We took our Christmas card pictures on Saturday as well as taking quite a few of Emma for her 11 month pictures. We started our in the house with this cute idea I found on pinterest. I have really found a lot of good ideas on that site. The lights were red, but it made her look red too so Scott fixed it to look better. She would touch the lights, but we had to be fast as she was trying to crawl out of the lights.
I want to get a few more of her in this cute tutu I made. She was being a little explorer this morning and would not be still long enough to get a good picture.
Then we headed out to our local Christmas tree farm where we went a few weeks ago to get our tree. Scott took them himself so that consisted of him setting up his tripod and then running back and forth to get in the picture. This swing is special to him and I.....a year ago we sat in this swing for our maternity pictures. A lot has happened and changed in our lives in the past year and we could not more happier or blessed!!!
So I just LOVE this picture. She was in such a happy mood being outside. She was being fussy on the way to the tree farm with her ear infections and teeth coming through, but as soon as we got out of the car, she was in the best mood!
She was sitting on the swing all by herself being such a big girl....of course I was right there beside her in case she tried to be a dare devil.
Then we went and put her in front of some trees. She sat still for a few minutes and then wanted to explore the ground around her. I love this dress. Susan and Joe got it for Emma and it looks so cute on her. I ordered her a dress as well in a 12 month and it is way too big for her, but I know she will be able to wear it next year either as a shorter dress or as a shirt over some jeans. I love smock dresses so much. They can be worn for several years!
She was seeing what the tree felt like. She played on the ground in front of the trees for awhile while we were out there. She had also been on antibiotic for her ear infection. We got home and gave her a bath before some friends came over for the SEC Championship game and I noticed a rash all over her body. We called the nurses and they said to stop and to give benedryl. Long story short, after it healed they said give her one more dose of the medicine to see if she was truely allergic to it and she never broke out again. So Scott and I think she got into something on the ground at the Christmas tree farm.
This was her outfit she wore to church yesterday. She has several Christmas looking outfits and we are trying to get all the wear out of them before Decemeber is over!
