Savoring the Simple Things

I'll post about Christmas later, today I just wanted to savor our mornings together. As much as I get a little stir crazy staying at home, I am so lucky that I get to spend all day with Emma. She makes me laugh so much and it's so fun watching her become "her". Here are a few pictures from this morning.

After days and days of eating what seemed like nothing but Christmas cookies,
she finally ate some broccoli for lunch.

There is nothing sweeter than baby fine hair in pigtails!

A sweet smile for the camera.

Reading in her new chair she got for Christmas. This was the splurge present, but well worth it!

Checking out her new radio from Auntie Trish!

Love those pigtails!

2 Weeks Until My New Job... SAHM!

That's right, I just put in my two weeks since the hubs got a job. I will get to stay home with Emma and be a full time stay at home mom/homemaker. I am so excited to be able to spend more time with Emma, especially this next year as her personality has been developing on what seems like a daily basis!

A few updates, she is now 13 months, walking, eating finger foods, taking swim lessons and loving Yo Gabba Gabba. That show is so weird, but there is constant music so I can see what the appeal is for a baby.

Hopefully, I will be more engaged in the blogging world now that I will have additional free time on my hands. I am fully taking on this next stage of life as a dream job, so I'm doing everything I can to prepare. I'm starting to develop cleaning charts & meal planners so that I don't go stir crazy! I figure if I schedule myself things to do every day then I won't get lazy and just end up laying on the couch eating popcorn and watch the Real Housewives all day long.

I made Emma blueberry pancakes on her birthday morning

Me and Emma get to spend so much more time together!
