299th post gets a video!

For this special "almost 300 posts" post, you get a video and some stats!

Emily had her 15 month checkup this week. She's weighing in at 22lbs 11 oz (50th%) and 31.5 inches long (75-90th%).

Our friends the Felkins in Nashville gave Emily a family heirloom when we went to visit last weekend. They gave Emily an "antique" Cookie Monster and she loves it. In fact, here she is snoozing on our drive home. She fell asleep before we even left the neighborhood. Tired girl!

 One more post till we reach 300! What do you want to know about our life in Lakeland?

15 months, almost

Here are a few pictures from today. This is the first time Emily wore this outfit and it was super cute, I had to catch her in digital form! You will be glad I did, the pictures turned out great! Photo ops outside is definitely the way to go!

We ran around the backyard for a few minutes and Emily found her dad's "stuff."

 And boy, was she ever happy about finding it.

 Yes, that's an exceedingly happy face.

This morning I was told Emily is looking more like her Daddy every day. Then a few hours later someone told me she's looking more like me. What do you think?

Such a sweet, precious girl

Happy 15 months, Emily!

I love my family

I love my family.

And I love spending time with them. This Christmas was no exception.

This year, we included a little lady photo shoot, of which you've already seen a few pictures. But now I finally have them all and you'll get to see a few more of my favorites!

See. Told you so.

Applique-ing during naptime

I made Em a shirt today during her nap time. I'm into owls right now.

It's pretty cute if I do say so myself. She'll probably only wear it once before it's too small. Wanna bet?

Snow Day!

We got 5 inches of snow last night. We haven't played in it much, but we did get bundled up and go out for a few minutes.
