Who's a procrastinator?

Not me, really. I would blog, but am having a few problems.

1. My inherited laptop is having a hard time downloading photo's
2. My "cough" has gone on and on and on......it's sucking me dry
3. Above cough has also taken ALL of my energy...not just some...ALL

I'll update you with Emerson. Emerson turned 1 on Nov. 16. I NEVER thought I would be the mother of a one year old. I am feeling every sleepless night, but still don't know where the time went. Emerson is so much fun. She is crawling, muy rapido, everywhere. She is busy getting into cupboards, under tables, chasing the cats, pounding on windows. She has also been pulling up and practicing standing. It won't be long before she's walking....she can take as long as she wants....it's hard keeping up with her right now.
She is still a champion sleeper...12-13 hours a night. She is a horrible daytime sleeper...one hour max. She has never been a great daytime napper, but this bothers her grandmother more than anything else (she wears Grandma out and I think Grandma needs the sleep more than Emerson). She has also been a champion eater until this last week or so, when she decided that she isn't that interested in eating anything that isn't Yo Baby yogurt, oatmeal, puffs or fruit. I have to sneak the meat and veggies in, but she's getting wise to my tactics. I'll have to think of something new. Any suggestions?
We have introduced Emerson to whole milk without any problems. I was determined that she would drink breast milk for one year, and I am happy to say I met that goal. I am especially proud that I did it by pumping alone. Yes, that's right...I pumped for almost a year. Long story, but the whole breast feeding thing didn't work our for us, so I pumped and was able to freeze about 1500 ounces. My breasts still haven't recovered...I'm not sure if they ever will.
So.....anyone need a heavily used breast pump?
Emerson waves "bye bye" to everyone, even if they aren't leaving and is giving "high 5's". She doesn't quite have the hang of clapping her own hands, but likes to grab your hands and make them clap for you. She finds this hilarious and laughs out loud at her own handiwork.
She STILL only has her 2 bottom teeth. I know there are others just waiting to come through, just not here yet. At least she got some teeth...I was beginning to think she was going to need baby dentures because she didn't get teeth until she was 10 months old.

This post is getting to be long, so I'll wrap it up:
1 year stats
Wt: 17.10 5-10th percentile
Ht: 28 5-10th percentile
Head circ: 50th percentile
She is still a petite one, but proportionate, so it's fine.

She's still in her helmet and has made 75% improvement. This is better than anticipated, so we are THRILLED! We'll keep her in the helmet as long as it fits, there is room and opportunity for improvement and she'll wear it. She's used to it, so it's not a problem. Plus, it gives her some added "protection" at school from the rough and tumble toddlers she's with.

Emerson is such sweet girl. She has brought us such joy and happiness....we often wonder how it is possible to have such love for someone. God has smiled on us. We are blessed with a beautiful daughter and we couldn't ask for more.
