Happy Birthday Britton
A couple weeks ago, Emmy's first official friend, Britton Mackintosh, turned one-year-old. It's been fun watching her grow this past year, and being able to see what's just around the corner for our little one. Below are some pics from the wonderful party Barbara hosted.

Baby's First Thanksgiving
The fam loaded up and headed down to Quincy, Florida this past Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with Drew’s dad and brothers. Mary Helena cooked a wonderful feast and you can see how happy Emmy was to be there!
It’s been a strange yet wonderful year and we certainly have very much to be thankful for. I'm thankful first and foremost for my family. Our little threesome brings me so much joy -- it's tough to imagine life before Junebug.

Big Girl Stroller
Had to share this cute photo of Em in her new ride. This is what we take on our shopping trips. You wouldn’t believe how small it folds up!
Emmy’s Baptism & Half Birthday
It’s hard to believe our little pumpkin is 6 months old. Just before her half birthday on November 9th, Emmy was baptized at our church, All Saints Episcopal. Junebug doesn’t do very well sitting through an hour-long service, and even managed to fit in a smelly surprise just as the service began. But I’ll say she did do beautifully as Rev’d Geoffrey Hoare showered her little noggin with holy water. No screams from our little one.
We were joined at the church by close friends and family to witness the sacred moment. We know that Mackensy, Heidi and Evan will make wonderful godparents.
Following the service, everyone joined us back at the house for a get-together and lunch. It meant so much to have everyone there. Playing the role of host, I managed to not take a single picture all weekend. So yes, I missed the chance to get a shot of Emmy’s first trip to the Georgia Aquarium, which she seemed to enjoy. And all of the wonderful photo opps with my dear cousin Carrie and her son Alex, in from Philly. And shots of my Mom-Mom (in from Florida) spending time with Emmy.
So I’m relying on friends’ and family’s shots (see below). And luckily, Sean Randall came and took some great shots of the family with little Em – the one black and white shot below is one that he took. The rest of the pics can be found on his website:

Morning Person
Emmy is most happy in the morning. She smiles nonstop and is in the best mood.
And ladies and gentleman, we have another milestone.......I have to help Em stay focused, but for the most part, she's a big girl and can give herself a bottle!
Lastly, she's developed a fascination and love for our other girls -- Maddie & Jane. She pushes herself forward in her swing so she can get a good view of them. It's so cute.

Our Ladybug's First Halloween
Emmy’s first Halloween was a success. She was the cutest darn ladybug I’ve ever seen. See below some pics of her all dressed up.
I'm a Slacker Mommy
It’s been a really busy time in the Webb House this past month. Daddy came home, and we’ve been going, going, going ever since. For this reason, this is my first post in a month…I’m so bad!
Some highlights from the month – Emmy now rolls over from back to front, but can’t seem to get back over. For this reason, nights quickly became nightmarish this past weekend. She rolls over in the crib to sleep, but when she wakes up, I think she’s frightened that she’s on her stomach and she can’t get back over. We counted 6 times Friday night, 4 times Saturday night, and just 2 times last night. So if she keeps trending this way, we’ll get a full night’s sleep tonight!
The Bug has also discovered she has feet, and that they taste pretty good. They, along with anything else she can get her hands on, are in her mouth constantly.
And lastly, we have a good eater! It took a few weeks, but now we’ve mastered apples, bananas, butternut squash and carrots. If we don’t keep the bites coming quickly enough, little bit lets us know by letting out a big growl. It’s the funniest thing. Tonight we’re going to try some green beans I made last night. We’ll see how that goes over. I’m not sure I’d like to eat mushy green beans, but maybe she’ll like them.
