Sprinkles the Elf: Day 8

This morning the girls caught Sprinkles sneaking some candy! Emma kept saying "no candy" as she knows we have a 'no candy for breakfast' rule! Haha!!

That's my kind of girl!

Sprinkles the Elf: Day 7

I guess Sprinkles wanted to reward the girls for doing so well with their Santa visit yesterday that she brought them each a slinky from the North Pole!!! Sprinkles couldn't hold back her excitement and opened one up managing to get herself all caught up in it!

Silly Sprinkles!

Santa 2012

The girls were so eager to go see Santa this year!! I've been trying to get them all excited so that there would be no tears. I knew Reese would be great at this age but wondered about Emma. I got the cutest video of Emma this morning...

Once we got to the Santa set the girls immediately started jumping up and down!! They could hardly wait the 3 minutes in line to see him. Reese and Emma both ran right up to him and immediately started talking with him. Reese gave Santa a big hug and told him she would like a bicycle! Emma had to show Santa her hair bows which had Santa hats on them ... and also asked for a bike. Scarlett was woken up right before being placed in his lap or I'm pretty sure she would have given a smile too. 

Sprinkles the Elf: Day 6

Sprinkles the Elf: Day 5

Yesterday I did a lot of gift wrapping so that the girls wouldn't see their presents that were piling up. I guess that didn't prevent someone from sneaking a peek...

No peeking Sprinkles!!!

The girls actually had a tough time finding her this time and walked right past her at least 5 times. After a little direction she was spotted!

Sprinkles the Elf: Day 4

After all that hanging upside down, Sprinkles must have been very tired! She made herself a bed and even borrowed a snuggle buddy!!

Sleep Tight

Scarlett Kate is 11 Months Old!!!

I feel terrible because somehow the 27th got away from me and I'm late taking pictures and updating the blog. These pictures are not the best because I was trying to hurry after dinner and she wanted to nurse. 

I'm done!

Nursing: I have made it 11 months of breastfeeding!! I can't believe it and am very proud. I am both very excited to be done next month but also saddened that those special moments will be no longer. She does NOT take a paci and I wonder how I will be able to soothe her after she is weaned. 

Eating: She eats everything! Scarlett gets the same meals we do and she eats it all!! She loves meat and even cleared her serving of pulled pork before her two older sisters!

Teething: She has finally cut one of the two bottom molars that have been moving so slow! Hence, the constant finger in the side of her mouth. So she is up to 9 teeth with the 10th (molar) coming very soon. 

Mobility: She pulls up on everything so easily now! She is transferring between objects of furniture as long as she can hold onto something while doing it. I try and get her to let go and walk to me and she gives me this look like she's thinking about it but I must be crazy! She is starting to walk well if you hold her hand. 

Sleep: YIKES!! Maybe one day I will get to sleep through the night but it hasn't happened but a few times. I am still dream feeding her before I go to bed and having to wake up to nurse her btwn 2:30-5am. 

Communication: She can sign "all done", "bye bye", "milk", & say "mama", "dada", "bye bye" and we are still working on the signs "more" and "eat". 

Growth: She seems HUGE to us compared to our other girls. She is wearing size 18mo but I don't hesitate buying 2T shirts! All her 12mo clothes are too tight/short. 

Personality: She has the BEST personality!! Scarlett is so relaxed and laid back. She goes with the flow and can easily alter her nap times based on what is happening. We are trying to give her only one nap a day now since she is transitioning out of the nursery in just a few short weeks. She is always smiling, talking, playing, and she gives the best hugs!!!

Planning is underway for her Winter ONEderland party!
