Big news today!!!!!

Emmy walked!

Momma cried.

She is growing so fast!  I love her personality so much!  She is very intuitive, sensitive, silly, busy, playful and determined.  

She has been the picture perfect child since the day she was born.  It makes me want ten more just like her. Caleb and I have been back and forth with the idea of having another sooner rather than later (from the time Emmalyn was three months old).  She's that good!

Obviously unless some miracle happens during the three and half days that Caleb will be in SC next month, there will be no sibling for Emmy for quite some time.  For now, I'm fine with that.  God knows what is best for our family and His timing is perfect.  Honestly, it doesn't matter to me if I become a mother of two in nine months or two years or never.  I love the life that God has given me and the child He has entrusted Caleb and me to raise.

So, for now, I'm enjoying the time I get with my one and only daughter.  And praying daily for her to know our wonderful Christ and for Him to be with all three of us, whether we are together or miles apart.

With that said, here are some recent photos of my now, slowly walking child.

Snack time

My brother said she looks like Tommy Pickles from Rugrats in this "outfit"

Emmy's best bud, Huey.  He goes everywhere she does especially when she has food.  He lets her climb all over him and she hugs him and pets him and even grabs his tail and he doesn't do a thing.  He is so good with her.  I think he has something to do with the fact that she loves animals.

I was editing photos one afternoon while Emmalyn played.  I peaked around the couch and this is what I found.  I love how Dixie is asleep under the table.

Whoops, I got caught.

So busy

After baths last night we put in The Little Mermaid and gave Emmy a snack.  

Then this morning she expressed interest in playing the piano.  She sat and banged around for a lot time and even played some for Daddy when we had our family skype date.  I guess I need to pull out my old books and starts sharpening my skills if she is this interested already!
