Emmy - 11 Months Old

Emmy's hair is getting longer and longer each day. She successfully walks around the living room (if she's holding on to something), and talks non stop! She still uses her screaming voice in her talking sometimes, but other times, she has a normal little deep voice like the rest of the Corleys. I've been threatening teeth for months now, but she is still all slobber!! There was a time last week that I thought for sure we'd get to see some teeth, but still no luck. I have stopped nursing Emmy, which was a bittersweet experience. I surely miss our time together, but she was ready to move on. She has several words in her vocabulary arsenal. Some of them are "Dada", "Mama", "Uh oh", "Bye Bye", "Night Night", "Baba" (which means bottle), and she has even said "Sissy" once (for Rachel). Rachel, by the way, can not wait for Emmy's hair to get longer so that she can start putting little ribbons in her hair. Just the other day, Rachel grabbed a patch of longer hair in the back of Emmy's head, and said, "Look Mama! It's long enough!"

Emmy laughs almost as much as she talks, and looks more and more like her Daddy on a daily basis. She even has his dimple in her right cheek! I have gotten her into a cackling laugh from tickling her several times over the last few days, so let the fun begin!

It's hard to believe that she will 1 year old this time next month! What an amazing year it has been!
