Emma: Week 43

 * Size 2 diapers. Size 9 & 12 month clothes.
* Enjoyed being outside this week; we've had warmer weather recently and it's nice to go out!
* Likes to watch the spin cycle of the washing machine; it's on par with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Dinosaur Train!
* Climbs up on the treadmill and then climbs onto the bus; it's difficult for Emma to get down, though.
* Let's go and stands by herself several times a day, for up to 30 seconds at a time.
* Sat on Santa's lap. She was very confused and cried after 10 seconds. No smiling at all.
* Holds her play phone up to ear, like she's talking on it.
* So disappointing about the Dawgs loss; at least we showed up and played a great game! It looks like we will be cheering on a different SEC team in the championship game. (We were SO close!)
* Still having a difficult time getting Emma to eat. Haven't called doctor because she seems to be her normal self.
* Love dressing Emma up in Christmas clothes. So cute!

Emma: Week 42

* Size 2 diapers. Size 6 - 9, 9 and 12 month clothes.
* Emma is curious about the Christmas decorations that we are slowly starting to put out. She has been good so far about not touching.
* Cruising along while holding onto furniture.
* Not eating well. Likes to slap food out off of the spoon and food flies. Emma now gets a bath on a daily basis. Introducing more finger foods for a change.
* First marshmallow (Emma loves!)
* Emma likes to shake the pom-pom.
* Last home football game of the year; now, Emma can spend a little more time with her parents on Saturdays!

Emma: Week 41

* Size 2 diapers. Size 6 - 9, 9 month and 12 month clothes. (Emma can wear dresses in all 3 sizes but pants, onesies and pajamas are 9 & 12 months)
* UGA is # 3! Awesome to see that we control our own destiny! Greg, Emma and I might be taking a trip down to Miami in early January!
* Emma hasn't been eating well for a few days. This is unusual because she is a GREAT eater. New teeth?
* Stats: 18 lbs 2 oz (50%), 27 1/4 inches (45%), and head circumference is 43 cm (10%).  The NP said that Emma was right on track with all developments, especially not having any separation anxiety.
* Likes to say "Hi" and "Bye" all day long.
*Waves whenever we say "wave" instead of randomly. I love it when she waves at cars.
* Went to Savannah for Thanksgiving and Emma loved all of the attention:
* She enjoyed the whipped cream that Grandad gave her (first sweet).
* Enjoyed knocking down all of the magazines from Gigi and Papou's coffee table (favorite activity!)
* Traveled well; it's definitely best to travel at night, while Emma's sleeping. It's only fair to do this instead of Emma wanting to get out of the car seat and play.
* Went Black Friday shopping and got Emma some clothes.
* Was willing to let everyone hold her.
