know that she probably has NO clue what she is saying - but that doesn't mean that my heart doesn't melt when I hear it. It is just the best sound in the world! And Carter is so sweet...he always sits in front of her and tries to help her say it. And then he yells and claps and is SO proud when she does. Now he is trying to help her learn to say Carter ;) Other than that, she seems to be super close to crawling and pulling up. She gets on all fours...so as soon as she starts rocking a bit, I know the crawling is coming! For now, she just rolls around to get places - and when she's on her tummy she scoots backwards across the floor. Very resourceful! No news on the eating front - except I am going to start her on Stage 2 foods and maybe even some small finger foods soon. She is still waking up in the middle of the night - not sure if it's habit or hunger, but we're trying to work it out! Mommy and Daddy are TIRED!! Lastly, Carter seems to be Emmerson's favorite entertainment EVER. He can make her laugh SO much - she just stares at him, and looks for him when she can't see him. It is so sweet. And he just loves that attention (shocking, right?!) He is truly so gentle and sweet and supportive and encouraging of her. I pray it continues...because if it does, WOW! This will be one lucky little girl with truly the best big brother in the world! I sure do love these sweet babies!!!

 |
| Family Fun Festival at my new school! |
 |
| I can't believe C wanted to do this - I was SURE he'd be scared! It's a giant hamster ball... |
 |
| He loved it! And I couldn't believe how well he did running in it! Better than some of the older kiddos - that's for sure! |
 |
| LOVE this little onesie jersey! |

 |
| Ready to field that ball! |
 |
| LOVE how they play together...Carter is the SWEETEST. |

| What in the world are they both looking at?!?! |
 |
| Again, what are they looking at? Their expressions make me laugh! |
 |
| These are Carter's 2 Jack-o-lanterns (the BIG one we bought to carve as a family is not done yet!) |
