Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby girl LOVES the Christmas Tree (oh, and Lou Lou).

Uncle Adam and Emma Clare on a train ride!

Christmas card? Yes, that is Chris and I in the same pair of shorts...

 

 

 

So much to be thankful for this year! Look at our beautiful little girl, what is not to love! We had a great Thanksgiving with Grandma Claudia and Uncle Adam. Chris made bacon wrapped Turkey-it was to die for! And now that Thanksgiving is finally over (not to knock the holiday-but it is just no my fav-everything you make for dinner is like half eaten already-mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce. When can we get a holiday where we can just eat pizza and pasta and egg rolls? That would be my kind of holiday...) Christmas is in full bloom! Our tree is up, Emma Clare has seen Santa-and LOVED him (I'll scan the picture in soon) and you better believe that we are listening to nonstop Christmas music in the Mullen's house! WAHOOOO!

In other news-Emma Clare has another tooth! Yay! Now that it has finally popped through, we are all hoping for a little more sleep. I can't remember when she slept for more than 3 hours in a row...momma needs so sleep BAD. Good think she is such a love bug!!

Oh, and for your viewing pleasure...I think Uncle Adam may enjoyed it more than Emma Clare!

 

 



Snack Time!

She is just the cutest! Here is Emma Clare enjoying snack time (who wouldn't want baby mum mums and water?) She is still trying to figure out the sippy cup, I think maybe 1 or 2 drops of water actually got into her mouth.

Emma Clare had a little bit of a rough weekend-we think teething-and did not sleep well Friday or Saturday night (so mommy and daddy are a little bit sleepy...). We are all getting so excited for Thanksgiving and Emma Clare cannot wait to see Grandma Claudia and Uncle Adam on Wednesday!

Random Weekend Pictures!

 Merry Christmas! Mom said it was ok to start celebrating, even though it is not Thanksgiving yet!

 Someone woke up in a good mood (and it wasn't mom since this picture was taken at 6:30am on Saturday, good think she's so cute!)

 Thanks for the outfit Grandma Pat.

Wearing my browns bib, even though they didn't play this weekend. I'm a true fan!

 

 

 

Chris and Lou Lou wer out of town this weekend, so it was time for just the girls to hang out! We went to the park, shopping, and for lots of walks! Emma Clare has an awful cold right now (and ear infection...what else is new) and was wheezing a ton! The problem is she still doesn't want to sit still, and then wheezes even harder! Poor baby! But she was in great spirits all weekend, and slept pretty well (only getting up once each night) and took great naps. We had a great time, but are excited for Daddy and Lou to be home! 

A Weekend of Fun!

This weekend our friends Michele and Chris came to Savannah. We enjoyed the 70 degree weather and walked around downtown. Then Emma Clare got shot out of a cannon. All in a normal day with the Mullens! (sorry the pick is a little dark, but her face is priceless!) We had a great time!

 On Sunday, EC and I took a trip to the mall so Dad could get some much needed grading done. Emma Clare just propped up her feet and enjoyed the ride! Everyone we passed was laughing at her, what a cuttie! She also discovered yogurt melts this weekend, which she loved. You can see in this picture that she is holding the bag...and she would not let me take it away. Thank goodness she has not figured out how to open the bag yet!

And this is what happens due to the time change. EC turns from a sweet baby, to a man eating baby!Sometimes EC is sweet, and sometimes she is hungry. Watch out Chris! Just gotta love this girl!

Happy Halloween!

Mom! How's a girl supposed to crawl?

 



I'm in full bloom!

 



 You have to be kidding me!

 

 

 

Happy Halloween! Emma Clare was a flower...although our friend's son thought she was an eggplant (cutest darn eggplant I've ever seen!) We went trick or treating with our friends, meaning we used Emma Clare as an excellent excuse to get candy. Don't worry, we only took candy from a few houses...

In other news, EC had her first week in her new classroom at daycare. She is no the youngest in her class room (by nearly two months!). I'd love to say she is also the smallest, but that simply is not true. She is doing really well in her new classroom, and is learning a lot! Her crawling is improving (she is getting FAST) and she has started pulling up! I'm totally not ready for her to start walking, so don't even mention it!

Oh, and good thing she is so darn cute because Emma Clare has forgotten that she is supposed to sleep at night. I'm guessing this is due to the 4 teeth she recently got, and it looks like we have a few more coming in! She has been sleeping 8pm-1am then getting up for a bottle and sleeping until around 5 or 5:30 and sometimes I can get her to go back down after that. You would think this would mean more naps during the day, no way José! At least she is not a crab because of it, but momma and daddy are sleepy!

Have a great Thursday!
