This was definitely a new fall favorite for us and it will definitely get added to the list for next year! 

a letter to emery | 10 months

Emery Cate, you are officially 10 month old! I am enjoying this stage so much! You love to eat with your hands, you enjoy playing with toys and you are so easy to please! I love to hold you and just kiss your little (big) cheeks! You love momma's kisses!

You love to eat! If anyone has food, you can bet you are going to crawl over to them for a bite! And, chances are that you aren't going to get fed fast enough for your liking so you will get mad and start doing your fake whine accompanied with a face this looks like the world is ending. You love it all and won't turn down a bite.

You are so active and you love to follow Avery everywhere! If she is playing with a toy, you have to check it out. You are so curious about anything she is doing or eating. When Avery has her meltdowns, you are never phased. Most times you never even glance at her which is really funny to us. You must be used to the noise. Papa calls you am octopus because you just reach and grab for anything and everything until you get something in those hands.

You are mostly in 12 month clothes and are wearing some 18 month clothes. You are a chunk & I LOVE it!

You still only have your 2 bottom teeth and your hair is starting to lighten up some. I'm in denial about that because I want your hair to stay dark like mine. Your eyes are still blue like your daddy's!

You are taking 2 maps a day and will sleep a long stretch a night. You will still want a bottle during the night a few times a week and you let us know but doing the loudest groan! (I can't even explain this sound!!)

We are already planning your first birthday which is so crazy to me! I can't wait to watch you dive into your smash cake! Your daddy and I love to imagine you with your smash cake because we know you will love it!

You are so precious and so happy! You are so smiley and only whine on occasion ... usually when you are hungry or sleepy! You do love to pull on mommas leg when you want me to pick you up, but other than that, you are very content playing or watching Avery!

Our precious Em, you are so, so loved! 

Keep growing big and strong!
