December 1st~ Emma was 18 Months

Here is Emma on December 1st. We had bought her this Fisher Price nativity last year, after Christmas. It has been hiding under HER OWN BED all year long! Waiting for this day to arrive. It celebrates her 18 months of life and kicks off the Christmas season. (she was 24.5 pounds and 33.5 inches)

You can press down on the angel and it plays a Christmas carol. She likes that!

Think she likes it??? Or is just a ham? Probably a bit of both!

Nana had also given her an Advent calendar filled with little pcs. of chocolate. She has had very little candy of any kind, so this was something new and special!

Let em tell you, she has her Daddy's sweet tooth for sure! She very quickly caught on to the opening of a new window each day and remembered to ask for "chockie"!! I removed a picture from her wall and hung it on the wall. Easy to see, for us to get to but not at her reach.


It didn't take her too long to figure out which one was the "mama" and the baby ("de-de", as she can't pronounce a B sound yet)

Her Nativity all set up. Such a cute little thing! Although it was not created by a Jewish designer. How do I know that, you ask? It has a pink pig!! What in the world does a pig have to do with the Nativity story? Or with Jewish life and culture??? Odd.

Later that morning we went out to water the garden and Miss Emma decided to water herself! Funny isn't it that it is warm enough here to wear shorts and not worry about getting soaking wet in December??? (But then a month later we were at freezing temps!!)
She's trying to be helpful! But, mostly just getting into the water...

My Sugar Snap Peas. I planted them in late October maybe, not realizing that they didn't really like to be transplanted... So, I had to replant most of them and they are just now beginning to produce.

I have 3 rows of radishes planted! More than I can use probably! We have given some to Mom & Dad. Offered them to the neighbors but they didn't seem too interested. I don't care to just bite into one, but I do enjoy them in a salad. They have all come form one packet of seeds, but they are red, pinkish red and even some purple ones. Round, oval, oblong... Weird. Tasty, but odd.
