Cha Cha Cha

Wednesday evening Emory discovered the tambourine and maracas at grandma's house and started singing cha cha cha while dancing and playing. She put on quite a show!

 Cason joined in too!

All the playing, singing, and dancing finally wore her out.

Sick Days

An ugly bacterial infection has been raining havoc on the Cobb household. Last Monday Cason came down with it and missed two days at Ms. Betty's and then last night Emory woke up crying at 10:30 with fever and a sore throat. It was a rough night for Emory, but thankfully Cason slept through it all. So this morning I made another trip to the doctor and now Emory is on an antibiotic. I did find out their current weight. Cason weighs 19 lbs 11 ounces and Emory 26 lbs 8 ounces. I have a feeling that Cason will pass his sister in the weight department soon! Cason is now back to his happy go lucky self (his top four teeth are all in too) and hopefully Emory will be feeling better soon.

My two sick sleeping babies. I should say baby and big girl. Emory would have a cow if I referred to her as a baby.

Thanksgiving

Saturday we had Thanksgiving at Bradley’s parent’s house. This year it was just us, his parents, and Rachel and Andrew. We had a good time visiting with each other. Emory enjoyed playing with Mckenzie and Cason had fun serenading everyone with a song during lunch. He is so vocal these days. He has even said dada and mmmama a few times this weekend. Wednesday we are headed to my parent’s house for Thanksgiving with my family.

I am so thankful that these three silly billy's are healthy!

Discoveries

Sunday evening Cason was crawling around and discovered the windows in the french doors. He looked so little sitting in front of the doors that I had to get out the camera and take a picture. Once he discovered the camera his attention quickly turned towards the camera strap and he soon headed over to me to investigate and of course put it in his mouth. I think the strap reminded him of a cord. Cason LOVES cords and has found every single lamp cord in the living room and his bedroom.

He is missing his pants in these pictures because he spit up all over them just before he discovered the doors. He is cutting his four top teeth all at the same time and between the spit-up, drool, and fever he has not felt well. Poor baby. For those that are counting that makes 6 teeth.

Two of a kind

 Yesterday Emory and Cason played together for the first time. Usually they play side by side or Emory will bring Cason a toy, talk to him for a second, and then go back to doing her own thing. However, yesterday they both played with the cube together for quite some time. Emory was "learning him how to do it," translation, teaching Cason how to play with the cube.  Then Emory decided they needed to jump rope, which consisted of Cason holding and chewing on one end of the rope while Emory jumped up and down with the other. Great times!

This face cracks me up!

Later while I was feeding Cason a scrumptious lunch of sweet corn and rice (his favorite), I noticed Emory was suspiciously quiet in her room. After she came and got her stool out of the pantry I knew something was up. When I asked her if she was okay, she told me "I fine." When I asked what she was doing she told me "just playing." Hmm... So after Cason finished we headed into her room to investigate and found this:

Emory had drug out ALL of her Playdough and was playing with the yellow on her dresser, YIKES!

Emoryisms

Emory never ceases to do or say something funny, sweet, or witty and sometimes she is just down right hilarious. I decided I needed to write a few of the things she has been doing down.

The other day Emory and I were in Hobby Lobby perusing the Christmas aisles when she started to sing (very loudly) “jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.” She then added her own verse to the song, “merry Christmas all the way, merry Christmas all the way.” She sang at the top of her lungs which drew quite the crowd. She sang for such a long time that I got a little embarrassed. She then spotted the nativity sets and  proceeded to tell everyone we passed that baby Jesus, his mommy and daddy were in their barn over there. I guess she has Christmas on the brain, because she chose to wear a Christmas outfit from last year today.

The other night just before her bath she asked her daddy if he wanted to build a tower (with her Lego's). When he told her he would build a tower with her after her bath, she looked at me and said, “daddy won’t build a tower with me, I guess I will have to build one ALL by myself,” which was code for I do not want to take a bath!

I walked into Emory's bathroom this morning and found this. Apparently she decided that the rug needed to be around her potty chair. If you are wondering what those spots are under and next to the lid of her potty chair, they are stickers from when she decorated it a while back.

I also discovered Emory's little spoons and spatulas for her "cooker" (kitchen) in the silverware draw the other day.

She loves to sing the Go Diego Go theme song, except she says Eggo instead of Diego!

A few phrases she is using on a regular basis these days:

“It looks like morning” 
“It sure is..….”
"Do you wanna......"
“It’s okay buddy”

I of course had to include a picture of "buddy." Emory loves her little brother so much and gives him loves and kisses just because! So sweet.

Temper Temper

Last night a certain little boy pitched a big boy fit when he did not get his way. Cason managed to find a magazine tucked in between his exersaucer and the coffee table and of course he did not stop until it was in his mouth. He was all smiles until I took the magazine away. Then his smile turned into a temper tantrum that was his biggest to date. Reminded me of another little blue eyed blond hair Cobb that I know!
