Putting up the tree

We finally got around to putting up our christmas tree this past weekend. Ember was very interesting in helping daddy. We let her hand him the ornaments so that he could place them on the tree... that was until Ember decided to throw the round ornament like a ball, breaking one.

OOH.. Winnie the Pooh,
I want to play with that one daddy!

Little Bug Party

Today was Ember's first birthday party. She will be turning ONE on Nov. 23.

Sharing new train with Ben
Ready for some cake!

Finger Food

Applesauce isn't exactly finger food, but that did not stop Ember. We started out with spoon, but she grabbed it a couple times dumping the applesauce on her highchair and in her hair... so I let Ember try it herself. She threw the spoon on the floor and ate it with her fingers.

Our Little Pumpkin

Check out this smile, Ember went from 3 teeth to 6
in a couple days. She now has 2 teeth on top and 4 on bottom.

Going Mobile!

The past month Ember has been rolling around, attempting to crawl. Today, she finally figured things out.

Little Piggy

Ember wasn't a messy eater, until she visited
Grandma & Grandpa's farm,
now every time we eat she needs a bath.

Yum, Yum... I ate all grandpa's corn.

Look Grandma, all clean!

Chase Tyrone

Today we met cousin Chase, the newest addition to the Stock Family.

Uncle Chris also surprised us by returning from work in South Dakota.

Even though Chase is only a month old, he's already holding his head high and rolling from tummy to back, and back to tummy. He rolled over 3 times during the short visit we had.
