From Jamie:
I am crawling super fast these days and can practically "run" around the coffee table while holding on with both hands. I plan to walk any day now but am enjoying crawling too. It allows me to tear holes in the knees of my pants and find stray dog food in the kitchen.
My new found love is Thomas the Train, which mommy despises. She says it's so boring and weird with strange undertones. But whatever, I like it. I like to dance when the song comes on.
I still love bathtime and my bathtime bubble machine. I also really like trying to go up the stairs when mommy and daddy aren't looking. I don't know what that gets me in trouble.
That big spotted monster has been growling at me more when I get too close to him on the couch. The little furry one steals my toys all of the time. I don't know why mommy and daddy let them in the house. They are scary and loud.
Mommy MADE me get my hair cut last week. It was brutal! The used this buzzy thing to cut the fuzz off the back of my head. I don't understand. I just got that fuzz! I did get a fireman puppet afterwards though!

We went to A Christmas Affair to see a white bearded man in red velvet pajamas last week. I liked it and the man. I got to eat muffins and had a yummy sweet brown milk. I wish that all of my milk was brown and tasted like that!
From Mommy:
This is my absolute favorite time of year!! I LOVE the holidays and am obsessed with all things Christmas!
We are headed to OKC to to spend TG with Allen's family. Looking forward to Jamie's first TG and seeing friends and family. We will be spending Christmas at home. Hoping this Christmas is better than last year- we ended up at Dell Children's Hospital with a kidney infection on Christmas day and stayed there for 10 DAYS! Yuck!
I am working on Christmas decorations. Unfortunately my gorgeous 7.5 foot pre-lit tree isn't so lit right now. Working on fixing that. If I can't fix it I may just light the whole dang thing on fire! Anyways, planning to finish decorating after TG.
I have Jamie's first bday party planned. Super excited about that. Nana is coming for sure and hoping CD (my father, aka self-named Cat Daddy) will make it too.
The raffle for Baby Maverick ended last week and they picked the winners this past Saturday. Two people in Amarillo, 1 person in Clovis, NM, and my mom all won an pad. I know, I know, it wasn't rigged I swear! I wasn't even there for the drawing! Crazy!! Not sure how much money we raised but I know about 4000 tickets were sold! So happy to be able to help the Crawfords in some way. Baby Maverick is doing so much better. You can read more about him at www.caringbridge.com/visit/maverick.
Allen is doing well- working, gun enthusiast, daddy, etc. He took me to te gun range last week and we had a blast. I am planning on getting my CHL after some more practice with the sweet Walther 9mm that I love! This past weekend Allen babyproofed all of the cabinets and drawers to prevent monkey invasion/distruction.
I am still woking at austinwomn Magazine, only in the office Mon-Wed. Thankful for a boss that allows me to do that!
That's all. Happy TG!
Love,
Emily
