Before Kylie could turn the Big ONE, and Emma could finally sing "Happy Birthday" to her sister - she had been practicing for months...literally, just waiting for the actual day to come to get to sing to baby sister...we first needed to prepare physically (house cleaning), mentally (Emma would remind me DAILY that Ashy was coming soon so she could "come to my house and play wif me!!" - because everything revolves around play time with Emma...duh) emotionally (eep! screaming with joy whenever possible on the days leading up to the day we'd get to visit the airplanes and finally see "Ashy").

I had planned on making a paper chain countdown for Emma for the last 30 days of Ashley's mission and then 100% forgot until like 2 days before she came home - scratch that idea.  But Emma somehow survived the wait by helping mom and grandma clean and prep.  We were SO happy to have Ash home.  And Emma...well...her relationship with Ashley picked up right where they left off.  ...

.she didn't let go for a long time.

.Em was tired of picture happy people (me) and just wanted to take Ashy home to play with her.

It's now been almost a month since Ashley's been home and we're loving having her back!  I missed my baby sister more than words could say.  And to have her return after a completed mission - go girl!

We are WAY too behind to do separate posts of my little sweetheart's month to month growths, so we'll just wrap up her last few months of milestones in this one post to keep it simple {by posting a million picture} and help us move it along since we have a lot to catch up on.

So, without futher adieu...

.baby girl took her first steps at 9 months!.

.best girly friends.

....and sometimes, NOT best girly friends...

.her scrunchy nose is everything.

Months 9-11 were filled with new milestones.  She took her first steps at 9 months, went from walking to running at 10 months.  LOVES climbing the stairs.   Daddy's still her #1 and I hope that never changes (cutest thing ever).  She would only wake up once at night to eat and then go back to sleep.  We learned that even though she loves water, she's still not too big a fan of the pool....but we're sure she'll grow out of that as soon as she sees how much fun big sis has in the pool.  It won't be long before she's asking us daily to get in the water - if she's anything like her daddy.  :)

.she was obsessed with sticking her tongue out for like 3 months straight.
