7 months and counting!

The snow is here! We are experiencing our first blizzard of the winter, and so far, it's been a pretty great one:) The snow is beautiful and we got to spend the whole day cuddled up at home as a family napping and playing. The only downfall was that my family was planning on having our live nativity this weekend, but we are hoping to have it next weekend instead. I actually got to go out and shovel a little of the first snow before it got nasty out and it was fun! I was not allowed to do any last year as I was pregnant with miss Emma.
Speaking of whom, she is now sound asleep in bed after a hard day of being spoiled by mama and da-da:) I have to brag for just a moment as I truly believe she is the most beautiful baby ever! Although I quite enjoy being her best buddy right now, it is getting a little exhausting being almost the only thing she wants! She cries out EVERY time I leave the room and it's getting a little hard on this mommy. I'm sure it is a phase and I will miss it later. She is still a charmer and has the cutest smiles for almost everyone! (As long as her mommy is near by.) She eats about 3 meals a day of fruits/veggies/oatmeal or rice cereal. Usually fruit in the mornings, veggies with or following lunch, and some fruits or veggies with rice creal in the evenings. She's a great eater, but I have noticed she is wanting her bottle less and less throughout the day....not sure if this is typical at her age or not, but she will still get 3-5 bottles a day. We were just noticing today how well she can get around the room. Not crawling yet, but rolling and scooting all across the floor! We have started baby-proofing the house as a few of her favorite things to grab and chew on are our shoes, the remote, and working her way to the dvd player which she has turned on a few times. It won't be long now till she's into everything!
Well, I've got a date with some peanut butter m&m's, (I'm getting a head start on my "healthy" holiday eating;P) Hope all our loved ones in Iowa are staying safe and warm! Nights like this I say a special prayer for my cousin Ronnie who works for the DOT and heads out to plow the roads when we all are staying in!!
Night everyone!

18 days till Christmas!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited for our first Christmas with Emma ♥
