Amery Addison Shive 1st year Video

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas! hope everyone else did too. We spent Christmas Eve at my mom's for lunch, Randy's parents for dinner. It was busy but wonderful! We spent Christmas day at my mom's for the entire day! This was a wonderful holiday but even more special because it was Amery's 1st Christmas! We had a really special New years Eve, Randy had to work New years day early so he took me for a wonderful dinner (JUST THE @ OF US!!!) at Ruth Chris. It was my 1st time there, it was delicious!!! How sweet was my hubby! Then we picked up the kidos and went home to bed. :) I know we live on the wild side, what do you expect when you have 3 kids???? Now I have moved on to the next big deal in our family! Planning Amery's 1st birthday. I'm having so much fun planning this because I have only had the pleasure of planning boys b-days till now. Needless to say her birthday is filled with princess, and pink. :) Can't wait to celebrate it soon. I have attached the pictures from Christmas hope you all enjoy!

Growing more each day.

Just a little update, Amery is growing more each day. She is saying more words each day it seems, she now says:
Momma
Dada
Na-na (Nana)
Bye-Bye
No
Hi
Baby ( she also pats the baby dolls back)
and prob a few others that I just can't think of right now, she also likes to :
dance (bob up and down as seen in prior video clip)
Clap ( when anyone says yeah or she hears clapping)
Play peek-a-boo ( she actually hides and then pops out)
Give kisses
Laugh out loud ( when someone else laughs)
Play patty cake
Love on her baby dolls ( pat them on the back and give them kisses)

and so many others, but those listed are the cutest ones. She is not walking much on her own as of yet but she is trying I figure she will be walking fluently by Christmas, I keep discouraging it as I would like to hold on to her being a baby just a bit longer, plus because I do have two prior children I realize that once they walk it will only mean getting into more faster. :) She is so opposite of the boys, anyone who says that boys and girls are the same must not have had one of each. Example: When the boys were old enough to crawl toward the Christmas Tree and presents I would tell them no-no and shake my finger at them, and their response was to look right at me and continue to do what they wanted Amery on the other hand when told no-no (just from across the room) will stick her bottom lip out and cry as If we have just broken her little heart. ( It breaks mine and Randy's heart to scold her) She has prob only touched the tree or presents 2 times in the 3 weeks it has been up, she learns much faster than the boys did, I still cant get them to leave the tree and presents alone. LOL!
