First Thanksgiving

We just celebrated Emily's first Thanksgiving! This is my favorite holiday and I was very excited to be sharing it with her this year. My big plan...nap the baby late so she makes it to a late afternoon nap so she can eat Turkey with us! Well, it worked but she was REALLY tired once I finally put her down at 3.








This girl is one silly baby! She loves to laugh!!







Then it was time for Daddy's favorite part of Thanksgiving...Cowboys Game! So Emily suited up in her cheerleading outfit to cheer on the team. She has recently learned how to clap which came in handy that day :)



We went up to New Hampshire to my aunt's house for the Gove Family Thanksgiving on Friday and spent the rest of the weekend practicing how to crawl. I know we're going to regret encouraging this so much but she's ALMOST THERE!!

Crawling is next on the list!

Wow, I just looked back and saw my last post was in June when Emily rolled over for the first time. I thought timing (although delayed) is perfect because I just took a video of her trying to crawl!

She is a busy girl these days and really ready to go. As with every milestone we are so excited to watch her master this new step, but it also comes with a little sadness that she isn't that little infant we brought home only 8 months ago. When people say it goes by fast - they mean it!
