1 month

Emery will be 1 month old tomorrow. It's been fun for me to look back at pictures of Ty at her age and compare looks and growth. Emery is her own little self, with not many characteristics of Ty. I'm excited to see what she'll look like as she gets older.

These days, Ty loves to wear my shoes and walk around in them. He loves to wear any shoes... he will have shoes on, go get more in his closet, and ask me to put them on him. I try to explain that I can't get them on over his shoes, and that he already has shoes on. He just loves shoes. Isn't that what girls are supposed to love?

I am not worried about that. As much as he loves shoes, he loves his TRUCKS, CARS, & TRACTORS even more. We have about a gazillion around the house and he plays with each and every one. At bed time, the most popular books we read are all about trucks. He makes the sound effects, and can point out a tractor or semi from a mile away. I love my boy.

Emery sleeps pretty well at night, except for the grunting, but that's another story. But I think she really likes sleeping in our bed. I snapped this shot one morning, then was reminded of a picture of Ty when he was about the same age.

This is Emery...

... and Ty. So cute.

Ty likes sitting in whatever chair Emery is not. He's a good big brother, always keeping Emery company. He likes bringing her toys and stuffed animals, and giving her kisses. So sweet.

We went on a walk this morning in the cold weather. We got all bundled up for the ride. I wanted to try out our new double stroller that YaYa got for us!! Thanks again YaYa! We had lots of fun, and I know the kids & I will be enjoying this stroller for a long time!

My piano man. He loves to "play" the piano. It's pretty impressive actually how he moves his fingers, playing 1 note at a time, like his Mommy. Then he quickly proceeds to pound at the keys... like a normal 15-month old. (Don't mind our awesome piano "bench.")

We are enjoying our two adorable little kiddos. They keep us busy, but that is good. I am getting excited for the holidays, and spending time with family! My parents are coming for Christmas! It will be so fun for them to see Ty & Em, and celebrate Christmas Texas-style.

halloween!

Just a few pics of Emery. She is growing and changing every day. She loves lounging on her bouncer chair and swing.

I realized that I haven't taken nearly as many pictures of Emery as I did of Ty. That's how it goes I guess. I'll try to be better. This will do for now.

Paxton took Ty out to trick-or-treat in his Peter Pan costume. He stopped by our neighbors house who hooked him up with a full size candy bar! They went to about 10 other houses then came home. But Ty loved it! He was really friendly with everybody and loved carrying his little bucket around.

Before trick or treating, we were at some friends' house, so when we got home, we quickly threw on his costume and headed out the door. We didn't get the right pants or shoes on. And he wouldn't wear his hat, which tops off the whole costume... oh well. He is still pretty darn cute!

He dumped out all his candy once he was home. I remember doing that when I got home. I would sort everything out in piles and count how much I got.

Yum!

Lately I can't get enough of this cute little guy! He makes the cutest faces, scrunching up his nose and smiling. I tried getting a picture of it, but it came out blurry. He is picking up more words, and repeating words we say, even when we're not talking to him. He is a smart little booger. I just love him.
